Toxicological and ecotoxicological pressure due to Pesticide use in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba
'Instituto Nacional de Investigacion y Tecnologia Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA)', 2021Co-Authors: López-dávila Edelbis, Houbraken Michael, De Rop Jasmine, Du Laing Gijs, Romero Osvaldo, Spanoghe PieterAbstract:Aim of study: To quantify the toxicity and ecotoxicological pressure of Pesticides in Sancti Spíritus province, Cuba, between 2011 and 2014.Material and methods: A longitudinal descriptive study was designed for the study period, to identify potential risks to the environment and human health associated with the use of Pesticides. In order to determine the toxicity and ecotoxicity of Pesticide use, ƩSeq (Spread equivalents), POCER (Pesticide Occupational and Environmental Risk) indicator, and the Toxic Load (TL) methodology of the Plant Health Cuban Institute were used.Main results: Corresponding to 62 chemical families, 124 active ingredients were applied in the province during the study period. Organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, inorganic compounds (such as copper), dithiocarbamates, aryloxyphenoxypropionates, neonicotinoids, sulfonylurea, triazoles, and organochlorines predominated due to their frequency of use. Use of toxic-Pesticides, lack of personal protection equipment amount others made workers, residents and applicators the toxicological modules with the highest risk of exposure. From the POCER results we found that aquatic organisms, persistence, and groundwater are the modules with the highest ecotoxicological pressure.Research highlights: With the use of the POCER indicator as well as ƩSeq, a more accurate assessment of toxicity and ecotoxicity from certain Pesticide can be done instead of the TL equation currently used in Cuba. In addition substitution of the most toxic Pesticides by less toxic ones could help to reduce Synthetic Pesticide pressure on humans and the environment. This study can help to develop policies and management practices to reduce the hazards of Synthetic Pesticide use in Cuba

Toxicological and ecotoxicological pressure assessment on the use of Synthetic Pesticides in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba = Evaluación de la presión toxicológica y ecotoxicológica del uso de plaguicidas sintéticos en Sancti Spíritus, Cuba
'Corporacion Colombiana de Investigacion Agropecuaria (Corpoica)', 2021Co-Authors: López-dávila Edelbis, Houbraken Michael, De Rop Jasmine, Du Laing Gijs, Romero Romero Osvaldo, Spanoghe PieterAbstract:A study to quantify the toxicity and ecotoxicological pressure of Pesticides in the Sancti Spíritus province, Cuba, was carried out between 2011 and 2014. A longitudinal descriptive work was designed for the study period to identify potential risks to the environment and also to human health associated with the use of Pesticides in the country. The Spread Equivalents (ƩSeq) and Pesticide Occupational and Environmental Risk (POCER) indicators, as well as the Toxic Load (TL) methodology of Instituto Cubano de Sanidad Vegetal, were used to determine the toxicity and ecotoxicity of Pesticide use. One hundred and twenty-four active ingredients corresponding to 62 chemical families were applied in the province during the study period. Organophosphates, triazoles, sulfonylurea, pyrethroids, inorganic compounds (such as copper), carbamates, dithiocarbamates, neonicotinoids, aryloxyphenoxypropionates, and organochlorines predominated due to their use frequency. The use of toxic Pesticides, and the lack of personal protection equipment, among others, made workers, residents, and applicators the toxicological modules with the highest risk of exposure. On the other hand, aquatic organisms, and the persistence of the Pesticides in the soil and in groundwater, are the modules with the highest ecotoxicological pressure. By using the POCER and ƩSeq indicators, a more accurate toxicity and ecotoxicity assessment for certain Pesticides can be performed in Cuba, in comparison to the one obtained when using only the TL equation currently employed in the country. In addition, substituting the most toxic Pesticides (e.g., parathion, endosulfan, bifenthrin, copper oxychloride, mancozeb, paraquat, diquat, and ametryn) with less toxic ones (e.g., cypermethrin, tebuconazole, triadimenol, and bispyribac-sodium) could help reduce Synthetic Pesticide pressure on humans and the environment

