Abstract Long Description

Novel monitoring techniques are applied to evaluate short-term variability of surface water pesticide residues, complementing data obtained through the Surface Water Monitoring Program for Pesticides in Salmonid-Bearing Streams. Currently, weekly grab sampling is conducted during the typical pesticide application period to evaluate pesticide occurrence in Washington State surface waters. Detected concentrations of pesticides are interpolated between weeks to generate an exposure assessment. This project proposes to evaluate short-term variability through daily grab sampling and the use of passive samplers over a 22-day period. Results from daily, weekly, and passive sampling methods will be analyzed to evaluate the existing monitoring method and regime. Passive sampling will be conducted through the use of Semipermeable Membrane Devices for hydrophobic pesticides and Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers for hydrophilic pesticides. The study will be conducted at a current long-term monitoring site—the Lower Marion Drain, a tributary to the Lower Yakima River.
