Pesticides are chemical constituents used to prevent or control pests, including insects, rodents, fungi, weeds, and other unwanted organisms. Despite their advantages in crop production disease management, the use of pesticides poses significant hazards environment public health. Pesticide elements have now perpetually entered our atmosphere subsequently contaminated water, food, soil, leading health threats ranging from acute chronic toxicities. can cause toxicity if a high dose is inhaled, ingested, comes into contact with skin eyes, while prolonged recurrent exposure leads toxicity. produce different types toxicity, for instance, neurotoxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, endocrine disruption. The pesticide formulation may depend on specific active ingredient presence synergistic inert compounds that enhance modify its Safety concerns need hour contemporary pesticide-induced hazards. effectiveness implementation current legislature providing ample protection human key concerns. This review explored comprehensive summary regarding updated impacts advanced safety legislation. Implementing regulations, proper training, education help mitigate negative promote safer more sustainable agricultural practices.

The widespread and excessive use of pesticides in modern agricultural practices has caused pesticide contamination the environment, animals, humans, with confirmed serious health consequences. This study aimed to identify 20 most critical substances based on an analysis detection frequency (DF) median concentrations (MC) across environmental biological matrices.

Pesticide pollution in argentine drinking water: A call to ensure safe access

Environmental Challenges, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14, С. 100808 - 100808

The application of pesticides in Argentina has been on the rise since 2000. However, monitoring drinking water lacks regular updates. This research study analysed 53 and degradation products to evaluate their presence water. most frequently detected were atrazine, metolachlor, imidacloprid, hydroxyatrazine, imazethapyr 2.4D. During sample collection period, 25% soil was planted with winter crops, while just under 50% allocated summer especially corn soybeans. correlation between used these crops those found significant/notable. As a matter fact, individual concentration [25] exceeded European limit 8.7% 17.6% samples collected from public private supplies, respectively, cumulative 4.3% 13.9% respectively. Based findings, we recommend/propose inclusion within regulatory framework that governs quality control guarantee protection health progressively reduce use Argentine agricultural system. Adopting measures will contribute ensuring safety sustainability sources for population.

The association between gestational selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment and newborn thyroid screen: a large-scale cohort study

BMC Pediatrics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 25(1)

The diagnosis of depression or anxiety treated by SSRIs has become relatively common in women childbearing age. However, the impact gestational SSRI treatment on newborn thyroid function is lacking. We explored as measured National Newborn Screening (NBS) Program and identified contributory factors. An observational large-scale study mother-infant dyads liveborn infants delivered between 2011 2022. Israeli NBS dataset [total thyroxine (TT4) obtained 36-72 h after delivery] was linked with electronic medical records mothers their born at Lis Maternity Women's Hospital, to generate a unified database.

Examining the Relationship Between Persistent Organic Pollutants and Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease: A Cross-Sectional Analysis Using NHANES Data

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Апрель 28, 2025

Recently, the term Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) has been adopted to better reflect underlying pathology and association with metabolic issues. Beyond dietary factors physical activity, previous studies have suggested that persistent organic pollutants (POPs), may contribute etiology of MAFLD; however, this disease can also develop at very low POP exposure levels, making it challenging discern their specific effect. This study aims investigate potential link between POPs, prevalence MAFLD. Data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was utilized for cross-sectional study. Participants were categorized based on MAFLD status levels various POPs measured in blood serum. Cox regression estimate adjusted ratio (aPR) used. Hazard Index (HI), Proportion Maximum Scaling (POMS), Toxicity Burden (TBI) applied assess mixtures. A total 4,224 participants included, 47 (33–65) years, 53.0% women, 50.1% had No significant sex differences observed main analysis regarding individual prevalence. However, sensitivity analyses revealed an inverse relationship certain prevalence, particularly women. Higher PCBs associated a lower highlighted effects pollutants, mixtures, sex-specific differences. The combined use HI, POMS, TBI provided more detailed risk assessment. Findings suggest biological stressors play roles how influence MAFLD, warranting further investigation into mechanisms health outcomes different ranges.
