A review of different removal techniques for pesticides found in European waters identified by the European Environmental Agency
The widespread use of pesticides in agriculture has led to increasing concern over the contamination of water across Europe. Although many pesticide residues are detected below the maximum residue level (MRL) set by the EU Drinking Water Directive (0.1 µg/L for single substances), several compounds have been consistently reported above these limits, indicating potential risks to both environmental and human health. In February 2024, the European Environmental Agency (EEA) identified four pesticides: imidacloprid, metolachlor, atrazine, and bentazone, as substances exceeding regulatory thresholds at a significant number of monitoring sites. Highlighting the need for new removal techniques that can trap these persistent pesticides. This review explores 94 studies from the past decade, investigating a wide range of removal methods including adsorbents and biosorbents, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), electrochemical oxidation, and biological approaches. Particular attention is given to removal performance, operational feasibility, and compliance with regulatory limits. As it stands, AOPs and electrochemical oxidation currently offer the most promising results, with several studies demonstrating complete removal of targeted pesticides, including final concentrations compliant with the EU’s MRL.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Science & Policy promotes communication among government, business and industry, academia, and non-governmental organisations who are instrumental in the solution of environmental problems. It also seeks to advance interdisciplinary research of policy relevance on environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, environmental pollution and wastes, renewable and non-renewable natural resources, sustainability, and the interactions among these issues. The journal emphasises the linkages between these environmental issues and social and economic issues such as production, transport, consumption, growth, demographic changes, well-being, and health. However, the subject coverage will not be restricted to these issues and the introduction of new dimensions will be encouraged.
