The regional pesticide database contains data from regional environmental monitoring of chemical pesticides. Pesticide concentrations in water from rivers, streams, lakes, seas, groundwater, wells and waterworks have been analysed by municipalities, county administrative boards and water management associations around Sweden.
The Regional Pesticide Database was created in 1996 to try and collate results from all pesticide sampling in Swedish waters. Data in the database comes from sampling carried out between 1983 and 2016.
Data can be downloaded from Datasearch - Regional Pesticide Database (RPD).
