Flow diagram depicting Scenario 2/the “worst case scenario” presented by Anthe et al. [1], illustrating the daily flow of imidacloprid, resulting from bathing dogs, through a standard STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) serving a human population of 10,000 people. Square brackets indicate amount of imidacloprid in grams and percentage of total imidacloprid applied per day. *Calculated from Anthe et al. Eq. (12) and Table 1. Fsim = fraction of dogs bathed per day (simultaneity factor), Fwashing = emission fraction of imidacloprid released due to bathing. Fsim and Fwashing from Anthe et al. [1]
