Exposure Routes and Health Risks Associated with Pesticide Application

Muyesaier Tudi et al.

Summary: Pesticides play a crucial role in agricultural development, but their adverse effects on human health and the environment remain a serious concern. The application methods, exposure routes, and health risks associated with pesticide use need to be discussed. Developing countries are particularly affected by the health problems caused by pesticide use and exposure. Policymakers should use scientific information to develop proper techniques for pesticide application, minimizing adverse health effects on both applicators and communities.

Occurrence, distribution, and risk of organochlorine pesticides in food and greenness assessment of method

Adebola Abosede Adeyi et al.

Summary: This study assessed the levels of residual Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in commonly consumed food in Lagos and Ibadan, Southwest, Nigeria, and evaluated the associated health risks through a statistical predictive model. The results showed that there was no significant health risk at the current consumption rate, but regular monitoring of OCP residues in food is highly recommended to ensure food safety. The analytical Eco-Scale evaluation and Green Analytical Chemical Procedure Index confirmed the method as an acceptable green analysis approach.

Thermal Conversion Characteristics of Molasses

Meheretu Jaleta Dirbeba et al.

Summary: The study investigated the thermal conversion characteristics of molasses, a byproduct from sugar production, at temperatures of 700-900 degrees C. Results showed that molasses had a lower conversion rate in an industrial boiler compared to vinasse and black liquor. The high release of K and Cl during combustion and gasification, along with the low melting temperature of molasses ash, make it challenging to utilize molasses as a fuel using current thermal conversion technologies.

Occurrence of pesticides in waters from the largest sugar cane plantation region in the world

Raphael D'Anna Acayaba et al.

Summary: This study analyzed multiple pesticides in surface and groundwater in the largest sugar cane production region in the world. The results showed potential risks for aquatic life from certain pesticides and their mixtures, but no significant impact on human consumption was observed.
