“…Engineered to be lethal to pests, their non-selective nature often harms non-target organisms, reinforced by their dispersion throughout environmental compartments due to application methods and prevailing environmental conditions [93,94]. Despite well-documented damage to ecosystems and human health over the years, global application rates have not diminished [95][96][97]. Remarkably, only one paper addressing the contamination of water bodies with pesticides and the utilization of GTS was identified in this review.…”

Transitional waters (TWs) are relevant ecological and economical ecosystems that include estuaries, deltas, bays, wetlands, marshes, coastal lakes, and coastal lagoons and play a central role in providing food, protecting coastal environments, and regulating nutrients. However, human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, tourism, and agriculture are threatening these ecosystems, which results in contamination and habitat degradation. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate contamination in TW to develop effective management and protection strategies. This study analyses the application of geospatial technologies (GTS) for monitoring and predicting contaminant distribution in TW. Cartography, interpolation, complex spatial methods, and remote sensing were applied to assess contamination profiles by heavy metals, and persistent organic compounds, and analyze contamination indices or some physicochemical water parameters. It is concluded that integrating environmental and demographic data with GTS would help to identify critical points of contamination and promote ecosystem resilience to ensure long-term health and human well-being. This review comprehensively analyzes the methods, indicators, and indices used to assess contamination in transitional waters in conjunction with GTS. It offers a valuable foundation for planning future research on pollution in these types of waters or other similar water bodies worldwide.

“…It was the first synthetic insecticide chemical used all over the world. It has been used as an insecticide to combat pests in agriculture and diseases like malaria and typhus [ [7] , [8] , [9] ]. Recently, most nations banned the use of DDT because of its harmful effects on animals and human health through the food chain.…”

“…According to many research reports, less than 1 % of all DDT pesticides used are utilized to target pests; the remaining DDT pesticides are precipitated in the nearby water and soil. The remaining DDT in the ecosystem has a negative impact on the ecology [ 12 , 9 ]. DDT and its residuals have been found in both industrialized and developing nations' environments [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…In recent decades, practices to improve physicochemical properties, increase soil fertility and promote healthy plant growth have been developed and promoted, which are based on crop rotation practices, the use of crops of coverage, the application of no-till agriculture, precision agriculture, among others [ 6 ]. In fact, practices based on the use of agrochemicals are widely used to increase crop yields; however, excessive, and indiscriminate use generates harmful effects on the health of soils and surrounding water bodies [ 7 ]. Consequently, soil conditioners have acquired relevance through being used as natural or synthetic materials, which modulate different characteristics of the soil, such as its structure, texture, water retention capacity, pH, and nutrient content.…”

The aim of this work was to synthesize and study the functional properties of polymer-clay nanocomposite (PCNCs) based on poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (NaPSS) and two types of clay in the dispersed phase: bentonite and kaolinite, in order to advance in the development of new geomimetic materials for agricultural and environmental applications. In this study, the effect of adding high concentrations of clay (10–20 wt. %) on the structural and functional properties of a polymer–clay nanocomposite was evaluated. The characterization by infrared spectroscopy made it possible to show that the PCNCs had a hybrid nature structure through the identification of typical vibration bands of the clay matrix and NaPSS. In addition, scanning electron microscopy allowed us to verify its hybrid composition and an amorphous particle-like morphology. The thermal characterization showed degradation temperatures higher than ~300 °C with Tg values higher than 100 °C and variables depending on the clay contents. In addition, the PCNCs showed a high water-retention capacity (>2900%) and cation exchange capacity (>112 meq/100 g). Finally, the results demonstrated the ability of geomimetic conditioners to mimic the structure and functional properties of soils, suggesting their potential application in improving soil quality for plant growth.
