“…The presence of these contaminants in groundwater was recently reported in several studies. In particular, atrazine and its metabolite atrazine-desethyl were found in the United States, Republic of China, and France [ 28 , 29 , 30 ]; β -hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) was reported in the Republic of China and Morocco [ 29 , 31 ]; dieldrin was reported in Italy [ 32 ]; and simazine was found in France, Morocco, and Italy [ 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Among these, for atrazine, β -hexachlorocyclohexane, dieldrin, and simazine, exceedances of the standards were observed, with maximum concentrations ranging from 0.210 to 221 µg/L [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 32 , 33 ].…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in Italy reporting data on pesticide human health risk assessment associated with the intake of drinkable water in the adult population. Actually, studies on pesticide human health risk assessment are scarce worldwide, and the majority of them regard agricultural area and/or specific compounds [ 29 , 31 , 37 , 38 ]. In a study conducted in an agricultural area of Morocco, groundwater contamination with pesticides and relative human health risk was evaluated by Berni et al; the HQs of pesticides most frequently detected ranged from 2.3 × 10 −9 for linuron to 1 × 10 −3 for parathion ethyl [ 31 ].…”

Huang et al reported the values of cumulative risk evaluated in groundwater samples collected from an important commodity grain base in China: four pesticides were detected in all samples, but their concentration did not pose a risk to adults except for two points where the risk quotient was close to 1 [ 29 ].…”

Pesticides used to protect agricultural crops may contaminate groundwater. This work aimed to identify the pesticides used in Lombardy, Italy, in 2016, their concentration in the groundwater and the risk for health associated with the intake of drinkable water in the adult population. The risk was evaluated for the presence of single and multiple active substances in the groundwater, calculating the hazard quotient (HQ) and the hazard index (HI), respectively. Lombardy utilises an agricultural area of 980,112 h, which is mainly cultivated with cereals (74%). Approximately 2354 pesticides (about 1.3 × 107 kg), containing 410 active substances (about 4.5 × 106 kg) were sold. There were groundwater contamination measurements in 158 monitoring points, which were investigated twice a year for 31 active substances, and a total of 9152 determinations. Only 17 currently used active substance were measured in the groundwater, among which three belonged to the 10 best-sold pesticides. The exceedance of the environmental quality standard was observed for about 1.5% determinations. The intake of contaminated water in the adult population resulted in a HQ typically ranging between 10−3 and 10−4 and a HI of about 10−3. Although the number of pesticides sold in 2016 in Lombardy was big, only a small fraction of active substances was monitored in the groundwater. Considering these monitored substances, the intake of contaminated groundwater in the adult general population posed an irrelevant risk for health.

“…La exposición a plaguicidas y residuos químicos procedentes de la agricultura afecta al riesgo de padecer cáncer en las personas, componentes químicos como el arsénico inorgánico genera un elevado riesgo de cáncer lo cual es utilizado en el cultivo de arroz (Almutairi et al, 2021); los plaguicidas organoclorados como el α-HCH, el β-HCH, el DDT y el DDE en altas concentraciones genera un riesgo de cáncer para los lactantes y niños prescolares y escolares (Berni et al, 2021).…”

Los seres humanos están expuestos de forma directa e indirecta a diferentes tipos de plaguicidas procedentes de actividades agrícolas, estos plaguicidas por ser tóxicos para la salud humana afectando a los trabajadores agrícolas y residentes cercanos. En ese contexto el objetivo fue analizar el riesgo para la salud humana por exposición a plaguicidas procedente de actividades agrícolas. Se desarrolló mediante una revisión bibliográfica sistemática consultando la base de datos Scienciedirect desde enero a agosto del 2021. Se encontró qué el 52.63% de los artículos científicos estaban relacionados a diferentes tipos de cáncer, el 26.32% a intoxicaciones, el 15.79% a problemas y trastornos mentales y el 5.26% a alteraciones metabólicas y hematológicas, concluyendo que los plaguicidas utilizadas en actividades agrícolas generan en el ser humano un mayor riesgo a tener cáncer de tiroides, tumores, cáncer de pulmón, leucemia linfoblástica/mieloide y cáncer colorrectal, además un mayor riesgo a intoxicaciones por ingestión, inhalación y por vía cutánea siendo mortal muchas veces, también genera un mayor riesgo de retardo del crecimiento y desarrollo en los niños, cefalea intensa, párkinson, preciastrocitoma, meduloblastom y ependimoma, así mismo genera alteraciones del colesterol, hematocito, plaquetas y hemoglobina.

“…To meet these food's needs, producers in general and vegetable farmers, in particular, use chemical inputs, selected varieties, genetically modified organisms, and wastewater irrigation (Ahouangninou, 2013). These practices are likely to negatively affect soil quality (Van Jaarsveld et al, 1999; Raffa and Chiampo 2021), water (Detroux, 1996;Houze, 2003;El Azzouzi et al, 2014;Maldani et al, 2017;Naamane et al, 2020;Berni et al, 2021a), air quality (FOCUS, 2008;Chahine, 2011;Ahouangninou, 2013;Guiral et al, 2016), biodiversity (El Bakouri, 2006) and human health (Carvalho, 2006;Idrissi et al, 2010;Morillon, 2016;Belhadi et al, 2017;Saadane, 2018;Berni et al, 2021b). In Africa, several authors have worked on assessing the sustainability of the market gardening (Cissé et al, 2003;Traoré et al, 2006;Assogba-Komlan et al, 2007;Ahouangninou, 2013;Bayendi et al, 2017).…”

Market gardening constitutes a basis for food security of urban and peri-urban households. However, market gardening is subject to the use of chemical inputs, selected varieties, and genetically modified organisms. These practices are increasingly controversial and are likely to affect the sustainability of vegetable farms. This study assessed the sustainability of 120 randomly selected market garden farms (Meknes) using the surveys and the market garden production sustainability indicator. The results show that the majority of the farms identified are characterized by low sustainability, with the agroecological dimension being the limiting factor. The improvement of the components "Ecological diversity", "Spatial organization", and "Agricultural practices" are the ways to improve the global sustainability of vegetable production in Meknes. The socio-territorial sustainability of production is characterized by a lack of training for producers, a lack of hygiene and safety in production activities, and a low contribution to employment. The economic dimension is characterized by low viability, low economic transmissibility, and financial autonomy. To perpetuate the market gardening in the city of Meknes, it appears necessary to promote ecological intensification, integrated diversification, and promotion of local inputs to the various types of market gardening farms
