Join us as we showcase The Pesticide Detectives Program.

We thank all of our participants including our project partners for participating and collecting sediment despite fires, floods, and COVID-19 restrictions!

Pesticide Detectives is an Australia-wide citizen science project assessing concentrations of pesticides in sediment from waterways surrounding various land uses. Citizen scientists collected sediment from 240 sites over four sampling events across Australia from April 2019 to July 2020. Forty-eight groups and over a hundred participants were involved in this project. The analysis of sediment samples involved a pesticide screen of 110 different types of pesticides!

In this Webinar, we will share and discuss the results of our sediment collection and celebrate the fantastic effort of all our volunteers, without which this project wouldn't have been possible.
