“…Pyridaben is characterized by low mobility in soil and high concentration levels in soil due to it low solubility in water. ( Sabzevari and Hofman, 2022 ). In turn, its penetration to ground water and surface water is limited.…”

Pyridaben is an acaricide widely used around the world to control phytophagous mites, white flies, aphids, and thrips. It is highly toxic to nontarget organisms such as predatory mites, bees, and fishes. Therefore, the occurrence and removal of pyridaben in food and the environment are worthy of concern. This mini-review focuses on pyridaben residue levels in crops, aquatic systems, and soils, as well as the green synthesis and removal of pyridaben. During the period of 2010–2022, pyridaben was reported in monitoring studies on fruits, vegetables, herbs, bee products, aquatic systems, and soils. Vegetable and agricultural soil samples exhibited the highest detection rates and residue levels. One-pot synthesis offers a green chemistry and sustainable alternative for the synthesis of pyridaben. Among traditional home treatments, peeling is the most effective way to remove pyridaben from crops. Magnetic solid-phase extraction technology has emerged as a powerful tool for the adsorption and separation of pyridaben. Photocatalytic methods using TiO2 as a catalyst were developed as advanced oxidation processes for the degradation of pyridaben in aqueous solutions. Current gaps in pyridaben removal were proposed to provide future development directions for minimizing the exposure risk of pyridaben residues to human and nontarget organisms.

“…The persistence of pesticides in soil has been known for a long time (Carson 1962). Pesticide residue contents in soil have been documented by many studies (Sabzevari and Hofman 2022). For instance, a study of agricultural soils in Europe showed that 70% of the soils contaminated contained mixtures of residues (Vera et al 2019).…”

“…For instance, a study of agricultural soils in Europe showed that 70% of the soils contaminated contained mixtures of residues (Vera et al 2019). Sabzevari and Hofman (2022) analysed the data from 72 studies published in the last 50 years worldwide. They identified ubiquitous pesticides with Mevinphos, Esfenvalerate and Cyfluthrin having detection frequency of 71%, 65% and 63% worldwide.…”

“…These studies vary greatly on sampling time (year and season), sampling strategy (soil depth), and analytical methods (scope, extraction, and limits of detection and quantification), hampering an overview of occurrence and levels of the residues across EU agricultural soils. Differences in currently used pesticides studies are presented in Sabzevari and Hofman (2022). It is estimated, though, that 62% of European agricultural land is at high risk of pesticide pollution (Tang et al, 2021).…”

“…Other pesticide use data sources also have limitations: i) the world pesticide use review (Sharma et al, 2019) does not indicate the applied amount per AS either; ii) the PEST-CHEMGRIDS dataset (Maggi et al, 2019) has use estimates for only some of the AS allowed in the EU; and iii) there is data availability/accessibility issues and heterogeneity in the use data collected among the Member States (Galimberti et al, 2020). The existing monitoring data for soils (Sabzevari and Hofman, 2022;, water (Casado et al, 2019) and air (Marlier et al, 2020) indicate that mixtures of pesticide residues are the rule rather than the exception, yet (eco)toxicity data on complex mixtures are rarely available, especially for observed concentrations in the environment, realistic mixture ratios, and other standard toxicity endpoints (Martin et al, 2021).…”

Pesticide residues in EU soils and related risks

Pesticide use is a major foundation of the agricultural intensification observed over the last few decades. As a result, soil contamination by pesticide residues has become an issue of increasing concern due to some pesticides' high soil persistence and toxicity to non-target species. In this study, the distribution of 76 pesticide residues was evaluated in 317 agricultural topsoil samples from across the European Union. The soils were collected in 2015 and originated from 11 EU Member States and 6 main cropping systems. Over 80% of the tested soils contained pesticide residues (25% of samples had 1 residue, 58% of samples had mixtures of two or more residues), in a total of 166 different pesticide combinations. Glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA, DDTs (DDT and its metabolites), and the broad-spectrum fungicides boscalid, epoxiconazole, and tebuconazole were the compounds most frequently found in the soil samples and the compounds found at the highest concentrations. These compounds occasionally exceeded their predicted environmental concentrations in soil but were below the respective toxic endpoints for standard in-soil organisms. The maximum individual pesticide content assessed in a soil sample was 2.05 mg/kg, the maximum total pesticide content was 2.87 mg/kg. This study reveals that the presence of mixtures of pesticide residues in soils is the rule rather than the exception, indicating that environmental risk assessment procedures should be adapted accordingly to minimize related risks to soil life and beyond. This information can be used to implement monitoring programs for pesticide residues in soil and to trigger toxicity assessments of mixtures of pesticide residues on a wider range of soil species to perform more comprehensive and accurate risk assessments.
