S1 Field Measurements
S1.1 Sample Collection
Surface soil and sediment samples from the top 5 cm were collected using a metal scoop. All
samples were oven-dried at 30°C, ground, and sieved (1000 μm mesh for soils and 212 μm mesh
for sediments). Samples were stored in glass jars with metal caps, covered with aluminum foil,
and stored at -20°C until analysis.
S1.2 TOC Analysis
Approximately 100 mg of dried, pulverized sample were analyzed in a TOC-L Shimadzu Total
Organic Carbon Analyzer (2011 TOC-L v 1.03.01) with a Solid Sample Module SSM-200.
Inorganic carbonates were removed by in situ acidification with 1M HCl. The total organic
carbon in each sample was calculated as the difference between the amount of total carbon and
total inorganic carbon.
S1.3 DDX Extraction, Clean-up and Quantification
S1.3.1 Institute of Biophysics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (IBFRJ)
All glassware was pre-rinsed three times with acetone. All solvents used were of residue grade.
Approximately 3 g of dried sample were extracted in a Soxhlet apparatus over 8 h with
dichloromethane. PCB-103 and 198 were added as internal standards prior to extraction.
Potential interferents were removed by passing the extract through a glass column with a
desulfurizing agent (Na2SO3-NaOH- Al2O3 mixture, 11% H2O w/w) and eluting with n-hexane
(Japenga et al. 1987). Fractionation was performed using a glass chromatographic column
packed with Florisil at the bottom and anhydrous sodium sulfate on top. The first fraction
containing o,p’-DDE and p,p’-DDE was eluted with n-hexane. The second fraction containing
the remaining analytes was eluted with n-hexane/petroleum ether (1:1). The purified extracts
were concentrated and the recovery standard (2,4,5,6-Tetrachloro-m-xylene) was added prior to
quantification.
The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography equipped with an electron capture detector
(GC/ECD) with a 63Ni electron source (Shimadzu GC-14B and GC-2010). The GC was equipped
with a 60m fused silica capillary column coated with a cross-linked 5% phenyl-/95% dimethylpolysiloxane stationary phase. Samples were injected in splitless mode at an injector
temperature of 300°C. Hydrogen was used as a carrier gas at a flow of 35 ml/min at the septum
and 15 mL/min at the injector. Initially, the oven was kept at 110°C for 1 min, followed by a 15
°C/min increase until reaching a temperature of 170 °C. The temperature was then increased at
7.5 °C /min until 290 °C, and kept at that temperature for 10 minutes. The detector was kept at a
constant temperature of 310 °C during the analysis and nitrogen was used as a makeup gas with a
flow of 35 mL/min.

S1.3.2 Safety and Environmental Technology Laboratory, ETH Zürich
Glassware was washed in a glassware washer with detergent and immersed in an alkaline bath
(5% Potassium Hydroxide) for 12 hours and then heated to 450°C overnight. All glassware was
rinsed twice with acetone before use. All solvents used were of residue grade.
Approximately 5 g of sediment were filled into Soxhlet thimbles and spiked with 13C12-labeled
p,p’-DDT as an internal standard. Activated copper was added to remove sulfur and anhydrous
sodium sulfate to remove any humidity. Soxhlet extraction was carried out for 8 hours using nhexane/dichloromethane (1:1). Extracts were concentrated with a rotary evaporator and then
cleaned-up with silica gel chromatography (neutral silica at the bottom, and acidic on top).
Analytes were eluted with n-hexane. The eluate was reduced in volume with a rotary evaporator
first and then with a gentle stream of nitrogen. The concentrated extracts were transferred to GC
vials, and 13C6-labeled hexachlorobenzene was added as a recovery standard.
The purified samples were analyzed with a gas chromatograph (HRGC HP 5890 II, Hewlett
Packard, Palo Alto, CA, USA) coupled to an electron ionization high-resolution mass
spectrometer (Thermo Finnigan MAT95, Bremen, Germany) (GC-EI/HRMS). The GC was
equipped with an autosampler (A200S CTC Analytics, Zwingen, Switzerland). Samples were
injected in splitless mode (split closed for 1 min.) at an injector temperature of 240 °C. The GC
was equipped with a fused silica capillary column (30 m, 0.25 mm inner diameter) coated with
0.25 µm of crosslinked 5% phenyl- / 95% dimethyl-polysiloxane stationary phase (RTx-5ms,
Restek Bellefonte, PA, USA). Helium was used as a carrier gas at a constant pressure of 150
kPa. The temperature program started at 110 °C, was held for 1 min, increased to 140°C at
10°C/min, then increased to 226 °C at 2.2°C/min, and finally increased to 300°C at 20°C/min.
The transfer line temperature remained constant at 290°C. The ion source was operated at 180
°C, the electron energy was 70 eV, and the HRMS was tuned to a mass resolution of at least
10,000.
For all compounds the two most abundant signals of the fragment ion clusters were recorded,
including [M-CCl3]+ for DDT (native DDT: m/z 235.0076/237.0046 u/e; 13C12-labeled DDT:
247.0478/249.0449 u/e), [M-CHCl2]+ for DDD (235.0076/237.0046 u/e), and [M-CCl2]+ for
DDE (245.9997571/247.996807 u/e).
S1.4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control
All samples were analyzed in duplicate or triplicate, when the sample amount was sufficient. A
blank was analyzed in parallel to each batch of 4-5 samples. For the blanks, Soxhlet extractions
were carried out with thimbles containing copper and sodium sulfate only, and the blank extracts
were processed exactly as the field sample extracts. The limit of detection for each target analyte
was calculated as two times the standard deviation of two analytical blanks, considering a typical
sample amount of 5 g.

