Abstract
The aim of this stady was to investigate the quality of groundwater situated
under a topsoil where greenhouses and dropping irrigation system are used in tomato
production. A GC-MS method was applied using pulsed splitless injection with pressure
of 50 psi and purge flow to split vent of 1.5 minutes [1], for the screening of the most
friquently used pesticides such as benalaxyl, chlorpyrifos, malathion, pirimifos methyl,
methomyl, metribuzin, penconazole, triadimenol, pyrimethanil, and buprofezin. Seventy
eight groundwater samples were collected from the region of Strumica, an
agricultururally vulnerable area regarding pesticide application, during 2014 - 2015.
Slightly modified liquid-liquid extraction was performed using dichloromethane as a
solvent [2]. The obtained results show negligible pollution of groundwater with
investigated pesticides. Only 5% of investigated samples were polluted with pesticides
in concentrations which doesn’t exceed the national maximum concentration limit. The
analysis showed the presence of pyrimethanil and chlorpyrifos in maximum
concentrations of 0,0299 ± 0,00026 μg/l and 0,133 ± 0,00929 μg/l, respectively. The
main reason for this negligible pollution of groundwater with pesticides is considered to
be the use of greenhouses and the dropping irrigation system in agriculture production
which doesn’t allow high quantity of water to be able to pass from the soil surface
downward to the aquifers.
