A survey was conducted in several Ecuadorian banana plantations to determine the actual pesticide management and their environmental impacts. It was detected that glyphosate, propiconazole, imazalil, tridemorph and imazalil are the pesticides most used in the Ecuadorian banana sector. As a first step, two screening models (EQC and EXAMS) were used to determine the overall distribution of these pesticides in a unitary environment. Whereas EQC evaluates soil, water, sediment and air compartments, EXAMS only takes into account water and sediment compartments. Although both models show different results due to their different approaches, a comparison can still be done considering only the aquatic portion of the unitary environment. For the case study presented here, all 5 pesticides tend to affect more the soil and water compartment.
在厄瓜多尔的几个香蕉种植园进行了一项调查，以确定实际的农药管理情况及其对环境的影响。结果发现，草甘膦、丙环唑、抑霉唑、十三吗啉和抑霉唑是厄瓜多尔香蕉种植行业使用最多的农药。作为第一步，使用了两种筛选模型（EQC和EXAMS）来确定这些农药在单一环境中的总体分布。EQC评估土壤、水、沉积物和空气部分，而EXAMS只考虑水和沉积物部分。尽管由于方法不同，两个模型显示出不同的结果，但仍可以仅考虑单一环境的水生部分进行比较。对于此处介绍的案例研究，所有5种农药往往对土壤和水部分的影响更大。
