Quantification, distribution and cancer risk assessment of pesticides in mango orchards of Kerala, India
ABSTRACTMuthalamada in the Western Ghats has been a prominent mango-cultivating region of Asia for the last three decades. In the present study, soil samples from Muthalamada mango orchards were analysed for pesticide contents and estimated associated cancer risk indices. Sixteen pesticides, including organochlorines, organophosphates, synthetic pyrethroids, and carbamates were detected in the region. The concentration of chlorpyrifos (2.05–720.27 mg/kg) was the highest level reported from any agroecosystem in India. Community health risk assessment indicates high carcinogenic risk and greater susceptibility in children. The study demonstrates the need for immediate interventions to reduce the ecological and human cancer risks in the mango orchards.KEYWORDS: PesticidesoilcarcinogenMuthalamada: health risk AcknowledgmentsThis research was funded by Kerala state E-grantz fellowship. We would like to thank all the farmers in Muthalamada Panchayat for their collaboration.

期刊介绍:
For more than 45 years, the International Journal of Environmental Studies has been pre-eminent in its field. The environment is understood to comprise the natural and the man-made, and their interactions; including such matters as pollution, health effects, analytical methods, political approaches, social impacts etc. Papers favouring an interdisciplinary approach are preferred, because the evidence of more than 45 years appears to be that many intellectual tools and many causes and effects are at issue in any environmental problem - and its solution. This does not mean that a single focus or a narrow view is unwelcome; provided always that the evidence is indicated and the method is robust. Pragmatic decision-making and applicable policies are subjects of interest, together with the problems in establishing facts about dynamic systems where long periods of observation and precise measurement may be difficult to secure. In other words, a systems or holistic approach to the environment and a scientific analysis are complementary, and the distinction between ’hard’ and ’soft’ science is bridged in most of the papers published. These may be on any item in the agenda of environmental science: land, water, food, conservation, population, risk analysis, energy, economics of ecological and non-ecological approaches, social advocacy of arguments for change, legal measures, implications of urbanism, energy choices, waste disposal, recycling, transport systems and other issues of mass society. There is concern also for marginal areas, under-developed societies, minorities, species loss; and indeed no element of the subject of environmental studies, seen in an international and interactive mode, is excluded.
