response of Escherichia coli and enterococci to agrochemicals. Replicate tanks were treated with atrazine, malathion, chlorothalonil and inorganic fertilizer, either alone at 1x or 2x their expected environmental concentrations (EECs) or in pair-wise combinations at their EECs. IOs inoculated in sediment (similar to 104 cfu per 100 ml) were enumerated over 28 days. IOs generally declined over time, but manova revealed that addition of fertilizer and atrazine resulted in significantly greater IO densities. Malathion, chlorothalonil and agrochemical concentration (1x vs 2x) did not significantly affect IO densities and no significant interactions between agrochemicals were noted. The augmentation of IO densities in sediments by fertilizer and atrazine may impact their reliability as accurate predictors of water quality and human health risk, and indicates the need for a better understanding of the fate of IOs and enteric pathogens in sediments exposed to agrochemicals.

Abstract: Abstract: Water bodies often receive agrochemicals and animal waste carrying fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) and zoonotic pathogens, but we know little about the effects of agrochemicals on these microbes. We assessed the direct effects of the pesticides atrazine, malathion, and chlorothalonil and inorganic fertilizer on Escherichia coli and enterococcal survival in simplified microcosms held in the dark. E. coli strain composition in sediments and water column were positively correlated, but none of the agrochemicals had significant direct effects on E. coli strain composition or on densities of culturable FIBs. In a companion study, microcosms with nondisinfected pond water and sediments were exposed to or shielded from sunlight to examine the potential indirect effects of atrazine and inorganic fertilizer on E. coli. The herbicide atrazine had no effect on E. coli in dark-exposed microcosms containing natural microbial and algal communities. However, in light-exposed microcosms, atrazine significantly lowered E. coli densities in the water column and significantly increased densities in the sediment compared to controls. This effect appears to be mediated by the effects of atrazine on algae, given that atrazine significantly reduced phytoplankton, which was a positive and negative predictor of E. coli densities in the water column and sediment, respectively. These data suggest that atrazine does not directly affect the survival of FIB, rather that it indirectly alters the distribution and abundance of E. coli by altering phytoplankton and periphyton communities. These results improve our understanding of the influence of agricultural practices on FIB densities in water bodies impacted by agricultural runoff.

Abstract: Abstract: Agrochemicals, fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), and pathogens frequently contaminate water simultaneously. No significant direct effects of fertilizer, atrazine, malathion, and chlorothalonil on the survival of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella enterica, human polyomaviruses, and adenovirus were detected, supporting the assertion that previously observed effects of agrochemicals on FIB were indirect.

Abstract: Although persistent decrements in cognitive function have been observed among persons who have recovered from clinically overt organophosphate (OP) pesticide poisoning, little is known about the cognitive effects of chronic OP exposures that do not result in acute poisoning. To examine associations between long-term pesticide use and neurobehavioral (NB) function, NB tests were administered to licensed pesticide applicators enrolled in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) in Iowa and North Carolina. Between 2006 and 2008, 701 male participants completed nine NB tests to assess memory, motor speed and coordination, sustained attention, verbal learning and visual scanning and processing. Data on ever-use and lifetime days of use of 16 OP pesticides were obtained from AHS interviews conducted before testing between 1993 and 2007 and during the NB visit. The mean age of participants was 61 years (SD = 12). Associations between pesticide use and NB test performance were estimated with linear regression controlling for age and outcome-specific covariates. NB test performance was associated with lifetime days of use of some pesticides. Ethoprop was significantly associated with reduced performance on a test of motor speed and visual scanning. Malathion was significantly associated with poor performance on a test of visual scanning and processing. Conversely, we observed significantly better test performance for five OP pesticides. Specifically, chlorpyrifos, coumaphos, parathion, phorate, and tetrachlorvinphos were associated with better verbal learning and memory; coumaphos was associated with better performance on a test of motor speed and visual scanning; and parathion was associated with better performance on a test of sustained attention. Several associations varied by state. Overall, we found no consistent evidence of an association between OP pesticide use and adverse NB test performance among this older sample of pesticide applicators. Potential reasons for these mostly null results include a true absence of effect as well as possible selective participation by healthier applicators.

