Greenhouse experiments were carried out aiming to characterize-morphologically and biochemically-resistant and susceptible plants of C. sumatrensis. Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the behavior of morphological variables such as leaf area, height, and dry biomass weight, without application of paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride). Other experiments were conducted with two rates of paraquat application (0 and 800 g a.i ha-1); physiological variables were assessed at 2, 4, and 24 h after application (HAA), and plants were collected at 4 HAA for biochemical analyses of antioxidant enzymes and cell membrane peroxidation level. Without herbicide application, paraquat-resistant populations had higher dry biomass, leaf area, liquid photosynthetic rate, carboxylation efficiency, and stomatal conductance. The recovery of the photosynthetic apparatus by resistant plants after paraquat application is rapid (16 HAA) and, in general, presents physiological improvements in terms of photosynthetic rate and carboxylation efficiency. After paraquat treatment, the antioxidant system enzymes of resistant plants showed increased activity and decreased membrane peroxidation, indicating that these enzymes play an important role in the resistance mechanism of these plants.

The copper ion was detected rapidly by a novel sensing membrane in this paper for its damage to health and the environment. CdSe/ZnS QDs modified polyethersulfone membrane (QDs@PESM) was made by phase-inversion method using a membrane separation technique and quantum dots (QDs). When the sample passed through the membrane, the copper ions in the sample caused the membrane's fluorescence to be quenched. The fluorescence quenching value of the membrane is used to calculate the concentration of copper ions. With R2= 0.9964, Cu2+could be quantitatively detected over a wide concentration range (10-1000 μg/L). The method's LOD and LOQ were 4.27 and 14.23 μg/L, respectively. When the CdSe/ZnS QDs@PESM was used to analyze Cu2+ in various real drinks, including well water, baijiu, orange juice, beer, and milk, the recovery ranged from 79.1 to 123.9%, indicating that the CdSe/ZnS QDs@PESM can be used as a rapid, simple and reliable method to determine Cu2+ in various matrices.

The present study assessed the removal of fenamiphos, imidacloprid, and oxamyl pesticides from water using algal Nannochloropsis oculata biomass. Several factors, such as algal biomass concentration, incubation time, and pesticide concentration, were studied for their impact on pesticide removal. Analysis and quantification of pesticides by rapid HPLC have been developed and validated. The optimum conditions were obtained at 15 min, 50 mg/L of pesticide concentration, and 4,500 mg/L of the algal biomass with 92.24% and 90.43% removal for fenamiphos and imidacloprid, respectively. While optimum parameters of 10 min incubation, 250 mg/L of pesticide concentration, and 2,750 mg/L of the algal biomass exhibited 67.34% removal for oxamyl. N. oculata, marine microalgae, successively removed different concentrations of the tested pesticides from water, and the algal biomass showed a potential reduction of pesticides in polluted water samples.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the use of Raman spectroscopy for pre-diagnostic estimation of weed response to bleaching herbicides. Model plants were Chenopodium album and Abutilon theophrasti treated with mesotrione (120 g a.i. ha-1). Raman single-point measurements were taken 1, 2, 3, and 7 days after herbicide application from different points on the leaves. Principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out on data normalized by the highest intensity band at 1522 cm-1 and using spectral region from 950 to 1650 cm-1 comprising mainly contributions of carotenoids. The carotenoids by intensive band at ∼1522 cm-1 and bands with lower intensity at ∼1155 and 1007 cm-1 in treated plants were confirmed. According to PC1 (the first principal component) and PC2 (the second principal component), the highest intensity bands responsible for treatment differentiation in C. album could be assigned to chlorophyll, lignin, and carotenes. According to PC1 in A. theophrasti leaves the treatment differences could be observed 7 days after mesotrione treatment and PC2 gave a clear separation between all control and treated leaf samples. Raman spectroscopy may be a good complement to invasive analytical methods, in assessing the plant abiotic stress induced by bleaching herbicides.

This study was conducted to assess pesticide residues in 34 water and sediment samples taken from Kumkale Plain of Çanakkale-Turkey. Residue analyses were performed with the use of Quick-Easy-Cheap-Efficient-Rugged-Safe (QuEChERS)-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) procedure. For method verification, blank sediment and water samples were spiked at two limits of quantification (LOQ) levels of the pesticides. Overall recovery was 81.66% for sediment and 91.50% for water samples. In sediment samples, chlorpyrifos-M had the highest concentration, pyridaben was encountered in the majority of the samples (15 samples) and the highest number of pesticides (35) was seen in sample no. s13. In water samples, methoxyfenozide had the greatest concentration, metalaxyl was encountered in the highest number of samples (three samples) and the highest number of pesticide (8) was seen in sample no.w13. Sample no. s13 and w13 were taken from around the fountain basin. Pyraclostrobin and chlorantraniliprole residues exceeded the national limits set for water. In terms of hazard quotient (HQ), pesticides in sediment and waters were found to be safe. Despite the safe nature of pesticide on samples, greater attention has been paid on toxicity of the residues. It was concluded that authorities should put strict regulations on agrochemicals to reduce health risks of these chemicals.

