“…Focusing on pesticides as target pollutants, the neonicotinoid insecticide acetamiprid (ACT) and the azole fungicide thiabendazole (TBZ) are very common substances, frequently used on Spanish and Greek fruit crops. Even if ACT and TBZ are allowed from the EU legislations without restrictions [ 11 , 12 , 13 ], many studies claim that they are suspicious for toxicity effects on mammals, bacteria, or fish after chronic exposure or in combination with other pesticides [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. For this reason, the efficient agro-industrial wastewater treatment, the complete elimination of these pesticides and the safe disposal of the effluents is of great importance, in order to avoid any environmental threat.…”
