Environmental monitoring of organochlorine pesticides in Apa Dam Lake (Türkiye): water and sediment contamination

Multi-Residue Occurrence and Environmental Risk Assessment in Surface Waters Under Intensive Agricultural Influence

Intensive agricultural activities have increased organic pollutant contamination of water bodies, posing significant risks to water quality, aquatic ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health. This study investigated the occurrence of 40 pesticides in surface waters of the Pirapó River Basin and assessed their potentia...

Decadal monitoring of trace organic contaminants in common carp from the Han and Yeongsan Rivers

Emerging contaminants in freshwater fish pose ecological and human health risks, yet long-term tissue-residue data for fish muscle remain scarce. This study assessed the decadal accumulation of trace organic contaminants in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from two major Korean rivers, the Han and Yeongsan Rivers. Sixty-n...

Integrated Assessment of Organochlorine Pesticide Residues in Soil and Pepper: Ecological and Human Health Risks

This study investigated organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residues in agricultural soils and pepper samples to assess their ecological and human health risks. Eighty soil samples (pre‐[40] and post‐[40] pesticide application) and 40 pepper samples were analysed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Bioaccumulati...

Environmental Distribution and Human Health Risks of Heavy Metals in the River Jhelum, Kashmir Himalaya

Occurrence and human health implications of organochlorine pesticides in Nile tilapia from Al Massira Reservoir (Morocco) across consumer groups

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are persistent environmental contaminants that continue to occur in aquatic ecosystems due to their high stability and bioaccumulative properties. This study quantified the OCP residues in the muscle tissue of Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) collected from the Al Massira Reservoi...

Pesticides and Metal Contaminants in Lake Chapala, Mexico: Differences in Bioaccumulation and Associated Health Risks.

Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest freshwater lake and primary drinking water source for approximately 5 million people, lacks comprehensive pesticide and metal contamination assessment across compartments. Unlike previous single-matrix or single-class studies, this is the first seasonal multi-matrix assessment of 17 pesti...
