| Tiivistelmä: | The article presents a geographic information system (GIS) model-based approach for analysis of potential contamination of soil and water by pyrethroids for the European continent. It is performs an assessment exercise that demonstrates how accessible information and GIS-based modeling allow to estimate the spatial distribution of chemical concentrations and fluxes at a screening level as well as by combining information on pesticide use, crop distribution and landscape and climate parameters they identify potential problem areas to help focusing monitoring campaigns. The author argues the approach is simple and fast, and can be applied to virtually all pesticide classes used over a large domain, and is therefore suitable for the screening of large quantities of chemicals, of which the majority has not undergone any systematic environmental monitoring program. |
