Abstract

Pesticides are frequently sprayed in greenhouses to ensure crop yields, where airborne particulate matter (PM) may serve as a carrier in depositing and transporting pesticides. However, little is known about the occurrence and fate of PM-borne pesticides in greenhouses. Herein, we examined the distribution, dissipation, and transformation of six commonly used pesticides (imidacloprid, acetamiprid, prochloraz, triadimefon, hexaconazole, and tebuconazole) in greenhouse PM (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) after application as well as the associated human exposure risks via inhalation. During 35 days of experiment, the six pesticides were detected in all PM samples, and exhibited size- and time-dependent distribution characteristics, with the majority of them (>64.6%) accumulated in PM1. About 1.0–16.4% of initially measured pesticides in PM remained after 35 days, and a total of 12 major transformation products were elucidated, with six of them newly identified. The inhalation of PM could be an important route of human exposure to pesticides in the greenhouse, where the estimated average daily human inhalation dose (ADDinh) of the six individual pesticides was 2.1–1.2 × 104 pg/kg day–1 after application (1–35 days). Our findings highlight the occurrence of pesticides/transformation products in greenhouse PM, and their potential inhalation risks should be further concerned.
