“Environmental monitoring generally does not find chlorpyrifos, even in irrigation drainage waters with a detection limit of 0.01μg/L. Samples taken from drains in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area found occasional occurrences, generally at concentrations below 0.1 μg/L, with a few samples taken near the exit point from rice bays approaching 10μg/L. Persistent contamination occurs in certain areas during spring, notably Mirrool Creek (used as a drain) where concentrations between 0.01 and 0.1μg/L prevail through September and October with occasional high detections (approaching 20 μg/L) in grab samples.”
