Insecticide Runoff & Aquatic Bioaccumulation

Interactive 3D model of insecticide fate and transport: a field application washes into a stream, degrades by first-order kinetics, is optionally treated by a GAC filter, and bioaccumulates up an algae → invertebrate → fish food chain.

Environmental Toxicology & Exposome3DModerate60 FPS

This simulator follows an insecticide from field application through to a fish at the top of a stream food chain. Choose a compound class — neonicotinoid, pyrethroid or organophosphate — set the application rate and a rainfall intensity, and watch particles wash off the field into a modelled stream, decaying by first-order kinetics along the way. Switch on a downstream granular-activated-carbon treatment zone to see how much load it strips out before the water reaches biota, and track live concentrations bioaccumulating up an algae → invertebrate → fish chain using standard bioconcentration factors.

⚙ Under the hood

Model how an applied insecticide degrades in soil, washes into a stream by rain-driven runoff, is optionally stripped by a GAC treatment filter, and bioaccumulates up an algae-invertebrate-fish food chain via steady-state bioconcentration factors.
