“…Stella et al (2019) [ 15 ] introduced a reduction factor in plant coefficients, measured the water footprints of all the main crops on Rhodes island and analyzed the types of water footprint components. Vale [ 16 ] et al (2019) adopted the Paraiba model to calculate the gray water footprint of the pesticide mixture in a soil cultivated with sugarcane in Brazil. Nezamoleslami et al (2020) [ 17 ] applied the concept of water footprint to Iran’s industrial sector based on the water footprint network method and life cycle assessment framework and proposed an improved water footprint model for steel production to assess the water footprint of personnel’s foods.…”

Objectively evaluating the decoupling status of water resources utilization and economic development is an important sign of judging the sustainability of regional economic development. From the perspective of water footprint (WF), this paper expands the scope of water resources accounting by assessing agricultural blue WF, green WF and gray WF. The Tapio decoupling index was used to explore the decoupling status of agricultural WF and economic development in Gansu Province from 2006 to 2015, and the logarithmic mean divisor index (LMDI) decomposition model was used to identify the main driving factors of agricultural WF changes and explore the degree of divergence between agricultural economic development and water resources utilization. The results showed that agricultural economic growth was a main factor for the increase of WF; the improvement of agricultural production technology had a restraining effect, and the population effect and structural effect had a lesser effect. During the research period, the relationship between agricultural WF and economic growth in Gansu Province changed from weak decoupling to strong decoupling, and the contributing factors to decoupling were in descending order: economic, technological, structural and population. Finally, this paper puts forward suggestions on optimizing planting structure, improving agricultural technology and economic development mode to promote the sustainable development of local agriculture.

“…In France, a study showed at least 408 cases of occupational exposure to insecticides (54.4%), herbicides (33.3%), and fungicides (12.2%) in a Poison Control center from 2012 to 2016 in that country (Boucaud-Maitre et al 2019). In another study, Tual et al 2019 also demonstrated the use of pesticides in some frequent crops in France and insecticides in animals, which may increase the risk of cancers such as multiple myeloma. In India, since the Green Revolution, the intensi cation of pesticides has brought the signi cant long-term impact of such practices on public health and the environment (Keswani et al, 2019).…”

“…In this context, multiple myeloma, a hematopoietic malignancy of plasma cells, is one of the most common hematological cancers in men and women (Tual et al, 2019). This type of cancer has an etiology that promotes a frequent manifestation of this disease in farmers occupationally exposed to pesticides; the reason is still under investigation and is not very well elucidated (Ferri et al, 2017;Packard et al, 2019).…”

Occupational exposure to pesticides has been identified as a promoting factor for the development of cancer. Pesticides can cause intoxication in the individuals who manipulate them, either by inhalation, ingestion, or dermal contact. Therefore, our study aimed to describe the association between cancer and occupational exposure to pesticides from 2011 to 2020 through a bibliometric analysis. We selected 62 papers in the Scopus database. The results indicated an exponential increase in studies in the last decade; on a geographic scale, the USA, France, India, and Brazil were the countries that most investigated the association of cancer and pesticides among the 21 nationalities found. The main classes of pesticides were insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides associated with intoxication and cancer. Among the most reported cancers were multiple myeloma, bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, prostate, leukemia, and breast cancer. Although pesticides are associated with health problems, studies involving cancer and these products are still scarce when related to global use and the demand for agricultural production on the planet.

“…However, only focusing on a representative and specific pollutant leaves other pollutants and their interactions unexamined [88,89], which may lead to an underestimation of the grey water footprint and water quality stress. For instance, Vale et al [90] pointed out that many studies on agricultural products, only considering fertilizers but ignoring pesticides, underestimate the grey water footprint. Similarly, when looking at industrial pollution, cadmium, copper and mercury are critical pollutants for steel production; whereas cadmium is a critical pollutant for cement; and for glass, a critical pollutant would be suspended solids [91].…”

Production and consumption activities deplete freshwater, generate water pollution and may further lead to water stress. The accurate measurement of water stress is a precondition for sustainable water management. This paper reviews the literature on physical water stress induced by blue and green water use and by water pollution. Specifically, we clarify several key concepts (i.e., water stress, scarcity, availability, withdrawal, consumption and the water footprint) for water stress evaluation, and review physical water stress indicators in terms of quantity and quality. Furthermore, we identify research gaps in physical water stress assessment, related to environmental flow requirements, return flows, outsourcing of water pollution and standardization of terminology and approaches. These research gaps can serve as venues for further research dealing with the evaluation and reduction of water stress.
