Pesticides in rivers

<p>This indicator measures the share of reported waterbodies with pesticides exceeding thresholds based on Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) for the toxicity of the pesticides measured. Pesticides include both active substances from plant protection products and biocides as well as their relevant metabolites, thereby reflecting the substances actually present in the water and affecting aquatic life. The data used in the indicator are provided by EEA member countries, mostly on a voluntary basis. Only substances with a defined EQS are included.</p>
