Pesticides in Swiss streams: much remains to be done Current studies shed light on which pesticides are particularly relevant for the pollution of Swiss watercourses and where they come from. 

Three recent studies examine pesticide pollution in Swiss streams and rivers. With comprehensive screening of over 250 pesticides, they show which of them occur in water bodies and which pose the highest risks to aquatic organisms 💧
