20.500.12556/RUL-151815 Occurrence of pesticide residues in indoor dust of farmworker households across Europe and Argentina Pesticides are widely used as plant protection products (PPPs) in farming systems to preserve crops against pests, weeds, and fungal diseases. Indoor dust can act as a chemical repository revealing occurrence of pesticides in the indoor environment at the time of sampling and the (recent) past. This in turn provides information on the exposure of humans to pesticides in their homes. In the present study, part of the Horizon 2020 funded SPRINT project, the presence of 198 pesticide residues was assessed in 128 indoor dust samples from both conventional and organic farmworker households across Europe, and in Argentina. Mixtures of pesticide residues were found in all dust samples (25–121, min-max; 75, median). Concentrations varied in a wide range (<0.01 ng/g-206 μg/ g), with glyphosate and its degradation product AMPA, permethrin, cypermethrin and piperonyl butoxide found in highest levels. Regarding the type of pesticides, insecticides showed significantly higher levels than herbicides and fungicides. Indoor dust samples related to organic farms showed a significantly lower number of residues, total and individual concentrations than those related to conventional farms. Some pesticides found in indoor dust were no longer approved ones (29 %), with acute/chronic hazards to human health (32 %) and with environmental toxicity (21 %). plant protection products herbicides insecticides fungicides indoor dust organic/conventional farming system fitofarmacevtska sredstva herbicidi insekticidi fungicidi notranji prah ekološko/konvencionalno kmetovanje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-10-20 20:35:14 2023-10-20 20:35:19 2023-10-21 03:45:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 10 str. vol. 905 art. 167797 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 632 0048-9697 169320963 1-s2.0-S0048969723064240-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S0048969723064240-main.pdf 1 673127E261BA47469F2B86662F049F07 38fa3ad6a1a5bf15d4ebb54dce64f7b84389414b70e95e867a10f2128d9c8aa7 a1021b13-6f77-11ee-b452-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176890 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167797 1 6d3dcffe-6f77-11ee-b452-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176889 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
