Summary: This study aims to establish a reasonable prediction model of pesticide poisoning and predict the future trend of pesticide poisoning in Jiangsu Province. The models used for prediction and comparative analysis include the Grey model (GM(1,1)), the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA), and the exponential smoothing model. The Holt-Winters multiplicative model has the best fitting effect and the highest accuracy in predicting the number of pesticide poisoning. The predictions for the next 3 years show that there will be 454, 410, and 368 pesticide poisonings, with a total of 1232, according to the Holt-Winters multiplicative model. This paper provides a basis for the formulation of pesticide-related policies in the future.

Summary: The study successfully characterized pesticide pollution in 13 streams in Western Kenya using minimal adaptations of the SPEAR(pesticides) index. The East African SPEAR(pesticides) index correlated well with the overall toxicity of 30 pesticides measured in stream water. The index also correlated with the risk of surface run-off from agricultural fields, and it was independent of organic pollution and highly specific to pesticides.

Summary: The study aimed to detect pesticide residue in tomatoes using visible/near-infrared spectroscopy, with the best model using the Smoothing Moving Average pre-processing method. Reflective spectroscopy was found to be a non-destructive, low-cost, and rapid technique for assessing the health of tomatoes contaminated with pesticide.

Summary: Spinach is commonly consumed for its health-related properties, but detecting pesticide residues in spinach has become a major concern. This study evaluated the effects of various processing steps on pesticide content in spinach, finding that a 2-minute blanching treatment effectively reduced pesticide residues, particularly propamocarb and chlorantraniliprole.

Summary: In this study, a modified QuEChERS method was used to detect six pesticide residues in chrysanthemum samples. The method involved acetonitrile-2.5% formic acid extraction with EN QuEChERS method extraction salts, followed by purification with PSA/GCB/C18. The recovery rates of pesticides were satisfactory and the transfer rates of pyraclostrobin in chrysanthemum were determined. The method may be suitable for quantitative detection of chemical pesticides in chrysanthemums and pyraclostrobin posed a negligible risk to human health.

Summary: This study investigated pesticide contamination and potential risks in a medlar planting site, with residues of 4 compounds found in the samples. Imidacloprid was the most distributed pesticide, with avermectin, carbendazim, and glyphosate also detected in various samples. The study suggests regulating agrochemical usage to minimize health risks posed by pesticide residues.

Summary: Nanozymes are advanced nanomaterials that mimic natural enzymes and are ideal candidates for real-time and remote environmental monitoring and remediation due to their better structural stability. Through innovative nano-architectural design and transduction methodologies, Nanozymes have made significant progress in detecting heavy metal ions, pesticides, and organic pollutants. Strategies for remediating persistent organic pollutants are also discussed in this review.