S2.1 Description of Flooding
Fig. S1 Map of Puruzinho from the Program for the Estimation of Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (PRODES
2014). The lake flows from the Puruzinho River into the Madeira River and is additionally fed by two tributaries:
Igarapé Onça and Igarapé Crato.
It is assumed that at the minimum water level, the shape of the water compartment is a rectangle
with an area calculated from the PRODES map, shown in Fig. S1. Since the floodplain soil is
sloped, the cross-section of the water body above the minimum water level is modeled as an
isosceles trapezoid, whose legs represent the floodplain. The width of the flooded floodplain is
calculated by assuming that the difference between the maximum water level and the current
water level is proportional to the difference between the maximum floodplain width and the
width of the currently flooded soil (Fig. S2). Thus, based on the daily water level measurements,
the cross-sectional area of the water body is calculated and multiplied by the length of the lake to
obtain the daily water volume. The width of the aerated floodplain soil is then the difference
between the maximum floodplain width and the currently flooded width. The widths of the
aerated and flooded components of the floodplain soil can then be multiplied by the length of the
lake to calculate the variable areas of the flooded and aerated floodplain soils.
S4
Fig. S2 Diagram showing a cross-section of the lake. At time t, if the water level is above the minimum, a fraction
of the floodplain width is flooded, while the rest is aerated. When the maximum water level is reached, the entire
floodplain is flooded.
S2.2 Water Level and Rainfall
The water levels measured in Puruzinho from 2011-2013 are shown in Fig. S3. A characteristic
lag is observed between the rainfall and the water level, suggesting that water level changes are
driven by regional precipitation. This delay describes a long-lasting flood pulse of low
amplitude, typical of shallow lakes in South American lowlands (Junk and Piedade 2011). A
comparison of water volumes calculated with and without the contribution of direct precipitation
to the daily water levels revealed that the influence of direct precipitation on the overall change
in water volume is insignificant, accounting for less than 0.1 percent of the volume change.
Tributary discharge into Lake Puruzinho results from the collection of rain over a larger drainage
area. Thus, while direct, local precipitation does not contribute significantly to the change in the
volume of Lake Puruzinho, regional precipitation drives the floodplain dynamics.

Puruzinho (green).

S2.3 Calculation of Degradation Half-lives in Sediments
The majority of reported degradation rates for DDT and its transformation products are for nonflooded soils. Almost no measurements are available for degradation rates in sediments under
tropical conditions, and those available for temperate conditions span large ranges. Therefore we
used data on studies comparing degradation rates in flooded and non-flooded tropical and subtropical soils in order to estimate DDT degradation rates in sediments. DDT dissipation half-lives
in flooded and non-flooded soils derived from microcosm and field studies carried out in tropical
regions (Castro and Yoshida 1971; Samuel and Pillai 1988; Xu et al. 1994), assuming first order
kinetics, are summarized in Table S2. It can be observed that the dissipation half-life is shorter
under flooded than under non-flooded conditions. Thus, in the model we used a ratio to describe
how much faster degradation was under flooded conditions in the sediment and the flooded
floodplain compared to the terra-firme soil, which is not flooded. This ratio was calculated by
taking the geometric mean of the ratio of dissipation half-lives in flooded vs. non-flooded soil
(Table S2).
The dissipation half-lives reported represented not only losses through degradation but also
through volatilization and leaching. The latter has been observed to be negligible in field DDT
dissipation studies in the tropics (Enan 1988; Espinosa‐González et al. 1994; Hussain et al. 1988;
Samuel and Pillai 1988; Tayaputch 1988; Zayed et al. 1994), and is irrelevant in microcosm
studies. However, not enough data to discretize the contribution of different loss processes to
dissipation, and hence calculate the degradation half-life, were available for all studies.
Therefore, to account for potentially over-estimating degradation rates by using the dissipation
half-life as a proxy of the degradation half-life, the assumption that degradation in sediments is
the same as in soils (1025 days) was also included in the calculation of the geometric mean of the
degradation ratio between non-flooded and flooded soils.

