- Abstract
This article presents a study which discusses various issues related to pesticide residues in water, sediment, and fish at Sparta, Illinois. It has been found in the study that pesticide use has affected the water, sediment, and fish quality of the Sparta National Guard Armory. Surface water samples in 2003 had atrazine, diazinon and parathion concentrations. Sediment and fish in the majority of the lakes and creeks sampled had evidence of historic nearby agricultural activities. Four sediment pesticide concentrations exceeded sediment quality criteria, so there may be current adverse ecological effects present at these locations.
