Abstract

Pesticide use in agriculture has the potential to contaminate groundwater supplies. In reality, according to studies, only about 0.1 percent of toxins widely used in agriculture reach the target insect. At the same time, the rest enters the environment inappropriately and contaminates soil, water, and air, poisoning or harming non-target creatures. Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) were widely used when organochlorine pesticides were prohibited from using in the 1960s and 1970s due to their harmful effects. This study aimed to measure the extent of organophosphate pesticides pollution in the groundwater of the Kota region. Contaminant compounds of several organophosphate pesticides have been identified in the groundwater of the Kota region.
