Abstract
Pesticide exposure poses significant environmental and human health concerns, particularly given its extensive use in agricultural activities. The assessment of pesticide risks is a multifaceted and resource-intensive process, often requiring time-consuming toxicity studies. In response to this challenge, advanced computational models, remote sensing, and GIS (geographic information systems) have emerged as efficient and precise tools for evaluating pesticide exposure risks. This comprehensive review aims to provide an in-depth examination of the latest research methodologies for assessing the risks associated with pesticide exposure and their practical applications. These methodologies encompass the assessment of pesticide exposure in air, soil, and water, offering a comprehensive understanding of potential environmental pathways. The paper also delves into the effective utilization of these tools for pesticide risk assessment and examines the potential implications of their findings. The approaches outlined in this review hold promise for a thorough and insightful assessment of pesticide risks and are positioned to equip researchers and policymakers with valuable knowledge to mitigate the impacts of pesticide exposure on human health and the environment.
