Environmental factors influencing DDT–DDE spatial distribution in an agricultural drainage system determined by using machine learning techniques

The presence and persistence of pesticides in the environment are environmental problems of great concern due to the health implications for humans and wildlife. The persistence of DDT–DDE in a Mediterranean coastal plain where pesticides were widely used and were banned decades ago is the aim of th...
