Lessons on touch: Caring for pesticide exposure in toxic geographies

Geographical Research, EarlyView.
This article studies touch as a tool to sense and care for chronic pesticide exposure. It uncovers how agricultural communities come in contact with toxic chemicals and learn to live within toxic geographies as well as possible. Such understandings can cultivate more compassionate and liveable worlds.

Pesticide residues in Junca Onion (Allium fistulosum) cultivated in Risaralda, Colombia

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2020
By 2050, the world population will reach 9.2 billion, increasing the food demand by twice. Lowering loss due to pests is still challenging, where pesticides play an important role, but its indiscriminate use causes inadequate residual amounts to be ...

Fetal exposure to a mixture of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals and biomarkers of male fecundity: A population‐based cohort study

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fetal exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been associated with reduced male fecundity, but with few studies considering chemical mixtures. Objectives We assessed the association between fetal exposure to a mixture of EDCs and biomarkers of male fecundity in young adulthood.

The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica

Antipode, EarlyView.
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.
