“…21 Third, higher levels of some chemical components, such as neonicotinoid insecticide, of PM 2.5 in rural areas may also contribute to the greater health impacts of PM 2.5 . 22,23 Fourth, the greater effects of PM 2.5 in rural areas may also be related to a higher prevalence of smoking and second-hand smoke, 24,25 which may intensify the effects of ambient air pollution on RESP mortality risks.…”

PM 2.5 had greater effects on CVD/CED mortality in urban cities than rural areas -PM 2.5 had stronger effects on RESP mortality in rural areas than urban cities -An annual mean of 16.5/100,000 deaths was attributable to PM 2.5 in urban cities -An annual mean of 3.4//100,000 deaths was attributable to PM 2.5 in rural areas -Spatially targeted measures are needed to reduce PM 2.5 -related mortality in China ll www.cell.com/the-innovation

“…However, we expect this to have a minor effect, as several studies have found a significant correlation between these [ 19 , 98 ], and levels indoors are usually higher than outdoors [ 92 , 109 , 110 ]. Finally, the outcome of the health impact assessment is limited by the fact that it considers only a limited amount of active ingredients and does not take into account synergistic effects [ 111 ]. Additionally, some mechanisms of toxicity (e.g., suppressed expression of serotonin transporter genes) are not considered in the definition of the reference dose [ 63 ].…”

Over the last decades, concern has arisen worldwide about the negative impacts of pesticides on the environment and human health. Exposure via dust ingestion is important for many chemicals but poorly characterized for pesticides, particularly in Africa. We investigated the spatial and temporal variations of 30 pesticides in dust and estimated the human exposure via dust ingestion, which was compared to inhalation and soil ingestion. Indoor dust samples were collected from thirty-eight households and two schools located in two agricultural regions in South Africa and were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. We found 10 pesticides in dust, with chlorpyrifos, terbuthylazine, carbaryl, diazinon, carbendazim, and tebuconazole quantified in >50% of the samples. Over seven days, no significant temporal variations in the dust levels of individual pesticides were found. Significant spatial variations were observed for some pesticides, highlighting the importance of proximity to agricultural fields or of indoor pesticide use. For five out of the nineteen pesticides quantified in dust, air, or soil (i.e., carbendazim, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, diuron and propiconazole), human intake via dust ingestion was important (>10%) compared to inhalation or soil ingestion. Dust ingestion should therefore be considered in future human exposure assessment to pesticides.

“…This review includes six studies assessing pesticide levels in atmospheric particulate matter, including two studies combining the measures of ambient air and urinary levels. The publications covered mainly OPPs and OCPs, although two studies focused on the detection of some relevant NEOs such as imidacloprid, acetamiprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam [ 59 , 60 ]. Air samples were collected by suspended particulate samplers (high or low volume, according to the study) equipped with quartz or glass fiber filters (GFFs) and polyurethane foam (PUF) cartridges.…”

“…Similarly, in the studies of Ikenaka et al [ 60 ] and Yera et al [ 58 ], the filters were cut and sonicated with solvent mixtures of ethyl acetate/acetone (9:1, v / v ) and ethyl acetate/acetonitrile (30:70, v / v ), respectively. Lastly, Zhou et al [ 59 ] developed a QuEChERS extraction to detect NEOs in PM 2.5 , using acetonitrile as the sorbent and applying a clean-up process with primary secondary amine (PSA). Subsequently, pesticides extracted from air samples were detected by LC–MS/MS and GC–MS.…”

Non-Occupational Exposure to Pesticides: Experimental Approaches and Analytical Techniques (from 2019)

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.
