Study of Pesticides in Groundwater

The study of pesticides in groundwater involves analyzing how chemicals used in agriculture, like herbicides and insecticides, may seep into underground water sources. This research helps determine if pesticide levels are safe for drinking water and the environment. Scientists collect and test water samples to identify and measure pesticide residues, assessing potential health risks and guiding regulations to protect public health and ecosystems. Understanding this helps balance agricultural practices with maintaining clean, safe groundwater supplies.
