“…Moreover, the duration and intensity of exposure are critical determinants of cancer risk. 109,110 Individuals with prolonged and high levels of exposure to pesticides, such as agricultural workers or those living near sprayed fields, face a higher risk of developing cancer. 111 Additionally, the timing of exposure is crucial, as certain periods of life, such as prenatal or childhood exposure, may be more susceptible to the adverse effects of pesticides on cellular development.…”

Atrazine is a widely used chlorinated triazine herbicide in agricultural settings, which has raised concerns over its potential adverse effects on human health. The extensive application of atrazine has resulted in its pervasive presence in the environment, contaminating soil, groundwater, and surface water. While earlier research suggested that atrazine is unlikely to pose a health concern, recent evidence has indicated the necessity to reassess this point of view. This review aims to assess the recent evidence on atrazine’s adverse effects on human health, focusing on (i) Cancer, (ii) Metabolic Diseases, (iii) Reproductive System, (iv) Neural System, and (v) Epigenetic Effects. Strategies to mitigate atrazine contamination and limitations of previous studies are also discussed. We strongly believe that further investigation is necessary to determine the potential detrimental consequences of atrazine in humans, particularly in developing countries, where herbicides are widely used without stringent safety regulations. Therefore, the current review will be beneficial for guiding future research and regulatory measures concerning the use of atrazine.
