The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks started the Multi-Media Monitoring Study in 2015, in support of Ontario's Pollinator Health Action
Plan, to measure changes in neonicotinoid insecticide concentrations in the
environment following restrictions on the use of neonicotinoid-treated corn
and soybean seeds.
This data characterizes neonicotinoid concentrations in soil at 38 study sites
in five southern Ontario watersheds.
The other components of the Multi-Media Monitoring Study (stream water
neonicotinoid concentrations and benthic invertebrate data) are available
separately.
