Pesticide contamination has become a global concern. Pesticides can sorb onto suspended particles and deposit into the sedimentary layers of aquatic environments, resulting in ecosystem degradation, pollution, and diseases. Pesticides impact the behavior of aquatic environments by contaminating organic matter in water, which serves as the primary food source for aquatic food webs. Pesticide residues can increase ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, and sulfate in aquatic systems; thus, threatening ecological environment and human health. Several physical, chemical, and biological methodologies have been implemented to effectively remove pesticide traces from aquatic environments. The present review highlights the potential consequences of pesticide exposure on fish and humans, focusing on the (epi)genetic alterations affecting growth, behavior, and immune system. Mitigation strategies (e.g., bioremediation) to prevent/minimize the detrimental impacts of pesticides are also discussed. This review aims to shed light on the awareness in reducing the risk of water pollution for safe and sustainable pesticide management.
农药污染已成为全球关注的问题。农药可吸附在悬浮颗粒上并沉积到水生环境的沉积层中，导致生态系统退化、污染和疾病。农药通过污染水中的有机物质来影响水生环境的行为，而有机物质是水生食物网的主要食物来源。农药残留会增加水生系统中的铵、亚硝酸盐、硝酸盐和硫酸盐；因此，威胁着生态环境和人类健康。已经采用了几种物理、化学和生物方法来有效去除水生环境中的农药痕迹。本综述强调了农药暴露对鱼类和人类的潜在后果，重点关注影响生长、行为和免疫系统的（表观）遗传改变。还讨论了预防/最小化农药有害影响的缓解策略（如生物修复）。本综述旨在提高人们对降低水污染风险以实现安全和可持续农药管理的认识。
