“…In Colombia, other studies have reported the presence and mobility of some persistent organic compounds such as 4,4′-DDT, 4,4-DDD, alpha-chlordane, and lindane used in agronomic practices of crop management. These compounds were found mainly distributed in the first 30 cm of the soil profile, despite not being applied for 20 years in the area, confirming their persistence in the environment [ 24 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ].…”

“…Although (officially) organochlorine pesticides are no longer in use in Latin America, they are detected in soil samples. In Colombia, such residues have been found in 35% of the 83 soil samples located in the Sinú River basin . Also, in soils from Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama (as well as 4 other Central American countries), dithiothreitol levels have been reported to be above the Canadian and US limits .…”

Soils from some Latin American countries support the highest biodiversity levels on the planet and simultaneously have some of the most serious environmental impacts attributed to both historical and current agricultural practices and industrial activities. Soil contamination has resulted from intensive use of pesticides, extensive mining and other industrial activities, and uncontrolled management of waste within inappropriate regulatory frameworks. The present study presents an overview of the scientific research on soil ecotoxicology conducted in Latin America, summarizing the recent advances and highlighting the needs for further refinements in this research field. Most of the contributions to the scientific literature have been from Brazil. The most investigated issue is the ecotoxicity of pesticides and earthworms, which were the organisms most frequently used as test species. Needs identified by Latin American researchers include methods and procedures for: 1) identifying and collecting natural soils to be used as reference test-substrates in tests, 2) identifying and discerning the range of sensitivities of native test species to soil contaminants, 3) developing environmental guidelines applicable to tropical/subtropical conditions, and 4) developing methods and procedures for higher tier testing for full development and implementation of environmental risk assessment schemes. The protection of Latin American soils, including provision of goods and services, is currently framed in legislation and other regulations, but implementation requires significant improvement and additional training programs.

“…Colombia intensified the use of persistent pesticides during the 1970s, including aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, chlordane, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene, and DDT [ 151 ], after their prohibition was replaced by organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, and benzimidazoles, among other currently used pesticides of great importance for agriculture in the country, registering an average annual use of 42,887 tons [ 152 ]. Colombia adopted the Stockholm Convention and is advancing in the elimination and remediation of affected areas; however, the footprint of the persistent organic compounds is still registered in soils, rivers, and coasts [ 116 , 153 ].…”

Coastal zones sustain extensive biodiversity, support key processes for ocean dynamics, and influence the balance of the global environment. They also provide resources and services to communities, determine their culture, and are the basis for their economic growth. Cartagena Bay in the Colombian Caribbean is the place of the establishment of one of the country’s main cities, which has a great historical and tourist attraction, and it is also the location of the main commercial port and a great variety of industries. Historically, it has been affected by several environmental impacts and intense pollution. This situation has gained the attention of different researchers, so herein is presented a literature review with a systematic approach using RStudio’s bibliometrix on the presence of pollutants and the impact on biodiversity in recent decades, providing a critical analysis of the state of Cartagena Bay and its future needs to ensure its recovery and conservation. In addition, the socioeconomic dynamics related to the environmental state of Cartagena Bay are presented from the framework drivers, pressures, status, impacts, and responses (DPSIR). The update and critical understanding of the sources, fate, and effects of pollution are important not only for the knowledge of the status of this singular ecosystem but also to encourage future research and entrench evidence to support decision makers’ actions. This review highlights that several pollutants that have been detected exceeding sediment quality guidelines, like As, Cd, Hg, and PAH, are also reported to bioaccumulate and cause damage throughout the trophic levels of the coastal environment. In addition, the potential use of sentinel species and biomarkers for their monitoring is discussed. Finally, the factors that cause pollution and threaten the state of the bay continue to exert pressure and impact; thus, there is a call for the further monitoring of this ecosystem and the strengthening of policies and regulations.
