All concentrations <strong>of</strong> the 13 pesticides in 2000-2009 were less thanthe standard and guideline values. Dichlorvos, simazine, propyzamide,chlorothalonil, isoxathion, chlornitr<strong>of</strong>en were detected at very low frequency or notat all. On the other hand, fenobucarb, diazinon, iprobenfos, fenitrothion andisoprothiolane were detected at relatively high frequency.Yearly changes in the concentrations <strong>of</strong> iprobenfos and isoprothiolane in Lake Biwawater and those in their shipment amounts in Shiga Prefecture are shown in Figs. 12and 13, respectively, as example data. In 2000-2009, the concentrations <strong>of</strong>iprobenfos and isoprothiolane decreased according to the decrease <strong>of</strong> their shipmentamounts in the two sites (4A and 6B) and the four sites (4A, 6B, 13C and 17A),respectively.<strong>Academy</strong><strong>Publish</strong>.org - <strong>The</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pesticides</strong>273
