What are persistent pesticides?
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.

How do pesticides contaminate groundwater?
Pesticides can contaminate groundwater when they are applied to fields and leach through the soil into the groundwater. Rainfall or irrigation can help move the pesticides deeper into the ground where they can reach the groundwater. Once in the groundwater, pesticides can persist for a long time and potentially impact drinking water sources.
Is using pesticides for a long time sustainable?
Using pesticides for a long time can have negative impacts on the environment such as soil degradation, water contamination, and harming non-target species. It is not considered sustainable in the long term as it can disrupt ecosystems and compromise biodiversity. Adopting integrated pest management strategies that minimize pesticide use and promote sustainable agricultural practices is a more environmentally friendly approach.
Which type of pesticide has the longest residence time in the environment?
Organochlorine pesticides, such as DDT, have been known to have a long residence time in the environment. These compounds are resistant to breaking down and can persist in soil, water, and organisms for many years, causing potential harm to ecosystems and human health.
How do persistent and non-persistent pesticides differ?
Non-persistent pesticides are compounds that break down quickly in the environment. Several different classes of pesticides make up this group: • Cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides, which includes the organophosphates and carbamates • Chlorinated phenols • Herbicides • Pyrethroids • Fungicides • Repellents Non-persistent pesticides became widely used after persistent organochlorine pesticides were banned from manufacture and use in the United States in the 1970s. Non-persistent pesticides are less harmful to the environment because they do not build up but they have to be applied more often to households and crops to be effective.
Can you use pesticides any time of the year?
Yes.
What might happen if it rains for a long period of time?
Flood
