In the project, 30 small standing waters in Germany (Brandenburg) and 30 small standing waters in Spain (Catalonia) are being investigated with regard to the concentrations of pesticides in surface water and zooplankton. The aim is to compare the range of pesticide concentrations in zooplankton and water in small water bodies in order to validate the use of zooplankton as a suitable tracer for pesticide contamination in small water bodies. Several advantages of analyzing pesticides in zooplankton instead of in water will be demonstrated.
