  1. Insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and industrial chemicals recovered via continuous sampling of rivers in urban Blantyre over a 1-year period are presented with their mean (SD) concentrations (ng.POCIS−1.day−1). Differences in the concentrations of chemicals seen at sites (1-2) or between seasons (wet-dry) have been highlighted (Mann–Whitney (site) Wilcoxon test (season) p < 0.05 [blue = site, green = season]). The distribution of chemical concentrations (ng.POCIS−1.day−1) are included in the Supplementary Information (Fig. S4a–d). Chemical metabolites = *. Chemicals where the limit of quantification ( < LOQ) was not reached as shown.
