“…7,8 The penetration of pyridaben into ground water and surface water is limited due to its low solubility in water (0.22 mg L −1 at 20 °C). 2 Nevertheless, as an acaricide used worldwide, pyridaben has been detected in many rivers around the world at concentrations of up to 0.49 μg L −1 , 9,10 which is higher than the permitted value of 0.1 μg L −1 specified for drinking water by the European Union (EU). 11 Ma et al showed that pyridaben can cause severe cardiac malformations, functional abnormalities, and disrupts heart development gene expression in zebrafish.…”

“…The detection frequency of pyridaben was relatively low in sediment-river-water systems, sediment-seawater system, and surface water from tropical river basins in China ( Zheng et al, 2016 ; Tan et al, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2022 ). A three-year monitoring program of Abou Ali River located in the north of Lebanon showed that the detection frequency of pyridaben in surface water and groundwater were 18% and 20%, respectively, with a maximum concentration of 0.49 μg/L ( Jabali et al, 2020 ).…”

Pyridaben is an acaricide widely used around the world to control phytophagous mites, white flies, aphids, and thrips. It is highly toxic to nontarget organisms such as predatory mites, bees, and fishes. Therefore, the occurrence and removal of pyridaben in food and the environment are worthy of concern. This mini-review focuses on pyridaben residue levels in crops, aquatic systems, and soils, as well as the green synthesis and removal of pyridaben. During the period of 2010–2022, pyridaben was reported in monitoring studies on fruits, vegetables, herbs, bee products, aquatic systems, and soils. Vegetable and agricultural soil samples exhibited the highest detection rates and residue levels. One-pot synthesis offers a green chemistry and sustainable alternative for the synthesis of pyridaben. Among traditional home treatments, peeling is the most effective way to remove pyridaben from crops. Magnetic solid-phase extraction technology has emerged as a powerful tool for the adsorption and separation of pyridaben. Photocatalytic methods using TiO2 as a catalyst were developed as advanced oxidation processes for the degradation of pyridaben in aqueous solutions. Current gaps in pyridaben removal were proposed to provide future development directions for minimizing the exposure risk of pyridaben residues to human and nontarget organisms.

“…Due to the presence of pesticides, water pollution is a potential risk not only for human health but also for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Studies in the literature have shown how the increase in pesticides pollution in surface water and groundwater is influenced not only by anthropic activities [51] but also by the pedoclimatic conditions of Mediterranean Countries and the sudden climatic changes of recent years [52].…”

According to the United Nations (2020), since the 1980s, the global overall rate of water use has grown by 1% per year, and it is projected that, by 2050, humanity’s water footprint could exceed 30% of current levels. This situation is in stark contrast to the path toward the Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 6, “clean water and sanitation”, which also influences Goal 14, “life below water”, and Goal 15, “life on land”. This is because the availability of water directly affects the food security and production capacity of each Country, and therefore its management is a crucial issue worthy of particular attention. Problems related to water security are particularly evident in the Mediterranean area, which is already facing high environmental challenges. It is an area severely affected by global warming; thus, it is one of the most vulnerable environments to climate change globally. It follows that the improper management of water resources could further worsen an already alarming situation. This research aims to study the main water-related challenges that Mediterranean Countries face, highlighting the significant problems that weaken each Country. In this regard, the indicators relating to Goal 6 were considered, to define each Country’s current state. However, for a correct understanding, the main problems these Countries face were researched through a critical review of the literature (Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science). In this way, we were able to underline the effects of human activities on the hydrosphere and the repercussions on various ecosystems, following the drivers-pressures-state-impact-response causal framework. The results suggest that there is still a long way for Mediterranean Countries to progress toward Agenda 2030, as they face problems related to chemical (nitrate, microplastics, heavy metals, pesticides, etc.) and biological (E. coli and other microorganisms) pollution, as well as saline aquifers, absent or obsolete infrastructures, and transboundary basins. Hence, this study aims to provide valuable tools for a better evaluation of water management in Mediterranean Countries.
