Description
Summary:Wood and Anthony (1997) investigated herbicide leaching using a series of natural springs draining small surficial aquifers. The herbicides were detected at the level of nanograms per liter. Monitoring herbicides in Recharge Lake in York, Nebraska, was performed. Herbicide concentrations rose rapidly in the spring and diminished gradually over a few months. Atrazine half-life was determined to be approximately 223 days. Sancho et al. (1997) reported that the insecticide fenitrothion showed a strong tendency to bioconcentrate into the brain of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla). Herbicide contamination of shallow groundwater beneath claypan soils was studied. Spatial variability was determined to be larger than the effects of atrazine and alachlor application rates. Atrazine and alachlor were detected in 7.2 and 0.4%, respectively, of the samples taken from approximately 75 monitoring wells.
