For reporting purposes, a short list of pesticides as well as total pesticides was agreed between European Commission and Member States:
- Atrazine CAS 1912-24-9
- Atrazine-Desethyl CAS 6190-65-4
- Bentazon CAS 25057-89-0
- Bromacil CAS 314-40-9
- Diuron CAS 330-54-1
- Isoproturon CAS 34123-59-6
- MCPA CAS 94-74-6
- Mecoprop CAS 93-65-2, former CAS 7085-19-0
- Pesticides total (this parameter includes also other national monitored pesticides beside the short list)
- Simazine CAS 122-34-9
- S-Metolachlor CAS 87392-12-9
- Terbutylatrazine CAS 5915-41-3
The short list is a harmonised approach and makes reporting comparable but does not show the full picture of all pesticides and all relevant metabolites in a country. Member States monitor a considerable number of pesticides and metabolites (degradation and reaction products) in drinking water that are chosen at national level and are thus specific for each Member State. However, only those pesticides that are likely to be present in a given supply need to be monitored.

Typo - bentazone, appears in other sections also
lists S-metolachlor
S-metolachlor is a optical isomer that is not analysed, just melolachlor is usually analysed (mixture of optical isomers), in order to analyse S-metolachlor a special chiral analysis must be utilised to distinguish optical isomers. I would put an appropriate remark in the text at least or change S-metolachlor to metolachlor in order to keep consistent substance naming throughout the whole report (other chapters use metolachlor)
