TAPPING PESTICIDES FROM AQUATIC ENVIROMENT
Throughout agricultural technologies a series of chemical substances are used for pest-control. Among this substance, we have to notice the pesticides due to their negative impact on the aquatic ecosystem. The most dangerous pesticides are the organochlorines, because of their property to accumulate into adipose tissues. Organochlorines through their chemical composition have mutagenic and carcinogenic potency.
The paper provides several methods for tapping these substances from surface waters. One of the methods often used is using selective membranes during the process of reverse osmosis providing chemical oxidation and adsorption.
