Pesticide Residues in Organic and Conventional Agricultural Soils across Europe: Measured and Predicted Concentrations.

During the growing season of 2021, 201 soil samples from conventionally and organically managed fields from 10 European countries and 8 cropping systems were taken, and 192 residues of synthetic pesticides were analyzed. Pesticide residues were found in 97% of the samples, and 88% of the samples contained mixtures of at least 2 substances. A maximum of 21 substances were found in conventionally managed fields, and a maximum of 12 were found in organically managed fields.

Exposure to DDT and HCH congeners and associated potential health risks through khat (Catha edulis) consumption among adults in South Wollo, Ethiopia.

Khat (Catha edulis) chewing is widespread in the region of East Africa. Even low levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in khat could induce public health concern. In a market-based study, from five popular khat varieties, a total of 35 composite khat samples were analyzed for dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its main transformation products, and four hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers.

(Non-)utilization of pre-hospital emergency care by migrants and non-migrants in Germany.

Objectives: This study was designed to explore the utilization and non-utilization of pre-hospital emergency care by migrants and non-migrants, and the factors that influence this behaviour.

Methods: A cross-sectional representative German survey was conducted in a sample of 2.175 people, 295 of whom had a migration background.

Migration background and overall satisfaction with pre-hospital emergency care.

Objectives: This study was designed to explore how sociodemographic factors of the patient/patient's relatives including migrant status and service-related aspects influence overall satisfaction with pre-hospital emergency care.

Methods: A descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 218 persons (57 migrants and 161 nonmigrants) who had received pre-hospital emergency care directly (as a patient) or indirectly (as a significant other) in Germany. Sociodemographic data and service-related aspects were entered into a hierarchical regression analysis in order to identify their influence on overall satisfaction.
