Abstract Pesticide contamination of agricultural streams has widely been analysed in regions high intensity agriculture such as Western Europe or North America. The situation subject to low relying on human and animal labour, parts Romania, remains unknown. To close this gap, we determined concentrations 244 pesticides metabolites at 19 low-order streams, covering sites from a region Romania. P...

Regulatory information requirements for pesticides call for submission of acute systemic toxicity data for up to three different exposure routes (oral, dermal, inhalation) for both active ingredients and formulated products. Similar multi-route testing is required in the European Union and elsewhere for industrial chemicals. To determine the value of acute toxicity testing by more than one rout...

The concern that infants and children may be more susceptible to the toxic effects of chemicals, including pesticides, has received much attention in the scientific literature and the public media. Greater toxicity may be evident as long-term adverse outcomes, e.g., neurological and IQ deficits from early exposure to lead, or else as increased toxicological effects of acute or short-term exposu...

The use of the insecticide fipronil has dramatically increased in recent years, yet few studies have been performed compared to other popular pesticides. Although fipronil binds readily to organic carbon in soil, past studies have focused on fipronil toxicity in water but not the effects of fipronil toxicity in sediment. This study addresses the need for a broader range in fipronil toxicity res...

BACKGROUND Chlorpyrifos is one of the most widely used organophosphate insecticides in the United States. Although the toxicity of chlorpyrifos has been extensively studied in animals, the epidemiologic data are limited. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether agricultural chlorpyrifos exposure was associated with mortality, we examined deaths among pesticide applicators in the Agricultural Health Stud...

On April 10, 2014 the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) was notified by a local newspaper of a suspected pesticide poisoning incident in Douglas County involving pesticides not previously reported in the published literature to be associated with human illness. On that same day, WSDA notified the Washington State Department of Health, which investigated this incident by conducti...

Pesticide consumption causes, pollution of groundwater, surface water and soil.Its use is increasing at an alarming rate, for increasingthe agricultural yield. Their extensive use exerts profound and deleterious effects on wildlife populations and humans. Methyl parathion(MP) is one such pesticide which is widely used throughout the world to protect the crops from chewing and sucking insects su...

Poorly water-soluble compounds are difficult to develop as pesticide products and face great challenges in water-based and environmentally friendly formulation development. In this study, high pressure homogenization combined with lyophilization was adopted to prepare the solid nanodispersions of chlorantraniliprole with poor solubility and high melting point. The mean particle sizes of the sol...

Pesticide wastewater has the characteristics of high organic pollutant, high concentration, deep color and high toxicity, which has become difficult to treat the organic wastewater with high concentration at home and abroad. This article uses three methods of US(ultrasonic), Fenton(Fe&H2O2) and combination of US&Fenton were used in the comparative research on the treatment of organic pesticide ...

OBJECTIVE To review the public health significance of organophosphate pesticide exposure in the United States of America. Since the situation of high organophosphate pesticide exposure and the concomitant health risks in the developing countries of the world is well known, this article seeks to highlight the public health significance of organophosphate exposure in the United States, where it i...
