Pesticide degradation in wetland systems intercepting agricultural runoff is often overlooked
and mixed with other dissipation processes when assessing pesticide concentrations alone …

Current approaches are often limited to evaluating the contribution of pesticide dissipation
processes in water–sediment systems as both degradation and phase transfer, that is …

Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) is a valuable tool for assessing the fate of