Se realizó un estudio para cuantificar la toxicidad y la presión ecotoxicológica de los plaguicidas sintéticos en la provincia de Sancti Spíritus (Cuba) entre 2011 y 2014. Este trabajo puede ayudar a desarrollar políticas y prácticas de gestión para reducir los peligros del uso de plaguicidas sintéticos en el país. A través de un estudio longitudinal descriptivo, se identificaron los riesgos potenciales para el medioambiente y la salud humana asociados con el uso de plaguicidas. Para determinar la toxicidad y ecotoxicidad del uso de plaguicidas, se utilizaron los indicadores de aplicaciones equivalentes (ƩSeq) y de riesgos laborales y medioambientales (POCER, por su sigla en inglés), además de la metodología de carga tóxica (TL, por su sigla en inglés) del Instituto Cubano de Sanidad Vegetal. Durante el periodo de estudio, 124 ingredientes activos correspondientes a 62 familias químicas fueron aplicados. Por su frecuencia de uso, predominaron los organofosforados, triazoles, piretroides, compuestos inorgánicos (como el cobre), carbamatos, ditiocarbamatos, neonicotinoides, ariloxifenoxipropionato y organoclorados. El uso de plaguicidas tóxicos y la falta de equipos de protección personal, entre otros aspectos, hicieron que los trabajadores, los residentes y los aplicadores fueran los módulos humanos con el mayor riesgo de exposición. Por otro lado, los módulos de mayor presión ecotoxicológica son los organismos acuáticos, la persistencia en el suelo y el agua subterránea. Con el uso de los indicadores POCER y ƩSeq, se puede realizar una evaluación más precisa de la toxicidad y la ecotoxicidad en Cuba, en comparación con la obtenida al utilizar solo la ecuación TL, como se hace actualmente en el país. La sustitución de los plaguicidas más tóxicos (paratión, endosulfán, bifentrina, oxicloruro de cobre, mancozeb, paraquat, diquat y ametrina) por otros menos tóxicos (cipermetrina, tebuconazol, triadimenol y bispiribac-sodio) podría ayudar a reducir la presión de los plaguicidas sintéticos sobre los seres humanos y el medioambiente

Toxicological and ecotoxicological pressure due to Pesticide use in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba
'Instituto Nacional de Investigacion y Tecnologia Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA)', 2021Co-Authors: López-dávila Edelbis, Houbraken Michael, De Rop Jasmine, Du Laing Gijs, Romero Osvaldo, Spanoghe PieterAbstract:Aim of study: To quantify the toxicity and ecotoxicological pressure of Pesticides in Sancti Spíritus province, Cuba, between 2011 and 2014.Material and methods: A longitudinal descriptive study was designed for the study period, to identify potential risks to the environment and human health associated with the use of Pesticides. In order to determine the toxicity and ecotoxicity of Pesticide use, ƩSeq (Spread equivalents), POCER (Pesticide Occupational and Environmental Risk) indicator, and the Toxic Load (TL) methodology of the Plant Health Cuban Institute were used.Main results: Corresponding to 62 chemical families, 124 active ingredients were applied in the province during the study period. Organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, inorganic compounds (such as copper), dithiocarbamates, aryloxyphenoxypropionates, neonicotinoids, sulfonylurea, triazoles, and organochlorines predominated due to their frequency of use. Use of toxic-Pesticides, lack of personal protection equipment amount others made workers, residents and applicators the toxicological modules with the highest risk of exposure. From the POCER results we found that aquatic organisms, persistence, and groundwater are the modules with the highest ecotoxicological pressure.Research highlights: With the use of the POCER indicator as well as ƩSeq, a more accurate assessment of toxicity and ecotoxicity from certain Pesticide can be done instead of the TL equation currently used in Cuba. In addition substitution of the most toxic Pesticides by less toxic ones could help to reduce Synthetic Pesticide pressure on humans and the environment. This study can help to develop policies and management practices to reduce the hazards of Synthetic Pesticide use in Cuba

