Agriculture Development, Pesticide Application and Its Impact on the Environment.
Muyesaier Tudi,Muyesaier Tudi,Huada Daniel Ruan,Huada Daniel Ruan,Li Wang,Li Wang,Jia Lyu,Jia Lyu,Ross Sadler,Des Connell,Cordia Chu,Dung Tri Phung +11 more
TL;DR: It is essential to discuss the agricultural development process; the historical perspective, types and specific uses of pesticides; and pesticide behavior, its contamination, and adverse effects on the natural environment to provide the scientific information necessary for pesticide application and management in the future.

Heavy Metals and Pesticides Toxicity in Agricultural Soil and Plants: Ecological Risks and Human Health Implications.
Ahmed Alengebawy,Sara Taha Abdelkhalek,Sara Taha Abdelkhalek,Sundas Rana Qureshi,Man-Qun Wang +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review focusing on the toxic effect of heavy metals (cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn)) and pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides) adversely influencing the agricultural ecosystem (plant and soil) and human health is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment technologies for emerging contaminants in wastewater treatment plants: A review
TL;DR: The treatment technologies currently engaged for ECs removal in WWTPs are reviewed for further possible upgrades of the existing designs and results indicate that the fate and distribution of ECs can be approximately estimated based on physicochemical properties like octanol-water partitioning coefficient and solid-water distribution coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indoor Air Pollution, Related Human Diseases, and Recent Trends in the Control and Improvement of Indoor Air Quality.
TL;DR: It is predicted that the development of novel materials for sensors, IAQ-monitoring systems, and smart homes is a promising strategy for control and enhancement of IAQ in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental pollution and kidney diseases
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight epidemiological evidence for the association between kidney disease and environmental pollutants, including air pollution, heavy metal pollution and other environmental risk factors, and discuss the potential biological mechanisms that link exposure to environmental pollutants to kidney damage.

Impact of pesticides use in agriculture: their benefits and hazards.
TL;DR: Impact of pesticides use in agriculture: their benefits and hazards, and the risks and benefits to human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pesticide Exposure, Safety Issues, and Risk Assessment Indicators
TL;DR: New tools or techniques with greater reliability than those already existing are needed to predict the potential hazards of pesticides and thus contribute to reduction of the adverse effects on human health and the environment.

The global distribution of fatal pesticide self-poisoning: systematic review
TL;DR: Pesticide self-poisoning accounts for about one-third of the world's suicides, and epidemiological and toxicological data suggest that many of these deaths might be prevented if the use of pesticides most toxic to humans was restricted, pesticides could be safely stored in rural communities, and the accessibility and quality of care for poisoning could be improved.
