“…Within this framework, pesticides have been associated to the promotion of inflammation and oxidative stress, resulting in membrane damage, protein dysfunction, and DNA impairment. In addition, specific active ingredients have been identified as endocrine disruptors with the potential to impact fetal growth ( 229 ). Therefore, an increasing necessity exists for studies to thoroughly investigate the health impacts of pesticide exposure on pregnant women.…”

IntroductionPollution has emerged as a significant threat to humanity, necessitating a thorough evaluation of its impacts. As a result, various methods for human biomonitoring have been proposed as vital tools for assessing, managing, and mitigating exposure risks. Among these methods, urine stands out as the most commonly analyzed biological sample and the primary matrix for biomonitoring studies.ObjectivesThis review concentrates on exploring the literature concerning residual pesticide determination in urine, utilizing liquid and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and its practical applications.MethodThe examination focused on methods developed since 2010. Additionally, applications reported between 2015 and 2022 were thoroughly reviewed, utilizing Web of Science as a primary resource.SynthesisRecent advancements in chromatography-mass spectrometry technology have significantly enhanced the development of multi-residue methods. These determinations are now capable of simultaneously detecting numerous pesticide residues from various chemical and use classes. Furthermore, these methods encompass analytes from a variety of environmental contaminants, offering a comprehensive approach to biomonitoring. These methodologies have been employed across diverse perspectives, including toxicological studies, assessing pesticide exposure in the general population, occupational exposure among farmers, pest control workers, horticulturists, and florists, as well as investigating consequences during pregnancy and childhood, neurodevelopmental impacts, and reproductive disorders.Future directionsSuch strategies were essential in examining the health risks associated with exposure to complex mixtures, including pesticides and other relevant compounds, thereby painting a broader and more accurate picture of human exposure. Moreover, the implementation of integrated strategies, involving international research initiatives and biomonitoring programs, is crucial to optimize resource utilization, enhancing efficiency in health risk assessment.

Background In the contiguous United States, environmental justice burdens and disparities in pesticide exposure are prevalent among racial and ethnic minorities and low socioeconomic groups. Identifying the counties with high pesticide exposure and social vulnerability is essential to mitigating risk. Methods We created an index for pesticides commonly used in the contiguous US states from 1992 to 2019, as well as a social vulnerability index. We identified the US counties with elevated pesticide exposure and elevated social vulnerability. The USGS Pesticide National Synthesis Project quantified pesticide exposures at a county scale for frequently applied pesticides from 1992 to 2019 in 3069 contiguous US counties. We retrieved social vulnerability data from five-year estimates (2015–2019) of the American Community Survey (ACS) for selected variables: race, income, and educational attainment, and created a social vulnerability index. We implemented the pesticide index and social vulnerability index using a principal component analysis (PCA) approach. We used an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ICCP risk-based approach to identify the counties with both high pesticide exposure and social vulnerability. Results One hundred and forty-three US counties had high pesticide use and social vulnerability. Illinois, North Carolina, Michigan, California, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Pennsylvania had significantly higher proportions of these high pesticide application and social vulnerability counties than any other state. In conclusion, disparities in pesticide exposure and associated health outcomes due to social vulnerability are widespread across the contiguous US counties in both rural and urban communities. Conclusions Our study will inform regulatory bodies about areas with both high pesticide exposure and social vulnerability areas, as well as facilitate regulatory and public health decisions.
