Current farm systems rely on the use of Plant Protection Products (PPP) to secure high productivity and control threats quality crops. However, PPP may have considerable impacts human health environment. A study protocol is presented aiming determine occurrence levels residues in plants (crops), animals (livestock), humans other non-target species (ecosystem representatives) for exposure modelling impact assessment. To achieve this, we designed a cross-sectional compare conventional organic...
Pesticides present a significant risk for both humans and the environment. However, quantitative data broad range of airborne pesticides in agricultural areas are missing. During or after application, can reach atmosphere partition between particulate gaseous phase. As part EU project SPRINT, weekly ambient air samples were collected from two Portugal (vineyard) Netherlands (potatoes, onions, sugarbeet) April 2021 June 2022 using high-volume samplers. The analysed 329 pesticides, which 99...
Abstract Pesticides can enter the atmosphere during spraying or after application, resulting in environmental human exposure. The study describes optimisation and validation of analytical methods for determination more than 300 pesticides particulate gaseous phases air. were sampled with high-volume air samplers on glass-fibre filters (GFFs) glass columns filled polyurethane foam (PUF) XAD-2 resin. Comparing different extraction methods, a QuEChERS acetonitrile was selected GFFs. For...
