The direct impacts of climate change involve a multitude phenomena, including rising sea levels, intensified severe weather events such as droughts and flooding, increased temperatures leading to wildfires, unpredictable fluctuations in rainfall. This comprehensive review intends examine firstly the probable consequences on extreme drought, flood wildfire. subsequently examines release transformation contaminants terrestrial, aquatic, atmospheric environments response driven by change. While drought influence dynamics inorganic organic terrestrial aquatic environments, thereby influencing their mobility transport, wildfire results spread atmosphere. There is nascent awareness change's change-induced environmental scientific community decision-making processes. remediation industry, particular, lags behind adopting adaptive measures for managing contaminated affected events. However, recognizing need assessment represents pivotal first step towards fostering more practices management environments. We highlight urgency collaboration between chemists experts, emphasizing importance jointly assessing fate rigorous action augment risk strategies safeguard health our environment.

Intensive and widespread use of pesticides raises serious environmental human health concerns. The presence levels 209 pesticide residues (active substances transformation products) in 625 samples (201 soil, 193 crop, 20 outdoor air, 115 indoor dust, 58 surface water, 38 sediment samples) have been studied. were collected during the 2021 growing season, across 10 study sites, covering main European crops, conventional organic farming systems. We profiled found different matrices using existing hazard classifications towards non-target organisms humans. Combining monitoring data information, we developed an indicator for prioritization pesticides, which can support policy decisions sustainable transitions. Eighty-six percent had at least one residue above respective limit detection.

Pharmaceutical and pesticide mixtures in a Mediterranean coastal wetland: comparison of sampling methods, ecological risks, and removal by a constructed wetland

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 31(10), P. 14593 - 14609

Abstract Pharmaceuticals and pesticides can be considered hazardous compounds for Mediterranean coastal wetland ecosystems. Although many of these co-occur in environmental samples, only a few studies have been dedicated to assessing the ecotoxicological risks complex contaminant mixtures. We evaluated occurrence 133 pharmaceuticals 12 sites protected wetland, Albufera Natural Park (ANP), based on conventional grab sampling polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS). assessed acute chronic ecological posed by mixtures using multi-substance Potentially Affected Fraction ( msPAF ) approach investigated capacity constructed reduce exposure risks.

Environmental and Human Health Hazards from Chlorpyrifos, Pymetrozine and Avermectin Application in China under a Climate Change Scenario: A Comprehensive Review

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(9), P. 1683 - 1683

Published: Aug. 25, 2023

Chlorpyrifos has been used extensively for decades to control crop pests and disease-transmitting insects; its contribution increasing food security minimizing the spread of diseases well documented. Pymetrozine Avermectin (also known as abamectin) have replace toxic organophosphate insecticides (e.g., Chlorpyrifos) applied rice crops in China, where overuse pesticides occurred. In addition, climate change exacerbated pesticide use pollution. Thus, farmers communities are at risk exposure This study reviews contamination, exposure, health risks through environmental biological monitoring legacy currently China; it investigates whether changes usage from reduce contamination hazards residents. this review discusses applications could be recommended other countries largely exposed high under scenarios. Although is now banned residents still experiencing adverse effects. Local consider an effective continue illegally some areas. As a result, concentration levels exceed risk-based thresholds, occurrence with toxicity multiple routes causes serious effects owing long-term wide application. The bioaccumulation environment unlikely. paddy water soil growth do not pose significant hazard public health. A can Finally, we recommend countries, such Vietnam, Africa, Ghana, Chlorpyrifos.

Integrating climate model projections into environmental risk assessment: A probabilistic modeling approach

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(2), P. 367 - 383

Published: Dec. 12, 2023

Abstract The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) convened a Pellston workshop in 2022 to examine how information on climate change could be better incorporated into the ecological risk assessment (ERA) process for chemicals as well other environmental stressors. A major impetus this is that can affect components risks multiple direct indirect ways, including use patterns exposure pathways chemical stressors such pesticides, toxicity receiving environments, vulnerability species concern related habitat quality use. This article explores modeling approach integrating model projections near‐ long‐term risks, developed collaboration with scientists. State‐of‐the‐art global downscaling techniques may enable at scales appropriate study area. It is, however, also important realize limitations individual models make ensembles represented by statistical properties. Here, we present probabilistic aiming combine projected climatic variables associated uncertainties from conjunction ERA pathways. We draw upon three examples utilized Bayesian networks purpose represent methodological advancements prediction future ecosystems. envision international will contribute management changing climate.
