4.4.1 C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
In a number of analyses, pesticides have been detected in soil water <strong>and</strong><br />
drain water <str<strong>on</strong>g>from</str<strong>on</strong>g> fields that have been treated with pesticides. In <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
analyses described, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>re is informati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>cerning <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> use of pesticides<br />
<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fields in several projects, while for a few localities, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> figures<br />
cover <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> catchment area in general, <strong>and</strong> it is not possible to dem<strong>on</strong>strate<br />
a relati<strong>on</strong>ship between dosage <strong>and</strong> detecti<strong>on</strong>s for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> individual field.<br />
With <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> available data it is not deemed warranted to draw c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s
