Presented by: Meg Shoda, WMA Earth System Processes Division

Pesticide application on the landscape occurs frequently and on large scales. Pesticide exposure to nontarget environments, like freshwater, can have implications for human health and aquatic life. Despite recognition of the need for national-scale monitoring and analysis, few studies have documented long-term trends in surface water pesticide contamination across the US. This study addresses that need by analyzing temporal trends and acute and chronic benchmark exceedances for aquatic life and human health from 81 river sites sampled from 2013 to 2022 using an analytical method targeting 80 pesticides.
