agricultural chemical spray drift, this affects the food, health and environment of everywhere
if the vegetation is showing us that herbicides are travelling a long distance from where they're being applied, then that means that fungicides and pesticides are doing the same.

Re: champion is blowing whistle
The problem is not the pesticides or herbicides , it's dickheads not applying them correctly. Using planes and even drones you will always get drift. Farming is intensive hard work and the call for cheap produce has caused problems. Same with inorganic fertilizer people pile it on destroying the soil and water sources. .the public demand cheap products that have lead to farmers taking shortcuts. In the end its all about money.

I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

It is well known not only in Agriculture Circles but also in Forestry and even in the lowly garden what one person does to either enrich the soil or to eradicate pests, can and will travel, entering the water table at varying levels, poisoning the flora and fauna as well as denying native species ( including the fish ) food sources.
Now how to change it back is as difficult considering the dominant species always requiring GOOD CHEAP food . It has led to Factory farming , overuse of many many items that poison the land plus dare I say it land that used to be used to grow now a NEW HOUSING ESTATE /BUSINESS PARK covering the land with concrete etc.
The answer I do not have a clue , but I am sure people are working on it including more use of the SEAS to assist in providing food for domestic consumption.
