“…After being applied to crops, pesticides may interact with the surfaces of the plants, are exposed to environmental variables such as wind and sunlight, and may be washed of during rain [33]. Te pesticide may be absorbed by the plant surface (waxy cuticle and root surfaces) and go systemically into the plant or it may remain on the plant's surface (contact), and the pesticide can degrade chemically and microbiologically while it is still on the surface of the crop through wash-of, volatilization, photolysis (Figure 1), and other processes [34]. Only 1% of pesticides sprayed on the ground actually kill the intended insect; the other 99% end up polluting the environment (bodies of water, soil, air, and nontarget creatures) through drift, volatilization, leaching, and runof [35].…”

In Ethiopia, using pesticides to manage pests in the growing of fruits and vegetables is a standard practice. Various classes of pesticides have been approved to combat pests, but the majority of those in use now are outdated broad-spectrum insecticides with significant residual effects on crops of freshly eaten fruits and vegetables. This review reveals that Ethiopia’s assessment of the residual pesticide level in fruits and vegetables has been lacking. According to the reviewed literature, crops that are often treated with pesticides in many countries have significant residual pesticide levels. However, Ethiopia has not adequately reported on this issue. Furthermore, due to a lack of knowledge regarding the impact of pesticide residues on human health, Ethiopians frequently use pesticides improperly to control pests in fruits and vegetables. The majority of consumers eat their fruits and vegetables unprocessed, without washing or cooking them first. To reduce the risk of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables for consumer safety and to battle the health effects of toxic chemicals in humans, monitoring pesticide residues and raising awareness about the adverse effects of pesticides on humans are urgently needed. Before they may be registered and sold, pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables as well as in the environment must also undergo proper testing and evaluation. New pesticide generations that have fewer side effects on fruits and vegetables must also be developed. By washing, peeling, canning, or boiling fruits and vegetables before consumption, the detrimental effects of pesticide residues on human health can be minimized.

esticide pollution, such as that caused by glyphosate, affects marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. This agrochemical pollution is exacerbated by climate change, which leads to fluctuations in temperatures and increases in greenhouse gases. These factors stress organisms and their microbiomes. Additionally, the stress caused by climate change forces organisms to adapt to changes in precipitation patterns, resulting in droughts and floods. Consequently, the use of pesticides has also changed, often leading to the application of larger quantities than were previously required, due to the growing resistance of some pests. It has been documented that climate change has driven many organisms to migrate geographically. The interaction between pesticide uses and temperature fluctuations promotes plant diseases, reducing the availability and quality of food, while also causing damage to the reproduction of certain organisms, such as insects, amphibians, and fish, among others. In the case of glyphosate, its intensive and widespread use—primarily due to genetically modified seeds—has led to contamination of virtually all ecosystems with this compound, including humans. Keywords: Pesticides, Glyphosate, Climate change.