S2.4 Model Equations
A detailed description of models using the fugacity approach is presented in Mackay 2001. In
brief, the environment is divided into a number of well-mixed compartments (boxes) with
homogeneous environmental properties linked by inter-compartmental transfer processes. The
concentration of a chemical in a compartment is the product of the fugacity and the bulk fugacity
capacity (Z) of that compartment. Z values describe equilibrium partitioning between phases.
Fugacity, which is the partial pressure of a chemical in a phase, describes the escaping tendency
of a chemical from a particular phase. The transfer rate of a chemical from one phase to another
is driven by the fugacity difference between these phases (Mackay 2001). Based on these
concepts, the change in the amount (M) of chemical over time (t) can be described as:
𝑑𝑀
𝑀
=𝐸+π·βˆ™
𝑑𝑑
π‘‰βˆ™π‘
where M, V, E, and Z are vectors with the masses, volumes, emissions, and bulk fugacity
capacities of each compartment, respectively. For DDT, the emissions term refers to direct
emissions from IRS. For DDE and DDD, the emissions term refers to their formation from the
degradation of DDT, described by a D-value (see Table S5). D is a matrix in which the rows and
columns represent the compartments, the diagonal contains the permanent losses from each
compartment, and the off-diagonal terms represent inter-compartmental processes. Each of these
processes is described by a first-order rate constant or by a mass transfer coefficient. The
parameters and equations used to derive fugacity capacities and D-values are shown in Tables
S3, S4, and S5. Except for the organic carbon content and the dimensions (given in Table S4),
the flooded floodplain soil was parameterized in the same way as the sediment, while the aerated
floodplain was parameterized in the same way as the terra-firme soil. Therefore, the chemical
properties, and the equations for the fugacity capacities and D-values assigned to the terra-firme
soil and sediment also apply to the aerated and flooded floodplain, respectively (however, the
organic carbon contents and the dimensions specific to the flooded and aerated floodplains are
used in the calculation of Z and D-values).

S3.3 Sensitivity Analysis
Fig. S7 Spearman rank correlation coefficients for the 5 parameters with the largest contribution to variance to p,p’DDT concentrations in the air 7 years before (a) and after (b) the ban on DDT use for IRS in Brazil.
Air
In pre-ban years, at the peak of the rainy season, when water levels are the highest, aerosol
concentrations and rain make a small contribution to the variance of DDT concentrations in the
air. In all seasons before the ban, DDT concentrations in the air are more strongly negatively
correlated with wind. This correlation decreases after the ban, and instead, DDT in air becomes
increasingly sensitive to the Kow and the degradation half-life in the soil, as the soil is the main
source of DDT after direct emissions cease. The same pattern is observed with the DDT
S15
degradation products. However, the parameter with the largest contribution to the variance of
DDE and DDD concentrations was the air-water partition coefficient (Kaw), with a large positive
r in both pre- and post-ban years.
Water
While emissions are ongoing, there is a high negative rank correlation between Kow and the
settling velocity of suspended particles in the water and DDT concentrations in the water. Kow is
the most influential parameter for DDE and DDD concentrations in the water as well. The Kow
dictates the partitioning of DDX into the organic carbon of solids, including suspended particles
that are afterwards deposited into the sediments. Sediment burial also has a significant negative
correlation with DDX concentrations in the water, particularly for DDE. In addition, DDE
concentrations are positively influenced by the concentration of suspended particles in the water.
Furthermore, the degradation half-life in sediments is also moderately negatively correlated to
the concentrations of DDE and DDD. After the ban, the contribution of Kow to the variance of
DDX concentrations in the water decreases, mostly for DDE and DDT. The degradation half-life
in the terra-firme soil becomes the most influential parameter, with a large negative r, for DDE
and DDT, and the second most influential parameter for DDD (as Kow remains the parameter
with the largest contribution to variance). This is not surprising since most of the DDX
accumulation occurs in the terra-firme soil and this compartment represents the main source of
DDX for the water after the ban. Sediment burial and particle settling velocities have a lower
negative contribution to variance of DDX concentrations in the water after emissions cease.
Fig. S8 Spearman rank correlation coefficients for the 5 parameters with the largest contribution to variance to p,p’DDT concentrations in the water 7 years before (a) and after (b) the ban on DDT use for IRS in Brazil.
S16
Floodplain
Similar rank correlations are observed in the flooded and aerated floodplain soils, due to the
close interactions between these compartments. The degradation half-life in the sediment was the
most important parameter throughout the model run for concentrations of all compounds in the
floodplain, followed by the degradation half-life in terra-firme soils (whose influence increases
after the ban), both with a negative r. In the pre-ban years, the Kow also made a moderate positive
contribution to the variance of DDT concentrations in floodplain soils, while the fractions of
formation made a moderate positive contribution to the variance of DDE and DDD
concentrations.
Fig. S9 Spearman rank correlation coefficients for the 5 parameters with the largest contribution to variance to p,p’DDT concentrations in the floodplain 7 years before (a) and after (b) the ban on DDT use for IRS in Brazil.
Terra-firme soil
In the terra-firme soil, the single highest rank correlation (negative) throughout the simulation is
that between each compounds and its degradation half-life in the soil. The fractions of formation
also made a moderate contribution (positive) to the variance of DDD and DDE concentrations,
particularly before the ban. The sensitivity of DDX concentrations in the terra-firme soil to other
parameters is very low.
