Abstract
This study highlights the impact of hydrometeorological extreme events on pesticide contamination in surface and groundwater resources in Ireland and Denmark. Using passive and grab sampling, the study compares pesticide levels before, during, and after such events. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by LC-MS quantification will be used to analyze target pesticides. Passive sampling, a cost-effective and time-integrated technique, allows for better detection of episodic contamination events. The findings aim to improve understanding of how climate change-driven weather extremes influence pesticide loads in the water bodies. This research could enhance monitoring strategies for water quality management in the face of climate change.
