Pesticide transformation products: a potential new source of interest for drinking water.

ABSTRACT: Pesticide transformation products (TPs) are frequently quantified in aquatic systems, including surface and groundwater. They often present higher polarity than parent compounds, are less volatile and less biodegradable and are therefore more mobile and persistent. These properties make them compounds of main interest in water resources and drinking water. With more than 600 samples collected over two years and nearly 100,000 results available, this study was carried out to evaluate the occurrence of 157 pesticide TPs and certain active substances in raw and drinking water in France. Our study made it possible to assess the potential exposure of the population to pesticides and their metabolites through drinking water consumption and finally to put forward new TPs of interest for the monit
