Wind erosion is one of the major forms of soil degradation on the Canadian prairies. Particulate matter emanating from agricultural soil can be transported long distances in the atmosphere and, if the soil has significant clay content, would contain particles less than 2 μm in diameter. Particles of this size range have been associated with respiratory health effects in humans and if they have pesticides associated with them the risk of health effects may be increased. A field experiment was conducted near Regina, Saskatchewan, to determine the trifluralin (2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-trifluoromethylaniline) content in wind-eroded sediment from a soil-incorporated application of the herbicide into Regina heavy (71%) clay soil. Three wind erosion events were monitored in which the total estimated soil loss was 62.4 Mg ha-1. The concentration of trifluralin in the winderoded sediment did not show a consistently significant increase with sampler height (10 to 100 cm) and, by implication, decreasing sediment particle size. The concentration of trifluralin in the wind-eroded sediment was lower than that in the incorporation layer and in the surface soil (upper 0.5 to 1 cm). The overall wind erosion loss of trifluralin, as a percent of the amount applied, during three erosion events was 1.4%. The results of this study indicate that human exposure to atmospheric particulate matter, especially in agricultural areas, may simultaneously involve exposure to pesticides. Key words: Trifluralin, wind erosion, wind-eroded sediment, heavy clay

System Data

Some of the environmental toxicants from air pollution include particulate matter (PM10), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and ultrafine particles (UFP). Both short- and long-term exposure could result in various degrees of respiratory health outcomes among exposed persons, which rely on the individuals’ health status.Methods. In this paper, we highlight a review of the studies that have used biomarkers to understand the association between air particles exposure and the development of respiratory problems resulting from the damage in the respiratory system. Data from previous epidemiological studies relevant to the application of biomarkers in respiratory system damage reported from exposure to air particles are also summarized.Results. Based on these analyses, the findings agree with the hypothesis that biomarkers are relevant in linking harmful air particles concentrations to increased respiratory health effects. Biomarkers are used in epidemiological studies to provide an understanding of the mechanisms that follow airborne particles exposure in the airway. However, application of biomarkers in epidemiological studies of health effects caused by air particles in both environmental and occupational health is inchoate.Conclusion. Biomarkers unravel the complexity of the connection between exposure to air particles and respiratory health.
