Abstract Background Pesticide contamination in aquatic ecosystems due to intensive agriculture poses significant health risks communities reliant on fish as a dietary staple. In northern Ghana, where drives high pesticide use, residues from application persist water bodies. Libga and Builpela reservoirs, important for local livelihoods sources are exposed agricultural effluents. Despite their importance, limited data exist these nor have the associated surrounding been quantified. Persistent pesticides of particular concern. This study assessed human Clarias (C.) anguillaris (African catfish) Oreochromis (O.) niloticus (Nile tilapia) reservoirs which receive substantial runoff. Methods Fish samples both were analysed 42 using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Lifetime cancer risk, hazard quotient, ratio computed evaluate linked consumption. Two species fish, anguilaris , tested contamination. Results Four detected: pirimiphos-methyl, chlorpyriphos, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDD. exhibited higher organophosphate levels with pirimiphos-methyl: showing highest concentration at 0.05 ± 0.02 mg/kg 0.04 0.00 reservoir. showed elevated organochlorines (p,p'-DDD DDD: 0.03 0.01 mg/kg). Organochlorines dominated load (55–60%), p,p'-DDE contributing 27.9% total. The quotient indicated little adverse impacts. However, cumulative LCR values p,p'-DDD potential lifetime chronic exposure. Conclusions our study, though short-term consumption minimal non-carcinogenic risks, consuming C. O. long-term intake may elevate persistent organochlorines. Regular monitoring, public advisories, stricter regulations necessary mitigate protect vulnerable Ghana.

Pesticides are chemicals used to enhance crop production. However, their residues can persist and accumulate in various environmental settings. This study assessed the occurrence of pesticide ecological risks surface water sediment from Libga Builpela dams northern Ghana. A total 42 pesticides were analysed. Toxic units assess acute risk sediment-dwelling organisms aquatic biota. Risk quotients employed chronic organisms. Chlorpyrifos, atrazine, profenofos, chlorfenvinphos main found water. The concentrations highest near dam (0.413μg/L, 2.927μg/L, 0.304μg/L, 0.692μg/L, 0.073μg/L, 0.290μg/L, 0.06μg/L, absent dam). In sediment, organophosphates pyrimiphos-methyl chlorpyrifos at high concentrations. They higher quantities (0.554mg/kg 0.052mg/kg, respectively) (0.051mg/kg 0.043mg/kg, respectively). For organochlorines, p,p’-DDE p,p’-DDD detected for than p,p’-DDE. Additionally, atrazine this study. toxic showed a that live as result chlorpyrifosfos residues. Similarly, pirimiphos-methyl chlorfenvinphos, followed by chlorpyrifos, contributed invertebrates. both had long-term life; however, was due Pirimiphos-methyl Chlorfenvinphos. Ghana’s regulations less comprehensive enforcement is often weaker protecting It recommended enforce strict limits on there need regularly review update these based new scientific data protect ecosystems.
