Description
Low concentrations (ng/L to μg/L range) of many different pesticides are present in Alberta surface waters. The environmental significance of the presence of low levels of pesticides is unclear particularly because water quality guidelines (if available) apply only to single compounds and not mixtures. The objective was to assess the toxicity of pesticide mixtures to species representative of major trophic levels in aquatic systems. Pesticides were selected based on the frequency of detection in Alberta surface waters, relative concentration, and availability of information (toxicity data).
