Non-Occupational Exposure to Pesticides: Experimental Approaches and Analytical Techniques (from 2019).

ABSTRACT: Pesticide residues are a threat to the health of the global population, not only to farmers, applicators, and other pesticide professionals. Humans are exposed through various routes such as food, skin, and inhalation. This study summarizes the different methods to assess and/or estimate human exposure to pesticide residues of the global population. A systematic search was carried out on Scopus and web of science databases of studies on human exposure to pesticide residues since 2019. The methods to estimate human health risk can be categorized as direct (determining the exposure through specific biomarkers in human matrices) or indirect (determining the levels in the environment and food and estimating the occurrence). The role that analytical techniques play was analyzed. In both cases,
