“…Probably for this reason, there is not clear overview of the level of contamination of agricultural soils at the international level. Most of the available studies focus on the monitoring of a discrete number of permitted (Han et al, 2017;Karasali et al, 2016;Kosubova et al, 2020;Suszter and Ambrus, 2017;Vasickova et al, 2019), or prohibited pesticides (Barron et al, 2017;Eudoxie et al, 2019;Hwang et al, 2018;Kosubova et al, 2020). One of the most recent and complete studies found that 83% of the samples were contaminated with one or more pesticides (Silva et al, 2019).…”

“…The protection technologies in sustainable agricultural productivity and management are categorized into three large groups, which in fact have no clear boundaries between them: (1) chemical crop-protection techniques, (2) biological crop-protection techniques and (3) mechanical crop-protection techniques (Figure 1). Among the areas of research that have received the most attention is the increasingly intensive use of chemical pesticides to control pests, which unfortunately can remain in the soil for decades after application and pose serious health risks [33][34][35][36]. Integrated pest management (IPM) and the use of biocontrol solutions are experiencing wider acceptance by citizens and research investments, as new alternative ways to achieve sustainable control solutions [28,[37][38][39][40].…”

After the Second World War, technological advancements helped to develop agriculture and meet urgent food needs. The green revolution was based on the cultivation of new high-yielding varieties, the adoption of plant protection measures, and synthetic fertilizer use. Today, agriculture is called upon to recover its productivity in environmentally friendly terms and to face challenges such as climate change and international political–military events that threaten global sufficiency in agricultural products. The objective of the study is to evaluate the function that crop-protection technologies play in ensuring the continuity of agricultural output. The research was conducted by the use of a questionnaire in a sample of 250 farmers in Northern Greece. Specifically, through descriptive and regression analysis, the roles of biological crop protection, chemical crop-protection techniques, and mechanical crop-protection techniques were explored, and it was found that they either have a positive effect or a significant relationship with sustainable agricultural productivity. In order to meet the current environmental, economic, and political challenges, the agriculture sector at the global and local level should improve and further adopt existing technologies, consolidate the use of integrated pest-management strategies, and fully introduce innovations, combined with digital transformation, into agricultural management and production.

“…Globally, a significant quantity of obsolete pesticides (half a million tons) is in storage [7]. Africa has accumulated an estimated amount of 50,000 tons of obsolete pesticide stocks with countries such as Ethiopia, Botswana, Mali, Morocco, South Africa and Tanzania each estimated to have more than 1,000 tons [3,8].…”

ABSTRACT. Hadya Zone (HZ) obsolete pesticide dump site was selected for determinations of OCPs from soil and assessing the toxicological risks to environment and human health. Composite soil samples were collected and extracted using Soxhlet (SOX) extraction method and analyzed for p,p’-DDT, p,p’-DDE, p,p’-DDD, α-BHC, β-BHC, g-BHC, d-BHC, g-chlordane, α-chlordane, and endosulfan sulfate using GC-MS. The total average concentrations of SDDTs, SBHCs, chlordanes, endosulfans were 41.92, 5.91, 11.47, 0.44 ng/g, respectively. DDTs, chlordanes and BHCs were categorized as causing potential risks to the eco-environment exceeding the threshold value (2.5 ng/g) set by Netherlands’ soil quality standards. However, endosulfans residual concentrations were below the threshold value. Carcinogenic risk assessments to humans were evaluated using incremental lifetime cancer risks (ILCRs) via three exposure routes (ingestion, dermal contact; inhalation). The average ILCRs values were 2.54 x 10-8, 1.68 x 10-8, and 2.71 x 10-8 for the three age groups: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, respectively. The result shows the cancer risk to humans from the soil matrix in the study site was acceptable. However, since the dumping site is at high elevation, there is high probability to be transported via runoff to different environmental matrices: river water, sediment and biota. Thus, if the residue analyses of all these environmental matrices are considered, the risk might be increasing. KEY WORDS: Obsolete pesticide, Dump site, Toxicological risk assessment, OCPs Bull.
