The aim of investigations was monitoring of herbicidal pollution in ground and surface water on arable areas. The investigations were conducted in the years 2000-2002. The samples were collected (from stationary points located in the south-west Poland) twice a year (in spring and autumn about 3-6 weeks after nominal term of herbicide application). Surface water was sampled in 27 points and ground water in 18 wells. The residues of herbicide active ingredients (triazine and phenoxy acids) were determined using HPLC methods with UV detection and GLC method with ECD detection. The residues of active compounds in surface water (in spring and autumn) were detected. Residues at concentrations exceeding the EU safety standards were detected most frequently in springtime. The contamination levels in excess admissible limits were found in ca. 15% of surface water samples. In ground water (from wells) residues were detected sporadically and its level was very low (ca. 0.01- 0.1 mg=dm").}, type={Article}, title={Monitoring of herbicidal pollution in ground and surface water on arable land of south-west Poland}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/130890/PDF-MASTER/9_PLANT_43_3_2003_Sadowski_Monitoring.pdf}, keywords={water contaminations, herbicide, water monitoring, residues, HPLC, triazine, phenoxy acid derivatives}, }