Abstract: Abstract: The pesticide residues in exported and imported tea products must not exceed the maximum residue limits (MRLs) regulated by the import countries. Tea is a complex matrix that obfuscates the determination of pesticide residues. Many available methods for multiresidue pesticide analysis of tea are time-consuming and require many cleanup steps. The objective of this study was to develop a simple multiresidue method by using a modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction and ion-trap GC/MS/MS, which can identify, confirm, and quantify pesticides in complex matrixes. A tea product was homogenized with water, and the pesticides were extracted with acetonitrile containing 1% acetic acid. The extract was subjected to centrifugation, initial cleanup with dispersive SPE (dSPE), solvent exchange, and final cleanup with dSPE. Diethyl-d(10)-parathion and triphenyl phosphate were used as the internal standard and surrogate, respectively. The final extract was injected into an ITQ 700 gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. Quantitation of individual pesticides was based on matrix-matched calibration curves with a correlation coefficient of >0.9930 for the 22 pesticides selected for the study. The recoveries of the 22 pesticides ranged from 78 to 115%, except those for diazinon (130%) and malathion (122%), with an average RSD of 8.7%. The LOD values of all of the pesticides, except for terbufos, were below the MRLs set by the European Union and Japan.

Abstract: Abstract: Background: Regulatory decisions to phase-out the availability and use of common organophosphate pesticides among the general public were announced in 2000 and continued through 2004. Based on revised risk assessments, chlorpyrifos and diazinon were determined to pose unacceptable risks. To determine the impact of these decisions, organophosphate (OP) exposure incidents reported to the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC) were analyzed for longitudinal trends. Methods: Non-occupational human exposure incidents reported to NPIC were grouped into pre-( 1995-2000) and post-announcement periods (2001-2007). The number of total OP exposure incidents, as well as reports for chlorpyrifos, diazinon and malathion, were analyzed for significant differences between these two periods. The number of informational inquiries from the general public was analyzed over time as well. Results: The number of average annual OP-related exposure incidents reported to NPIC decreased significantly between the pre- and post-announcement periods (p < 0.001). A significant decrease in the number of chlorpyrifos and diazinon reports was observed over time (p < 0.001). No significant difference in the number of incident reports for malathion was observed (p = 0.4), which was not phased-out of residential use. Similar to exposure incidents, the number of informational inquiries received by NPIC declined over time following the phase-out announcement. Conclusion: Consistent with other findings, the number of chlorpyrifos and diazinon exposure incidents reported to NPIC significantly decreased following public announcement and targeted regulatory action.

Abstract: Abstract: The organophosphorus pesticides including phorate, diazinon, tolclofos-methyl, fenitrothin, malathion, fenthion, isocarbophos, quinalphos and phenamiphos, in peanut oils were determined by liquid-liquid extraction coupled with dispersive solid phase extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The mixture of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and alumina was used as adsorbent in dispersive solid phase extraction. The effects of some experimental conditions, such as types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, amount of adsorbents and extraction time were examined. The limits of detection for the analytes were between 0.7 and 1.6 mu g kg(-1). The obtained recoveries of the analytes in the samples were between 85.9 and 114.3% and relative standard deviations were lower than 8.48%. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Abstract: In this investigation, our aim was to evaluate the performance of a controlled release of malathion pesticide loaded in microspheres of pure polymers of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and poly( epsilon -caprolactone) (PCL) and of blends of these polymers with compositions of 70/30, 80/20, 90/10, 95/5, and 97/3 w/w. Microspheres were obtained by an emulsion-evaporation method to load a model pesticide. Scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the effect of the pesticide on the morphology and particles size of the biodegradable microspheres. The interaction between the matrix and pesticide was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The test for controlled release was performed in an aqueous medium, and malathion was quantified by ultraviolet spectroscopy. The results show that the release of malathion was improved with the PCL content in the blends; this indicated the possibility of modulating the release of the pesticide in these biodegradable blends.

