Currently used pesticides and their mixtures : what are the risks to non-target aquatic organisms? Laboratory and in situ approaches.
Pesticides have enabled humankind to protect its crops from pests, intensifying thus the crop yields to sustain the growing population. However, pesticides often end up in aquatic water bodies, e.g. via field runoff, where they may harm non-target organisms. The environmental concentrations of pesti...

Pesticides have enabled humankind to protect its crops from pests, intensifying thus the crop yields to sustain the growing population. However, pesticides often end up in aquatic water bodies, e.g. via field runoff, where they may harm non-target organisms. The environmental concentrations of pesticides are often considered safe for aquatic ecosystems although they might induce sublethal changes in exposed organisms. Moreover, the organisms are generally not dealing with only one pesticide issued from a nearby field but with a complex mixture of various chemical compounds, interacting amongst themselves, and creating a toxic cocktail with unknown and hardly predictable impacts. These compounds, each with different environmental fate, eventually degrade and form more or less toxic and persistent metabolites aggravating the complexity of the mixtures.This dissertation thesis summarizes the state-of-the-art in pesticide mixture toxicity research and is composed of five research articles dealing with sublethal effects of selected pesticides on non-target aquatic species.
