Question

Pesticides are only found in rural watersheds associated with farming and agriculture.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Pesticides are mainly used in large-scale agriculture and livestock activities. In these locations, basins are most commonly associated with pesticide pollution. However, remnants of pesticides are found everywhere, in water, even in urban areas. This is, of course, a concern for public health and the environment.

Answer 2

The answer is false, because pesticides are also found in urban watersheds due to the use of these chemicals on lawns.
