Organochlorine Pesticides in Karst Soil: Levels, Distribution, and Source Diagnosis
Excessive reclamation and improper use of agrochemicals in karst areas leads to serious non-point source pollution, which is of great concern and needs to be controlled, since contaminants can easily pollute groundwater due to the thin patchy soil and developed karst structures. The occurrences of o...
