What classical examples in the literature of contamination by agrochemical, herbicide, fungicide, insecticide and pesticide residues in groundwater in agriculture?
Organochlorine or organofluorine pesticides e.g. DDT which is prohibited when used on farmlands due to their non-degradable nature contaminate groundwater which when drunk had resulted to yellowing of teeth (fluorosis) in some poverty stricken communities in Africa.

Do you know any scientific articles on the subject of DDT in Africa? I have an interest in reading it.
Pesticides residues of those insecticides ,fungicides and herbicides Which are highly dissolved in water particularly carbamate compounds and their metabolites such as aldicarb, methomyl ,aldixicarb and other oxime compounds , are easily can be leached deeply to ground water particularly which are near in to the surface .
Pesticides residues of those insecticides and fungicides Which are with low soluble in water particularly chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds DDT(p,pDDT,DDE, DDD) , cyclodines ,( endrin ,dieldren ,aldrin ), Hexachlorobenzene (lindene isomers ) and their metabolites ,they do not move down deeply in the ground just near the surface ,but they contaminate cultivated and eaten roots.In case of reaching running water they drop down catching the sediments ,sands and small stones Salam and best wishes .
I have a scientitic work which is yet to be published on DDT found in vegetables above permissible limits. A survey carried out on the farmland where the vegetables were grown indicated the last time DDT was applied on the farmland was over 15 years ago. If interested I can send that aspect of the entire for you to go through showing results obtained and discussion
Thank you Dr. Tawfiq M. Al Antary
Are there any free scientific articles or books that corroborate with your text? Could you send link for access?
Salaam Aleikum!

Dr. Valentine Mbatchou do you have a book or scientific article already published and with free access by the world wide web?

Hello Dr Fillo,you can check my research gate .You wil find lot of pesticide residue papers about DDT,PESTICIDES IN SOIL AND OTHERS.Best regards .
What is the virtual address (homepage) of your portal Dr. Tawfiq M. Al Antary ?
Hi,
With a simple search in web, u can find many articles, also, the most well know, DDT, Dilderin and Aldrin

As a research project in the two main Brazilian aquifers and in the interior of the Amazon, all knowledge about the potential contaminants of groundwater, as well as case studies, especially scientific articles, are warmly welcomed to enrich our bibliographic base in this very important research area.

Here is a paper on groundwater monitoring from Norway, much colder....
Congratulations on the excellent study Dr. Ketil Haarstad Is Very Very Good!!
It is an important reference for cold countries, but also, for the world.
Thank you!

It is a fruitful scientific discussion about contamination of pesticide residues in ground water.
Your contributions are also very very valuable Dr Tawfiq M. Al Antary .
Thanks and Regards!
Dear Md. Saiful Islam
Very important study report in article. 15 year is long temporal serie of monitoring in groundwater quality.
Thanks! and Regards!
It is up to us humans to take care of the environment, which is us. This includes groundwater and our food.

Dear Dra Samaneh Mahmoudvand
I study groundwater at a more comprehensive level. I do not study a specific contaminant. We do not have equipment for this here. We usually use data collected by other researchers. But we are aware of the allowable levels of pesticide in drinking water, especially groundwater. Legislation that sets parameters for pesticides as well as other contaminants in waters are: Ministry of Health (MS) and National Environment Council (CONAMA)
Do you study any in particular? Do you have any place to do in relation to this problem?
You will always be welcome.
Best Regard!
Abs!
