The advent of pesticide production on large scale has contributed immensely to the quality and quantity of agricultural products, and averting diseases that stem from pest vectors. Despite these benefits, inappropriate or excessive usage of these chemicals could have negative impacts on humans and other organisms in the environment.

Abstract The presence of pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in irrigation water for rice fields enhanced the release and biodegradation of fenobucarb in the soil-water system, contributing to the diminishing of fenobucarb and 2-sec-butylphenol in the soil and drain water. The fenobucarb-spiked soil was amended

The 2023 European Union report on pesticide residues in food
Abstract Under European Union legislation (Article 32, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), the European Food Safety Authority publishes an annual report assessing the pesticide residue levels in food. In 2023, as part of the EU‐coordinated multiannual control programme subset, 13,246 samples placed on the European market were analysed, with a 1.0% found to ...

Abstract Regular monitoring of pesticide residues in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) is important to ensure a low risk of pesticide toxicity to consumers. An efficient, modified quick easy cheap effective rugged safe‐dispersive‐solid‐phase extraction (QuEChERS‐ d‐SPE) was optimized and validated for quantification of pesticide residues (metalaxyl ...

Objective. The current study was aimed at using a latent profile analysis (LPA) model to classify greenhouse farmers into a potential cluster according to their exposure to pesticide residuals. Further, the association between self‐rated health (SRH) and the cluster exposed to pesticide residual was explored. Methods.

A new method for screening 300 pesticide residues in fruit‐, vegetable‐, and cereal‐based baby foods by an improved QuEChERS purification method based on amino‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NH2‐MWCNTs) combined with gas chromatography‐electrostatic field orbitrap high‐resolution mass spectrometry (Orbitrap GC‐MS) was developed.

The 2016 European Union report on pesticide residues in food
Abstract This report provides an insight into the official control activities carried out by EU Member States, Iceland and Norway in 2016. Based on the analytical results provided by the reporting countries, a detailed data analysis was performed regarding pesticide occurrence in the most important food products consumed and the dietary risk related to

Abstract Rice straw can serve as potential material for bioenergy production. However, the quantitative effects of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration [CO2] on rice straw quality and the resulting consequences for bioenergy utilization are largely unknown. In this study, two rice varieties, WYJ and LY, that have been shown previously to

We studied the effect of cleaning and cooking on the residues of flutolanil, fenobucarb, silafluofen and buprofezin in rice. The rice had been sprayed in a paddy field in Wakayama city, with 3 kinds of pesticide application protocols: spraying once at the usual concentration of pesticides, repeated spraying (3 times) with the usual concentration of ...
