Résumé
Pesticides were applied to over 10,516 square kilometres of Quebec in 2006, or 49 percent more than in 1996 (Statistics Canada, 2006). These consisted mainly of herbicides. The St. Lawrence River, especially Lake Saint-Pierre, is vulnerable to contamination by pesticides because several tributaries draining farming areas empty into it. This is the case for the Nicolet, Saint-François and Yamaska rivers, situated south of Lake Saint-Pierre, where land is used for large scale agricultural production.
