Bijensterfte, oorzaken en gevolgen

Aiming to evaluate the contamination of groundwater by pesticides in cotton growing areas, an SPE-based method (styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer - SDVB) was developed for the simultaneous determination of twelve pesticides in water by HPLC/DAD. The method was validated and average recoveries ranged from 73 to 113%, with a relative standard deviation of 2 to 16%. Detection limits ranged from 0.06 to 0.57 μg L-1. The method was applied to groundwater samples (110) from cotton fields located in “Primavera do Leste”, Mato Grosso state, Brazil.
