Abstract

Since the industrial revolution, several new chemicals were discovered and introduced in society, and soon after the green revolution, pesticides were also introduced to strengthen food security. However, limited education on their application, handling, and usage resulted in them making their way into the aquatic ecosystem. This chapter defines the different sources of pesticides, based on their point of origin and the way it transports pesticides to the aquatic systems. After this, the pesticide interaction in an aquatic environment with various organic and inorganic substances is described. Each interaction is supported with the recent researches and examples. Following pesticides sources and interactions, its fate in the aquatic system has been defined through various physical and chemical processes. Ultimately, its impact on aquatic organisms is discussed. This chapter is concluded with recommended management practices and future research directions. Some terms are also defined at the end of this chapter.
