The escalating utilization of pesticides has led to pronounced environmental contamination, posing a significant threat to agroecosystems. The extensive and persistent global application of these chemicals has been linked to a spectrum of acute and chronic human health concerns. This review paper focuses on the concentrations of airborne pesticides in both indoor and outdoor environments. The collection of diverse pesticide compounds from the atmosphere is examined, with a particular emphasis on active and passive air sampling techniques. Furthermore, a critical evaluation is conducted on the methodologies employed for the extraction and subsequent quantification of airborne pesticides. This analysis takes into consideration the complexities involved in ensuring accurate measurements, highlighting the advancements and limitations of current practices. By synthesizing these aspects, this review aims to foster a more comprehensive and informed comprehension of the intricate dynamics related to the presence and measurement of airborne pesticides. This, in turn, is poised to significantly contribute to the refinement of environmental monitoring strategies and the augmentation of precise risk assessments.
农药使用的不断增加导致了严重的环境污染，对农业生态系统构成了重大威胁。这些化学物质在全球范围内的广泛和持续应用与一系列急性和慢性人类健康问题有关。这篇综述论文聚焦于室内和室外环境中空气中农药的浓度。研究了从大气中收集各种农药化合物的情况，特别强调了主动和被动空气采样技术。此外，对用于提取和随后定量空气中农药的方法进行了批判性评估。该分析考虑了确保准确测量所涉及的复杂性，突出了当前做法的进步和局限性。通过综合这些方面，本综述旨在促进对与空气中农药的存在和测量相关的复杂动态有更全面和深入的理解。反过来，这有望对完善环境监测策略和加强精确的风险评估做出重大贡献。