Toxicological and ecotoxicological pressure assessment on the use of Synthetic Pesticides in Sancti Spíritus, Cuba = Evaluación de la presión toxicológica y ecotoxicológica del uso de plaguicidas sintéticos en Sancti Spíritus, Cuba
'Corporacion Colombiana de Investigacion Agropecuaria (Corpoica)', 2021Co-Authors: López-dávila Edelbis, Houbraken Michael, De Rop Jasmine, Du Laing Gijs, Romero Romero Osvaldo, Spanoghe PieterAbstract:A study to quantify the toxicity and ecotoxicological pressure of Pesticides in the Sancti Spíritus province, Cuba, was carried out between 2011 and 2014. A longitudinal descriptive work was designed for the study period to identify potential risks to the environment and also to human health associated with the use of Pesticides in the country. The Spread Equivalents (ƩSeq) and Pesticide Occupational and Environmental Risk (POCER) indicators, as well as the Toxic Load (TL) methodology of Instituto Cubano de Sanidad Vegetal, were used to determine the toxicity and ecotoxicity of Pesticide use. One hundred and twenty-four active ingredients corresponding to 62 chemical families were applied in the province during the study period. Organophosphates, triazoles, sulfonylurea, pyrethroids, inorganic compounds (such as copper), carbamates, dithiocarbamates, neonicotinoids, aryloxyphenoxypropionates, and organochlorines predominated due to their use frequency. The use of toxic Pesticides, and the lack of personal protection equipment, among others, made workers, residents, and applicators the toxicological modules with the highest risk of exposure. On the other hand, aquatic organisms, and the persistence of the Pesticides in the soil and in groundwater, are the modules with the highest ecotoxicological pressure. By using the POCER and ƩSeq indicators, a more accurate toxicity and ecotoxicity assessment for certain Pesticides can be performed in Cuba, in comparison to the one obtained when using only the TL equation currently employed in the country. In addition, substituting the most toxic Pesticides (e.g., parathion, endosulfan, bifenthrin, copper oxychloride, mancozeb, paraquat, diquat, and ametryn) with less toxic ones (e.g., cypermethrin, tebuconazole, triadimenol, and bispyribac-sodium) could help reduce Synthetic Pesticide pressure on humans and the environment

Se realizó un estudio para cuantificar la toxicidad y la presión ecotoxicológica de los plaguicidas sintéticos en la provincia de Sancti Spíritus (Cuba) entre 2011 y 2014. Este trabajo puede ayudar a desarrollar políticas y prácticas de gestión para reducir los peligros del uso de plaguicidas sintéticos en el país. A través de un estudio longitudinal descriptivo, se identificaron los riesgos potenciales para el medioambiente y la salud humana asociados con el uso de plaguicidas. Para determinar la toxicidad y ecotoxicidad del uso de plaguicidas, se utilizaron los indicadores de aplicaciones equivalentes (ƩSeq) y de riesgos laborales y medioambientales (POCER, por su sigla en inglés), además de la metodología de carga tóxica (TL, por su sigla en inglés) del Instituto Cubano de Sanidad Vegetal. Durante el periodo de estudio, 124 ingredientes activos correspondientes a 62 familias químicas fueron aplicados. Por su frecuencia de uso, predominaron los organofosforados, triazoles, piretroides, compuestos inorgánicos (como el cobre), carbamatos, ditiocarbamatos, neonicotinoides, ariloxifenoxipropionato y organoclorados. El uso de plaguicidas tóxicos y la falta de equipos de protección personal, entre otros aspectos, hicieron que los trabajadores, los residentes y los aplicadores fueran los módulos humanos con el mayor riesgo de exposición. Por otro lado, los módulos de mayor presión ecotoxicológica son los organismos acuáticos, la persistencia en el suelo y el agua subterránea. Con el uso de los indicadores POCER y ƩSeq, se puede realizar una evaluación más precisa de la toxicidad y la ecotoxicidad en Cuba, en comparación con la obtenida al utilizar solo la ecuación TL, como se hace actualmente en el país. La sustitución de los plaguicidas más tóxicos (paratión, endosulfán, bifentrina, oxicloruro de cobre, mancozeb, paraquat, diquat y ametrina) por otros menos tóxicos (cipermetrina, tebuconazol, triadimenol y bispiribac-sodio) podría ayudar a reducir la presión de los plaguicidas sintéticos sobre los seres humanos y el medioambiente
