“…In Argentina, there are at least 57 neonicotinoid/pyrethroid mixture formulations registered for this purpose, although not all of them are currently in commercial use (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria, personal communication, Dec 2013). Recent studies in soy production regions of South America detected imidacloprid in 43% of surface water samples (Argentina; de Geronimo et al 2014) and thiamethoxam in 100% of surface water samples (Brazil; Rocha et al 2015).…”

Concentrations of 17 insecticides were measured in sediments collected from 53 streams in soy production regions of South America (Argentina in 2011-2014, Paraguay and Brazil in 2013) during peak application periods. Although environmental regulations are quite different in each country, commonly used insecticides were detected at high frequencies in all regions. Maximum concentrations (and detection frequencies) for each sampling event ranged from: 1.2-7.4 ng/g dw chlorpyrifos (56-100%); 0.9-8.3 ng/g dw cypermethrin (20-100%); 0.42-16.6 ng/g dw lambda-cyhalothrin (60-100%); and, 0.49-2.1 ng/g dw endosulfan (13-100%). Other pyrethroids were detected less frequently. Banned organochlorines were most frequently detected in Brazil. In all countries, cypermethrin and/or lambda-cyhalothrin toxic units (TUs), based on Hyalella azteca LC50 bioassays, were occasionally>0.5 (indicating likely acute toxicity), while TUs for other insecticides were <0.5. All samples with total insecticide TU>1 were collected from streams with riparian buffer width<20 m. A multiple regression analysis that included five landscape and habitat predictor variables for the Brazilian streams examined indicated that buffer width was the most important predictor variable in explaining total insecticide TU values. While Brazil and Paraguay require forested stream buffers, there were no such regulations in the Argentine pampas, where buffer widths were smaller. Multiple insecticides were found in almost all stream sediment samples in intensive soy production regions, with pyrethroids most often occurring at acutely toxic concentrations, and the greatest potential for insecticide toxicity occurring in streams with minimum buffer width<20 m.

“…Clothianidin and thiacloprid were registered for the control of insects in crops of pome fruits, stone fruits and fruit trees, as well as vegetables and turf grass . Thiamethoxam is utilized against termites, cockroaches, fleas, ants, adult flies, and larvae and is used on corn, vegetables, and fruit trees …”

The contamination of water with pesticides used in agriculture and urban areas is a priority issue that is currently of global concern. In 2015, the European Union (EU) published the first Watch List (1st WL), which showed the necessity for Union‐wide monitoring of ten organic substances/groups of substances in the field of water policy. The list includes, among other items, eight pesticides: five neonicotinoids (acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiacloprid, and thiamethoxam), and methiocarb, oxadiazon, and tri‐allate. In 2018 the EU published the second Watch List, which repealed the 1st WL. In this list, among other changes, one pesticide (metaflumizone) was added, and two (oxadiazon and tri‐allate) were removed. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge on the reported occurrence and concentrations of these pesticides in surface and groundwaters and in effluents from wastewater treatment plants derived from 73 studies in 21 countries worldwide. Imidacloprid, acetamiprid and thiamethoxam were the most frequently found pesticides due to their widespread use, while metaflumizone, methiocarb, oxadiazon, and tri‐allate are less studied pesticides whose occurrence in water is also poorly reported. More investigation is needed to assess the occurrence and impact of these pesticides on the aquatic environment worldwide in the context of water supply and human security.

“…All 15 samples taken from a stream in the Mato Grosso (Brazil) that has been monitored for water quality contained residues of thiamethoxam at average concentrations of 1400 ng/L (Rocha et al 2015). In Portugal, all 18 samples from the Arade estuary contained residues of imidacloprid up to 8 ng/L (Gonzalez-Rey et al 2015).…”

With the exponential number of published data on neonicotinoids and fipronil during the last decade, an updated review of literature has been conducted in three parts. The present part focuses on gaps of knowledge that have been addressed after publication of the Worldwide Integrated Assessment (WIA) on systemic insecticides in 2015. More specifically, new data on the mode of action and metabolism of neonicotinoids and fipronil, and their toxicity to invertebrates and vertebrates, were obtained. We included the newly detected synergistic effects and/or interactions of these systemic insecticides with other insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, adjuvants, honeybee viruses, and parasites of honeybees. New studies have also investigated the contamination of all environmental compartments (air and dust, soil, water, sediments, and plants) as well as bees and apicultural products, food and beverages, and the exposure of invertebrates and vertebrates to such contaminants. Finally, we review new publications on remediation of neonicotinoids and fipronil, especially in water systems. Conclusions of the previous WIA in 2015 are reinforced; neonicotinoids and fipronil represent a major threat worldwide for biodiversity, ecosystems, and all the services the latter provide.
