TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes the recent scientific reports regarding soil enzymes and activities of microorganisms as well as changes occurring in underground biochemistry under the influence of pesticides, and investigates pesticides degradation in soil and prevention of their negative effects on soil biological activity.

TL;DR: One day after application this herbicide, concentration of DHA in soil was lower than in control plots, but after 21days was observed trend of increasing DHA, indicating that the application of mesotrione affected on D HA in the soil.

TL;DR: The results suggest that application of sludge into the soil did not influence the concentration of 2-3-ring, 4-ring and 5-6-ring PAHs, and that benzo[a]pyrene was the most dominant compound in samples collected in both years.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss selected herbicides and fungicides regarding their mode of action and their influence on basic oxidative stress parameters and endocrine disruption properties tested in selected cell cultures in vitro.

TL;DR: The status of the residue level of most persistent organochlorinated pesticides (OCP) in soil and agricultural crops should be monitored regularly and the frequency of occurrence and contamination levels of OCP residues in samples of soils, cereals, fruit and vegetables from different geographical regions such as Central Asia and East Europe were determined.
