Abstract(s)
Recent changes in agricultural practices during the last 20th century have significantly
contributed to increase the concentrations of pollutant substances is water, soil and air.
Groundwater is a valuable natural resource and as such should be protected from deterioration
and chemical pollution. A monitoring program of nitrate, nitrite, potassium, sodium and 28
pesticides was carried out in water samples from an intensive horticulture area in a vulnerable
zone from North of Portugal. Eight collecting points were selected and water analyzed in five
sampling campaigns, during one year.
