The results showed the presence of pesticide residues in bore water, as well as in the MC supply water. A total of seven pesticides were detected in these water samples, but ethion was not among those detected in the samples. Among the different groups of pesticides, OP pesticides were present in the range of 0.002–0.768gL−1 with maximum concentrations for triazofos (0.768gL−1) and metribuzin (2.51gL−1) in their respective groups (Table 6). Almost 100% of the samples showed the presence of…
