The study conducted in 2020/2021 investigated factors influencing smallholder farmers' adherence to recommended pesticide safety practices in northwestern Ethiopia. The survey involving 50 farmers in Fogera and 53 in Mecha assessed pesticide use practices and perceptions, aiming to reveal common challenges in pesticide management. Survey data highlighted significant pesticide application and barriers related to adopting personal protective equipment (PPE), proper pesticide storage, integrated pest management (IPM), and safe disposal of containers.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>Statistical analyses indicated non-significant differences between districts regarding these practices, underscoring universal issues such as economic constraints, limited resource access, and inadequate awareness. Crops like maize, faba bean, and cabbage showed high pesticide usage rates in both districts without statistically significant differences, emphasizing their cumulative impact on food safety. This finding underscores the urgent need for comprehensive interventions. Measures such as subsidized PPE, infrastructure development for safe pesticide storage, enhanced educational campaigns, and strengthened regulatory frameworks are crucial to promote sustainable agricultural practices and mitigate health and environmental risks. In conclusion, the study identifies widespread barriers to effective pesticide management among smallholder farmers in Fogera and Mecha, including economic limitations and resource constraints. Addressing these challenges necessitates a multifaceted strategy that includes subsidized PPE, improved storage infrastructure, and intensified educational initiatives to foster sustainable practices and safeguard both human health and the environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":9234,"journal":{"name":"BMC Research Notes","volume":"18 1","pages":"177"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12004810/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143966001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ESW was collected from local bakeries in Cairo, Egypt, and prepared for use as bioadsorbent. All raw water samples were treated with prepared ESW and tested for initial and end concentrations of PTEs and microbial load contents. Moreover, Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX) was performed to test ESW characterization properties before and after raw water treatment using ESW. Results obtained by SEM recorded irregular rhombus-like stereo structures with tiny pore structures and lamellar structures with enlarged pore architectures dispersed randomly on the surface before ESW treatment. After ESW treatment, SEM-EDX results indicated a regular and adhesive appearance on the surface of ESW. Moreover, current results revealed that bioremoval efficiency reached 94.4, 64.7, and 51.4% for removing lead, cadmium, and iron, using ESW, respectively. Moreover, ESW was highly effective in eliminating Escherichia coli throughout the first 4 h of contacting and inhibiting 70% of the microbial load incubated at 37 °C, and complete inhibition occurred after 24 h of contacting process.
