Identification, quantification, and management of human health risks from long‐distance pesticide transport

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Pesticides can move through air, water, and global trade networks after application, exposing populations far from the original source, while most risk assessments and regulations still treat pesticide exposure as a local problem. This perspective offers a new framework to define, trace, and quantify long‐distance pesticide risk across connected ...

Human biomonitoring in risk assessment: analysis of the current practice and 1st examples HBM in risk assessments of HBM4EU priority chemicals [PDF]

, 2017
In chemicals risk assessment frameworks, the default approach is to assess external intake from different sources of exposure and via different routes of exposure. They are often assessed separately.

Repurposing Bird‐Based Acoustic Models for Amphibian Surveys: Strengths and Limitations in Real‐World Deployments

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed AnuraSearch, an open‐source classifier for 11 Ukrainian amphibian species, by repurposing the avian BirdNET algorithm via transfer learning to process over 18,000 h of autonomous acoustic recordings. Although the model demonstrated high precision and successfully reconstructed detailed seasonal and diel vocal activity ...

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.
