• Description:
  The pilot study for this project had the following objectives: identify suitable site, matrices, and pesticide tracers; establish standard operating procedures (SOPs); conduct multiple spray trials to test whether different tracers can be collected on a single sampling matrix; validate inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as analytical method for tracers. This project had the following preliminary findings: new pipe cleaners effective as samplers; differences between two spray technologies not striking at first glance; results require further analysis; real-time size selective sampling should help to better understand pesticide drift.
