This study presents a novel pesticide transport module for the OpenLISEM runoff and erosion model. During water events, high amounts of pesticides can be transported alongside runoff. Simulating this process helps to mitigate adverse effects in environment.

We profiled found different matrices using existing hazard classifications towards non-target organisms humans.

The integration of effect-based and chemical profiling has been advocated to assess the potential ecotoxicological risks posed by mixtures present in aquatic ecosystems. However, concentrations contaminants surface waters can vary greatly over time space, making it challenging ensure risk assessment. Although first results are promising, not yet proven that these combined approaches also capable capturing temporal variation risks. study aimed test this combining passive time-integrative sampling with chemical-analytical techniques agricultural waterways.

The release of chemicals into the environment presents a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems dependent on proximity emission sources and seasonal dynamics mobilization. While spatial-temporal information water pollution in Europe is increasing, there are substantial knowledge gaps tropical countries. Thus, we took Lake Victoria South Basin western Kenya as case study identify spatial hot spots contamination, quantified toxic risks different groups organisms, identified risk drivers. For this purpose, analyzed grab samples from five rivers with agricultural wastewater treatment plants their catchment four seasons. We used liquid chromatography coupled high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) target list 785 organic micropollutants. A total 307 compounds were detected concentrations ranging 0.3 ng/L 6.6 μg/L.

Due to their high biodiversity, small water bodies play an important role for freshwater ecosystems. Nonetheless, systematic pesticide monitoring in creeks with a catchment <30 km2 is rarely conducted.In this study, event-driven samples were taken from May until November 2017 and March July 2018 after 20 rain events at three sampling sites areas of <27 the Wetterau, region intensive agriculture Southern Hesse, Germany. Additionally, enriched extracts native campaign used Microtox assay determine baseline toxicity invertebrates over time sum toxic units (STU) calculated compare potential samples.Overall, 37 pesticides 17 transformation products found, whereby herbicide metamitron (79 µg/L) showed highest concentration. Regularly, concentrations peaked level within each event. Within event maximum concentration was mostly reached during first two hours.

About 60 % of Europe's rivers fail to meet ecological quality standards derived from biological criteria. The causes are manifold, but recent reports suggest a dominant role hydro-morphological and water quality-related stressors. Yet, in particular micropollutants hydrological stressors often tend be underrepresented multiple-stressor studies. Using monitoring data four Federal States Germany, this study investigated the effects 19 stressor variables six groups (nutrients, salt ions, dissolved oxygen/water temperature, mixture toxicity 51 micropollutants, alteration morphological habitat quality) on three assemblages (fishes, macroinvertebrates, benthic diatoms). Biological were analyzed for 35 community metrics quantified using Random Forest (RF) analyses put into hierarchical context.

River monitoring programs worldwide consistently unveil micropollutant concentrations (pesticide, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals) exceeding regulatory quality targets with deteriorating effects on aquatic communities. However, both the composition individual of micropollutants are likely to vary catchment land use, in particular regarding urban agricultural area as primary sources micropollutants. In this study, we used a dataset 109 governmental sites monitored across Federal State North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, investigate relationship between high-resolution use (distinguishing urban, forested grassland well 22 different crop types) 39 using Linear Mixed Models (LMMs). Ecotoxicological risks were indicated for mixtures pharmaceutical chemicals 100 % pesticides 55 sites. The proportion was positively related most pharmaceuticals (R2 up 0.54), whereas proportions areas generally showed negative relations. Cropland overall weak positive relationships 0.29). Individual types, particularly vegetables permanent crops, higher relations 0.46). findings suggest that type-specific pesticide applications mirrored detected concentrations. This highlights need spatial magnitude dynamics exposure relevant pollution sources, which would remain undetected highly aggregated classifications.

Despite the global ban on organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) since 1970s, their use continues in many developing countries, including Ethiopia, primarily due to lack of viable alternatives and weak regulations. Nonetheless, extent contamination resulting environmental health consequences these countries remain inadequately understood. To address knowledge gaps, we conducted a comprehensive analysis reported concentrations (n=398) OCPs (n=30) distinct yet interconnected water matrices: water, sediment, biota Ethiopia. Our revealed notable geographical bias, with higher found sediments (0.074-1161.2 µg/kg), followed by (0.024-1003 µg/kg) (0.001-1.85 µg/L).

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are essential for maintaining a good water quality of surface waters. However, WWTPs also associated with deterioration and hydro-morphological alteration. Riverine communities respond to these stressors changes in their community structure, abundance diversity.

More specifically, analyzed effects percentage effluents (in relation median base flow) four stressor groups (physico-chemistry, micropollutants, hydrological morphological alteration) using Linear Mixed Models (LMM).
