Occurrence of Pesticides, Mycotoxins, and Heavy Metals in Distilled Alcoholic Beverages: A Review of Contaminants and Health Risks

Foods, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(8), С. 1303 - 1303

Опубликована: Апрель 9, 2025

Distilled alcoholic beverages may contain pesticides, mycotoxins, and heavy metals originating from raw materials, environmental factors technological processes. This review paper analyses the existing regulations related to these contaminants, their impact on health risk assessment associated with consumption. Sources of contamination are discussed, including influence climatic conditions emerging risks occurrence contaminants in as well transfer all during distillation process. Furthermore, analytical detection methods strategic measures reduce consumer exposure reviewed. The results highlight need for continued research, improvement control adaptation regulatory standards line new scientific knowledge.

Predicting Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture in the Southwest United Kingdom

Climate change will create significant challenges to agriculture. The effects on livestock productivity and crop production are highly dependent weather conditions with consequences for food security. If agriculture is remain a viable industry maintain future security, the adaptations ideal timeframes their implementation mitigate against climate impacts be essential knowledge. This study aims show how farms affected need adapt change, based holistic examination of entire farming process. A modified Bayesian belief network (BBN) was used investigate livestock, crops, soil, water use, disease, pesticide use through 48 indicators (comprising climate, agricultural, environmental). seasonal impact all aspects investigated three different forcing scenarios (RCPs 2.6, 4.5, 8.5) four (2030, 2050, 2080, 2099). results suggest that heat stress disease in both crops require (e.g., shelter infrastructure being built, new or cultivators grown). Pest intensity expected rise, leading increased greater damage livestock. Higher temperatures likely cause drought irrigation needs, while increasing rain might lead winter flooding. Soil quality maintenance rely increasingly fertilisers, decreases if unsustainable. Crop yield can cope changing successful market access; failure do so could substantial decrease, Impacts more from 2080 onwards, severity season.

Climate warming shifts riverine macroinvertebrate communities to be more sensitive to chemical pollutants

Abstract Freshwaters are highly threatened ecosystems that vulnerable to chemical pollution and climate change. Freshwater taxa vary in their sensitivity chemicals changes species composition can potentially affect the of assemblages exposure. Here we explore potential consequences future change on freshwater macroinvertebrate stressors using UK as a case study. Macroinvertebrate under end century (2080–2100) baseline (1980–2000) conditions were predicted for 608 sites four scenarios corresponding mean temperature 1.28 3.78°C. toxicity data collated 19 hierarchical distribution model was used predict untested relatedness within Bayesian approach. All shifted assemblage compositions, increasing prevalence Mollusca, Crustacea Oligochaeta species, insect Odonata, Chironomidae, Baetidae species. Contrastingly, decreases projected Plecoptera, Ephemeroptera (except Baetidae) Coleoptera Shifts taxonomic associated with percentage at risk from For 3.78°C scenario, 76% all became more sensitive 18 chemicals, increased. Climate warming‐induced increases greatest exposed metals dependent composition, which varied spatially. warming is result use, environmental exposure chemicals. show that, even absence these climate‐chemical interactions, shifts due will increase impact biodiversity may double or quadruple by 21st century.

Incorporating climate projections in the environmental risk assessment of pesticides in aquatic ecosystems

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 20(2), С. 384 - 400

Опубликована: Окт. 5, 2023

Abstract Global climate change will significantly impact the biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems, both directly and indirectly via exacerbation impacts from other stressors. Pesticides form a prime example chemical stressors that are expected to synergize with change. Aquatic exposures pesticides might in magnitude due increased runoff agricultural fields, composition, as application patterns changes pest pressures crop types. Any prospective risk assessment aims capture influence should properly comprehensively account for variabilities uncertainties inherent projections future climate. This is only feasible if they probabilistically propagate extensive ensembles model projections. However, current assessments typically make use process‐based models fate do not allow such high‐throughput applications. Here, we describe Bayesian network does. It incorporates two‐step univariate regression based on 30‐day antecedent precipitation index, circumventing need computationally laborious mechanistic models. We show its feasibility potential case study two Norwegian stream: fungicide trifloxystrobin herbicide clopyralid. Our analysis showed variations pesticide rates well intensity lead in‐stream exposures. When relating aquatic risks, these processes reduced distributions dominated by effect‐related parameters. Predicted risks clopyralid were negligible, but probability unacceptable environmental exposure (i.e., quotient >1) was 8%–12%. percentage further 30%–35% when more conservative precautionary factor 100 instead 30 used.
