“…In this sense, lack of access to clean water has enormous consequences for both, human and animal health and welfare (Howard et al, 2020). Drinking water supply is a critical problem in numerous developing countries (Maldonado et al 2018), especially in farms that do not have a potable water system (Urseler et al, 2022a). Therefore, it is important to evaluate the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters of water and determine the water quality index (WQI) for human or animal consumption.…”

“…The geological characteristics of this region, as well as anthropogenic activities (agricultural-livestock practices and the urban-industrial complex), largely control the composition of water resources and their properties (Mahammad et al 2023). Previous studies in the Pampean plains of Córdoba have shown that surface and groundwater pollution is due to intensive agriculture and livestock farming, the dumping of industrial and urban waste, and overexploitation (Bachetti et al 2021;Lupi et al 2019;Lutri et al 2020; Urseler et al 2022a). The Ctalamochita river allows the assimilation and/or transport of urban and industrial wastewater, e uent discharges and runoff from agricultural elds, rural roads and streets, which are responsible for the contamination of the river (Destéfanis et al 2020;Bachetti et al 2021).…”

Surface and groundwater are important resources for the drinking water supply and the development of agricultural and livestock activities in the Córdoba province, Argentina. The objective of this study was to assess the physicochemical and microbiological quality of surface (n = 14) and groundwater (n = 17) sites in the middle-lower basin of the Ctalamochita river (Córdoba, Argentina) for human and animal consumption. A total of 18 physicochemical and five microbiological parameters were evaluated to determine the hydrogeological characteristics of both water resources and their suitability for human and animal consumption using the Water Quality Index (WQI). The results indicated that Na+ and HCO3‒ were the dominant cation and anion, respectively, both in surface water and groundwater. Physicochemical and microbiological parameters values were compared with limits recommended by national and international guidelines. The WQI showed that groundwater samples exhibited poor quality compared to surface waters for human consumption, due to high concentrations of major ions and the presence of total coliforms and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Meanwhile, the WQI for animal consumption indicated that both surface and groundwater samples were suitable for this purpose. Piper diagram showed that most of the surface and groundwater samples were classified as Na+-Cl‒-HCO3‒ and Na+-HCO3‒, respectively, showing the hydrogeochemical difference between the two water resources. Gibbs diagram indicates the processes of rock-water interaction and evaporation control the chemical composition of surface and groundwater sources. The findings of this study would enable the development of a proactive plan aimed at preserving safe and sustainable water resources in the middle-lower basin of the Ctalamochita river. This could be achieved through the implementation of preventive strategies and the introduction of innovative policies.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a class of man-made substances with potential to disrupt the standard function of the endocrine system. These EDCs include phthalates, perchlorates, phenols, some heavy metals, furans, dimethoate, aromatic hydrocarbons, some pesticides, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). EDCs are widespread in the environment given their frequent use in daily life. Their production, usage, and consumption have increased many-fold in recent years. Their ability to interact and mimic normal endocrine functions makes them a potential threat to human health, aquatics, and wild life. Detection of these toxins has predominantly been done by mass spectroscopy and/or chromatography-based methods and to a lesser extent by advanced sensing approaches such as electrochemical and/or colorimetric methods. Instrument-based analytical techniques are often not amenable for onsite detection due to the lab-based nature of these detecting systems. Alternatively, analytical approaches based on sensor/biosensor techniques are more attractive because they are rapid, portable, equally sensitive, and eco-friendly. Advanced sensing systems have been adopted to detect a range of EDCs in the environment and food production systems. This review will focus on advances and developments in portable sensing techniques for EDCs, encompassing electrochemical, colorimetric, optical, aptamer-based, and microbial sensing approaches. We have also delineated the advantages and limitations of some of these sensing techniques and discussed future developments in sensor technology for the environmental sensing of EDCs.

“…In relation to the factors that can increase the risks of certain cancers, various exogenous milk compounds should be taken into account. Thus, pesticides and several environmental pollutants, together with veterinary drugs and melamine, which can be contained in milk and dairy products, may contribute to develop some forms of cancer (Davoodi et al 2013;Urseler et al 2022). This has been already suggested for red meat, for example, as a result of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) statement on the potential carcinogenicity of the consumption of red meat and processed meats (Domingo and Nadal 2016;Domingo 2017;Gonz alez et al 2020).…”

Polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are a group of persistent organic pollutants with well‐known toxic effects and potential carcinogenicity. Human exposure to PCDD/Fs is mainly through food, including dairy products. The scientific information on the concentrations of PCDD/Fs in milk and dairy products is here reviewed. It also includes the intake of PCDD/Fs through the consumption of these products. PCDD/Fs concentrations in milk and dairy products are currently decreasing. A similar trend is also noted for their contributions to the total dietary intake of PCDD/Fs. No significant health risks due to exposure to PCDD/Fs through the consumption of dairy products are expected.
