Chemicals used by farms and factories can enter nearby waterways through runoff, leaching from soil, or improper disposal. Once in waterways, these chemicals can contaminate the water, harm aquatic life, and affect human health if consumed. Infrequent monitoring and lax regulations can exacerbate this issue.
Persistent pesticides are chemicals that remain in the environment and can accumulate over time in soil, water, and organisms. These pesticides do not easily degrade, which can lead to long-lasting environmental and health impacts. Examples include organochlorine pesticides like DDT and chlordane.
Pesticides can be made from synthetic chemicals, natural products, or a combination of both. Common synthetic pesticides are derived from chemicals like organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids, while natural pesticides can be sourced from plants (e.g., neem oil) or microbes (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis).
There isn't a single chemical equation for pesticides, as they can be composed of different active ingredients. Pesticides typically contain chemicals that target specific pests or regulate their growth. Some common types of pesticides include insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, each with their own unique chemical composition.
Pesticides that are easily broken down in the environment, have low persistence, volatility, and tendency to accumulate in living organisms are less likely to contribute to bioaccumulation. Examples include microbial pesticides, botanical pesticides, and certain biopesticides that have specific target organisms and low environmental persistence.
Land and waterways are affected by pesticides. Other than that, insects and animals that are part of the food chain can be affected.
Some of the pesticides sprayed on farm crops wash off in the rain and get into the waterways. The water plants absorb the pesticides.
Some of the substances that are polluting waterways are pesticides, mercury, dioxins, and radioactive materials. In addition to these, compounds containing hydrogen and carbon are also troublesome as are lead and chromium.

Itmight effect the fish in the water, and if we eat them, it'll effect us too. It's very bad for wildlife and humans.
There are several waterways around the UK. A few of the waterways are the West Midlands Waterways, South Wales and Severn Waterways, and the North East Waterways.
Yes pesticides are some what bad because of what they do, they kill insects. They also go threw the ground and eventually end in water making pollution... Some of the insects that the pesticides kill are actually not going to hurt the plants that the pesticides are on in the first place. that means pesticides kill and pollute, does that sound very good. Pesticides are made from chemicals, bad ones at that and poison's in poison's out.
Ones which go by land rather than waterways.
Nothing, but your boat needs to have a waterways licence.

Some of the aerosols are actually superior. For a residual product, I think I would still go "old school" with the real thing.