Micro-Multiple Reflection ATR (CMRATR) spectroscopy is a technique, using specialized equipment, which allows the enhanced sensitivity of multiple reflection ATR analysis of small amounts of liquids in a confined area hitherto reserved for single reflection equipment. This technique has demonstrated a high level of sensitivity, especially when used in conjunction with an evaporative technique. In this work, the technique will be used with a miniature CMRATR accessory, which has the added advantage of compatibility with the smallest current FTIR spectrometers, to analyze pesticides. The results presented here indicate that the CMRATR/evaporative technique can serve as both qualitative and quantitative support to the existing standard methodology.

This study aims to determine the optimal strategy and driving factors of the critical nodes of pesticide packaging waste recycling by constructing the recycling process of "village collection-town transport-county management." Counties, towns, and villages are the central nodes of collection, coordination, and communication in the recycling process. Their strategy selection and influencing factor analysis are related to the development of recycling. The county processing center, township transit center, and village recycling center were selected to construct a game model, and strategy and parameter assumptions were made to obtain the optimal strategy combination. The results showed that strict supervision, professional transportation and strict implementation are the best strategies for counties, towns and villages, respectively. Simulation analysis confirmed that factors such as cost, reward restricted the strategy selection of each subject. The higher the supervision, transport, and input costs, the lower the enthusiasm of counties, towns, and villages to participate in recycling, respectively. Reasonable control of reward could help each participant choose a stable strategy. The study provided the idea of a pilot before promotion for the government and emphasized the importance of controlling incentive policies and relative costs to improve the recycling process of pesticide packaging waste.

Cresols and chlorophenols are chemical contaminants that are potentially toxic to humans and can be found in sewage sludge. These chemical contaminants can migrate into the sludge-soil-water system when sludge is used as a conditioner for agricultural soils. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop methodologies based on extraction with low-temperature partitioning (LTP) to determine cresols and chlorophenols in sewage sludge, soil, and water. The analysis was performed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The validated methods were applied to monitor cresols and chlorophenols in a column-leaching study of a sludge-soil-water system. Satisfactory results were achieved for selectivity, limit of quantification (LOQ), linearity, accuracy, and precision. In the column leaching study, only 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was quantified in sludge samples after 20 days of the experiment. None of the studied compounds were quantified in soil and leached water samples, due to the degradation promoted by the microorganisms present in the sewage sludge. Finally, validated methods were suitable for monitoring cresols and chlorophenols in the sludge-soil-water system.

This paper evaluates linear and nonlinear regression analysis to describe the empirical adsorption kinetics using pseudo-first-order (PFO) and pseudo-second-order (PSO) models. These models have been used to characterize the performance of adsorbents for environmental remediation and environmental modeling. Data were simulated using the PFO and PSO models with 1, 2, and 5% noise levels and fitted by nonlinear and linearized PFO and PSO equations. Nonlinear regression analysis provided rate constants and adsorption capacities with better accuracy than linearization. Besides the correlation coefficient, Chi-square and residual plot analysis helped choose the proper model to describe the adsorbent efficiency and validate the results. Both models and the NLR fitting were employed to reevaluate data obtained in our research group, including the adsorption of Hg(II) on thiol-modified vermiculite, glyphosate on soils rich in aluminum and iron oxides, phosphate on Fe(III) polyhydroxy cations modified montmorillonite, and paraquat on soil and vermiculite. While fitting the simulated data indicates an unequivocal and correct kinetic model, fitting the experimental data is not straightforward, suggesting mixed models rule the adsorption and that a large number of data points, especially at the initial steps of adsorption, provided by high throughput analysis, help to improve the kinetic modeling.

While fitting the simulated data indicates an unequivocal and correct kinetic model, fitting the experimental data is not straightforward, suggesting mixed models rule the adsorption and that a large number of data points, especially at the initial steps of adsorption, provided by high throughput analysis, help to improve the kinetic modeling.</p>","PeriodicalId":15720,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part B-pesticides Food Contaminants and Agricultural Wastes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9921460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rosa roxburghii is a medicinal and edible plant, which is favored by consumers due to its rich vitamin C content. Residues and potential health risks of difenoconazole in the R. roxburghii ecosystem has aroused a concern considering its extensive use for controlling the powdery mildew of R. roxburghii. In this study, the residue of difenoconazole in R. roxburghii and soil was extracted by acetonitrile, purified by primary secondary amine and detected by liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The average recoveries in R. roxburghii and soil matrix varied from 82.59% to 99.63%, with relative standard deviations (RSD) of 1.14%-8.23%. The limit of quantification (LOQ) and detection (LOD) of difenoconazole in R. roxburghii and soil samples were 0.01 mg/kg. The dissipation of difenoconazole followed well the first-order kinetic, with a half-life of 3.99-5.57 d in R. roxburghii and 4.94-6.23 d in soil, respectively. And the terminal residues were <0.01-2.181 mg/kg and 0.014-2.406 mg/kg, respectively. The chronic and acute risk quotient values of difenoconazole were respectively 0.42% and 4.1%, which suggests that the risk was acceptable and safe to consumers. This study provides a reference for the safe and reasonable use of difenoconazole in R. roxburghii production.
