   The European Environment Agency (EEA) has published a new indicator that tracks findings of pesticides in Europe’s rivers, lakes and groundwaters. The data, collected from EEA member countries across Europe, shows the share of water bodies where excessive levels of pesticides have been recorded from 2013 to 2019. 

  The new EEA indicator shows that levels of pesticides exceeding thresholds were measured in a quarter of all reported monitoring sites in European surface waters in 2019. From 2013 to 2019, this share varied between 13% and 30%. The share for groundwater with exceedances was considerably lower, at between 3% and 7%.  

   In the EU, pesticides are regulated on the basis of high protection goals for human health and the environment, with being authorised only after a comprehensive scientific risk assessment. Nevertheless, pesticide contamination of surface waters and groundwater can still occur and could affect aquatic fauna and flora.

Comentários

• Gabarito "Errado". A informação seguinte contida no texto contraria a informação da questão: "The share for groundwater with exceedances was considerably lower, at between 3% and 7%". Ou seja, a taxa foi baixa (lower) e não mais do que duplicou (more than doubled).

• Acredito que groundwater seja águas subterrâneas, amigo @Ricardo Dayan. A questão cita surface waters, ou seja, superficiais. Entendi que, de 2013 a 2019, esse número passou 5% a mais que o medido em 2019.
