Pesticides and related organic micropollutants are chemical substances used in agriculture and industry that persist at low concentrations in the environment. These compounds include insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, pharmaceuticals, and personal care product residues. They can contaminate soil, surface water, groundwater, and food chains, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. Chronic exposure to organic micropollutants is associated with endocrine disruption, neurological effects, reproductive disorders, and increased cancer risk. Environmental monitoring and analytical techniques such as chromatography and mass spectrometry are used to detect and quantify these pollutants. Public health strategies focus on regulating pesticide use, promoting safer alternatives, improving waste management, and monitoring environmental exposure. Reducing the impact of organic micropollutants is essential for protecting biodiversity, food safety, and long-term environmental and population health.
