Investigation of contamination of phosphorus pesticides in the groundwater of Varamin Plain
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
Worldwide, insects and pests, including those that are less sustainable in the environment, are causing millions of dollars of damage to crops every year.Usually, after spraying and granulation in agricultural fields, residual pests after seasonal rainfall or irrigation will enter the water resources, including surface water and underground water.The most important pollutants of groundwater are pesticides. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the contamination of phosphorus pesticides in the groundwater of Varamin Plain. In this research, library studies have been used to collect information. The statistical population consisted of all waters in the aquifer of Varamin plain and systematic sampling from this community, thus, six wells were selected as stations in different areas of Varamin plain. SPSS 20.0 was used to analyze the statistical data and Microsoft Excel 2014 software was used to plot the graphs. Also, spatial analysis was done through ILWIS and Arc GIS software. The results showed that the residual phosphorus levels such as Dichlorvos and Dursban in the Varamin plain aquifer (WHO standard) were higher than other standard pesticides.
