Topics: Water and marine environment

This map shows - for those countries that have reported data to the EEA – which of the triazine group of pesticides have been found in recent years in groundwater, on at least one sampling occasion, at a concentration greater than 0.1 µg/L, the standard under both the Groundwater and Drinking Water Directives. The data does not reflect the frequency with which the threshold has been exceeded.

Metadata

Methodology:

The fading out of the countries is based on field "TRIAZINES" with this key:

2 - country reported (please change wording to Reported)

1 - country did not reported (please change wording to Not Reported)

0 - country does not report via Eionet

Values 0 and 1 were drawn as "not reported" in the figure.

The pie charts are based on fields:

ATR = atrazine

DIDATR = desisopropyldesethylatrazine

DATR = desethylatrazine

DIATR = desisopropylatrazine

HATR = hydroxyatrazine

SIM = simazine

TERB = terbuthylazine

Additional information

Data are sourced from Eionet-Water and in the case of Denmark supplemented by information from the Danish national groundwater monitoring program (1989-2007) and the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. Data from Switzerland is provided but for no substance has a concentration greater than 0.1 µg/L been recorded.
