Supplementary Material for: “Soil Contamination in Europe Unveiled: A Review of Pesticides and Metabolites to Watch”

This dataset supports the systematic review “Soil Contamination in Europe Unveiled: A Review of Pesticides and Metabolites to Watch” and provides full documentation of supplementary data used in the analysis. The dataset includes: - Supplementary_Material.docx: Structured summary tables of the top 10 detected pesticides by country, including regulatory status, type, detection frequency, and number of soils in which each was found. These tables underpin the regional synthesis and visualizations in the review. - Supplementary_Material.xlsx: The raw and organized spreadsheet used to extract and structure pesticide detection frequency data from included studies. - PRISMA_2020_Checklist.docx: Completed PRISMA 2020 checklist documenting adherence to systematic review standards, including study selection, data extraction, synthesis methods, and risk of bias considerations. The purpose of this dataset is to promote transparency, reproducibility, and reusability of the review’s methodology and findings. It is intended for use by researchers, regulators, and environmental monitoring teams investigating pesticide residues in European soils.
