N2 - A research has been undertaken studying pesticide losses from areas with intense agricultural and horticultural productions such as vegetables, cotton, pot plants and flowers, taking grab and composite samples including using passive SPMD samplers in ditches, creeks, rivers and groundwater, in addition to greenhouse and imported products. Pesticides were frequently found, occasionally in high concentrations, both in the products and in the environment. Endosulfan could be detected in the products, in pot soil and in plants, and also in the water samples, even in areas where it has been banned for several decades. Dilute concentrations of endosulfan can be detected by using passive samplers.
