“…2 The large difference between concentrations of PFASs in dust in different regions is associated with their presence in personal consumer products and the usage of household products or materials in addition to discrepancies of dust sampling methods and locations. 4,30 Some of the PFASs in indoor dust data up to 2017 have been summarized in the review by Lucattini et al 3 Notably, more research has been conducted to address the presence of indoor dust and its implications to human exposure to PFAS in recent years. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] For example, Winkens, et al 23 investigated 65 floor dust samples collected from children's bedrooms in Finland for 62 PFAS analytes.…”

“…The exposure is revealed in the literature by correlations between the concentration of a pollutant in indoor dust and that in human body fluids and tissues. [2][3][4][5] The role of indoor dust as an exposure source has been gaining increased attention over the years. There are several literature reviews on the occurrence and levels of organic pollutants in house dust [2][3][4][5] and they summarize broadly available information about the sources, concentration levels and the pollutant's relevance to human exposure.…”

“…Environmental sampling involves water resources (mainly tap water, groundwater, rivers, and lakes), soils, sediments, and air particles. Recent studies have also included indoor and road dust [ 33 , 34 ]. In addition, as mentioned above, indirect assessment models also include food, as fruits, vegetables, and cereals treated with pesticides have also been proven to be significant sources of pesticides.…”

Background: Pesticide residues are a threat to the health of the global population, not only to farmers, applicators, and other pesticide professionals. Humans are exposed through various routes such as food, skin, and inhalation. This study summarizes the different methods to assess and/or estimate human exposure to pesticide residues of the global population. Methods: A systematic search was carried out on Scopus and web of science databases of studies on human exposure to pesticide residues since 2019. Results: The methods to estimate human health risk can be categorized as direct (determining the exposure through specific biomarkers in human matrices) or indirect (determining the levels in the environment and food and estimating the occurrence). The role that analytical techniques play was analyzed. In both cases, the application of generic solvent extraction and solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean-up, followed by liquid or gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, is decisive. Advances within the analytical techniques have played an unquestionable role. Conclusions: All these studies have contributed to an important advance in the knowledge of analytical techniques for the detection of pesticide levels and the subsequent assessment of nonoccupational human exposure.

“…Human exposure to dust occurs through two different pathways: (i) via dermal contact and (ii) via dust ingestion [ 14 ]. Inhalation exposure to dust is minimum and usually is neglected, albeit under some conditions may be an important exposure route.…”

Bisphenol A (BPA) and alternative bisphenols are widely used in the industrial production of polycarbonates and resin polymers. Adverse effects on human health have been described for BPA and owing to the structural similarity of alternative bisphenols and derivatives, a similar toxicity profile is expectable. Dust can act as a sink for bisphenols owing to the large surface area to mass ratio. Human risk exposure to bisphenols via indoor dust has been widely assessed in the last decade. The environmental conditions inside greenhouses, among other factors, facilitate that chemicals are released from greenhouse building materials to dust. This study aims to explore for the first time the potential of greenhouse dust as a new source of bisphenols for human exposure. For this purpose, a supramolecular solvent-based method was applied to the extraction of twenty-one bisphenols from greenhouse dust, prior to their determination by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Nineteen bisphenols were found in the five greenhouse dust samples analysed, with concentrations ranging from 5275 ng g−1 (BPA) to 0.25 ng g−1 (trichlorobisphenol A). The average daily dose (ADD) via dust ingestion for bisphenol compounds was calculated, in order to estimate the occupational exposure for inadvertent dust ingestion. Despite the calculated ADD value for BPA (47.81 ng kg−1 day−1) being below the tolerable daily intake proposed by EFSA (4·103 ng kg−1 day−1), this value was considerably higher than those previously reported for indoor dust, which brings to light the importance of considering greenhouse dust as bisphenols source of exposure for greenhouse workers.
