Heavy Metals and Pesticides Toxicity in Agricultural Soil and Plants: Ecological Risks and Human Health Implications

Toxics, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 9(3), С. 42 - 42

Опубликована: Фев. 25, 2021

Environmental problems have always received immense attention from scientists. Toxicants pollution is a critical environmental concern that has posed serious threats to human health and agricultural production. Heavy metals pesticides are top of the list toxicants endangering nature. This review focuses on toxic effect heavy (cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn)) (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides) adversely influencing ecosystem (plant soil) health. Furthermore, accumulation pesticide residues in soils plants been discussed detail. In addition, characteristics contaminated soil plant physiological parameters reviewed. Moreover, diseases caused by exposure were also reported. The bioaccumulation, mechanism action, transmission pathways both emphasized. bioavailability uptake these contaminants considered. Meanwhile, synergistic antagonistic interactions between their combined effects discussed. Previous relevant studies included cover all aspects this review. information provides deep insights into understanding hazardous effects.

Pesticides in Drinking Water—A Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 18(2), С. 468 - 468

Опубликована: Янв. 8, 2021

The ubiquitous problem of pesticide in aquatic environment are receiving worldwide concern as tends to accumulate the body organism and sediment soil, posing health risks human. Many formulations had introduced due rapid growth global market result from wide use pesticides agricultural non-agricultural sectors. occurrence water is derived by runoff field industrial wastewater. Soluble were carried away molecules especially during precipitation event percolating downward into soil layers eventually reach surface waters groundwater. Consequently, it degrades quality reduces supply clean for potable water. Long-time exposure low concentration resulted non-carcinogenic risks. conventional method treatment processes encompasses coagulation-flocculation, adsorption, filtration sedimentation, which rely on phase transfer pollutants. Those methods often incurred with a relatively high operational cost may cause secondary pollution such sludge formation. Advanced oxidation (AOPs) recognized technologies containing recalcitrant bio-refractory pollutants pesticides. It has been adopted recent purification technology because thermodynamic viability broad spectrum applicability. This work provides comprehensive review drinking its possible treatment.

Pesticides: formulants, distribution pathways and effects on human health – a review

Toxicology Reports, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 8, С. 1179 - 1192

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2021

Pesticides are commonly used in agriculture to enhance crop production and control pests. Therefore, pesticide residues can persist the environment agricultural crops. Although modern formulations relatively safe non-target species, numerous theoretical experimental data demonstrate that produce long-term negative effects on health of humans animals stability ecosystems. Of particular interest molecular mechanisms mediate start a cascade adverse effects. This is review latest literature consequences contamination crops by residues. In addition, we address issue implicit risks associated with formulations. The pesticides considered context Adverse Outcome Pathway concept.

Factors Associated with Honey Bee Colony Losses: A Mini-Review

Veterinary Sciences, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 7(4), С. 166 - 166

Опубликована: Окт. 30, 2020

The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera L., Hymenoptera: Apidae) is a species of crucial economic, agricultural and environmental importance. In the last ten years, some regions world have suffered from significant reduction colonies. fact, losses are not an unusual phenomenon, but in many countries worldwide there has been notable decrease cases USA, European countries, Middle East received considerable attention, mostly due to absence easily identifiable cause. It difficult determine main factors leading colony because bees’ diverse social behavior. Moreover, their daily routine, they make contact with agents environment exposed plethora human activities consequences. Nevertheless, various considered be contributing losses, recent investigations established most important ones, particular, pests diseases, management, including keeping practices breeding, change climatic conditions, practices, use pesticides. global picture highlights ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor as major factor loss. Last least, microsporidian parasites, mainly Nosema ceranae, also contribute problem. Thus, it obvious that affecting globally. Increased monitoring scientific research should throw new light on involved losses. present review focuses which found impact increase

Use of Botanical Pesticides in Agriculture as an Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides

Agriculture, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(5), С. 600 - 600

Опубликована: Апрель 24, 2022

Pest management is being confronted with immense economic and environmental issues worldwide because of massive utilization over-reliance on pesticides. The non-target toxicity, residual consequence, challenging biodegradability these synthetic pesticides have become a serious concern, which urgently requires the alternative prompt adoption sustainable cost-effective pest control measures. Increasing attention in safety has triggered interest approaches through eco-friendly plant-based Botanical pesticidal constituents are effective against myriads destructive pests diseases. More importantly, they widely available, inexpensive, accessible, rapidly biodegradable, little toxicity to beneficiary agents. phytochemical compositions diverse plant species responsible for their varying mechanisms action However, difficulties formulation insufficient appropriate chemical data led low level acceptance globally. Therefore, review seeks highlight status, compositions, insecticidal mechanisms, challenges pesticide usage agricultural production.

Pesticides With Potential Thyroid Hormone-Disrupting Effects: A Review of Recent Data

Frontiers in Endocrinology, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 10

Опубликована: Дек. 9, 2019

Plant Protection Products, more commonly referred to as pesticides and biocides, are used control a wide range of yield-reducing pests including insects, fungi, nematodes, weeds. Concern has been raised that some may act endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) with the potential interfere hormone systems non-target invertebrates vertebrates, humans. EDCs at low doses particularly vulnerable periods exposure include pre- perinatal development. Of critical concern is number developing nervous system brain, notably thyroid signaling. Across orchestrates metamorphosis, brain development, metabolism. Pesticide action on homeostasis can involve interference TH production its control, displacement from distributor proteins liver Here we focused endpoints for each different classes reviewing epidemiological experimental studies carried out both in vivo vitro. We conclude first, many were placed market insufficient testing, other than acute or chronic toxicity, second, thyroid-specific neurodevelopmental effects mixture assessment largely absent regulatory directives.