Abstract: Abstract: We developed a simple strategy for designing a sensitive electrochemical biosensor for organophosphate insecticides (OIs), based on an acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-carbon nanotube (CNT)-polypyrrole (PPy) biocomposite film modified gold electrode (labeled as AChE-CNT-PPy/Au). Based on the inhibition of OIs to the enzymatic activity of AChE, using malathion as a model compound, the conditions for detection of the insecticides were explored. The proposed method demonstrates an easy electron transfer between the immobilized enzyme and the electrode via functionalized CNTs in a polypyrrole matrix. Under optimal conditions, the inhibition of malathion was proportional to its concentration from 1.0-20.0 mu M. The detection limit was 0.1 mu M, with a good precision (RSD = 4.7%, n = 8). The developed biosensor exhibited good stability. This method could be developed as a conventional one to select efficient enzyme inhibitors and investigate toxic compounds against enzymes.

Abstract: Abstract: This thesis describes a new analytical method for determination of organophosphorus pesticides along with their degradation products using liquid chromatography positive ion electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry with selected reaction monitoring. Chromatography was performed on a Gemini C 6 -phenyl column with a gradient elution using a water-methanol with 0.1% formic acid, 2mM ammonium acetate mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL min-1 . Method detection limits of 0.1-5 ÎĽg L-1 for selected organophosphorus pesticides, organophosphorus oxon degradation products and other degradation products, such as: 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol; 2-isopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidol; and diethyl phosphate. Some organophosphorus pesticides such as fenchlorphos are less sensitive with method detection limits of 30 ÎĽg L -1 . A three-point identification approach was adopted with an area from the first selected reaction monitoring transition used for quantitative analysis, while a second selected reaction monitoring transition along with the ratio of areas obtained from the first to second transition are used for confirmation with sample tolerance established by the relative standard deviation of the ratio obtained from standards, which ranged from 3% to 11%. This new method permitted the first known detection of organophosphorus oxon degradation products including chlorpyrifos oxon in atmospheric samples from Bratt's Lake, Saskatchewan and diazinon oxon and malathion oxon from Abbotsford, British. Atmospheric detection limits typically ranged from 0.2-10 pg m -3 . High atmospheric concentrations were observed for chlorpyrifos at Bratt's Lake, diazinon at Abbotsford, and malathion at both sites, particularly in the spring or summer. These high atmospheric concentrations were partly attributed to volatilization of malathion at both sites. A significant amount of the variability in atmospheric concentrations could not be explained by local temperature variations, indicating the source contributions from both local/regional and long-range atmospheric transport were also important. Degradation products followed similar atmospheric trends to their parent active ingredients, indicating that in general higher concentrations of degradation products were observed with elevated concentrations of organophosphorus parent compounds. Additionally, the ratios between the atmospheric concentrations of organophosphorus pesticides and organophosphorus oxons provide an insight into the age of pesticides.

Abstract: Abstract: The dissipation behaviors of the two enantiomers of the organophosphorus pesticide malathion (MA) in environment samples were elucidated using a normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with a cellulose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC) chiral column. A validated chiral residue analysis method in soil and water was established; the average recoveries for the two enantiomers were 88-102% in soil and 81-99% in water. Racemic and enantiopure R-(+)- and S-(-)-MA were incubated in five soil and water systems. The results of the degradation of racemate in all of the environment samples showed the inactive S-(-)-enantiomer degraded more rapidly than the active R-(+)-enantiomer, resulting in a relative enrichment of the R-form. Moreover, when the enantiopure S-(-)- and R-(+)-MA were incubated in three well-chosen soil and water samples, respectively, inversion from one enantiomer to another was found, indicating that using the optically pure enantiomer will not help to increase the bioactivity and reduce the environmental pollution.

Abstract: Abstract: Hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) technique was used as a clean-up procedure for the determination of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) in fish tissue. In this study, eight OPPs were first extracted with acetone from fish sample, the organic extract after rotatory evaporation was then redissolved with water-methanol (95:5, v/v) solution, followed by polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) HF-LPME. Experimental HF-LPME and other sample preparation conditions were carefully investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, good linearity were observed in the range of 20-500ng/g, limits of detections (LODs) were in the range of 2.1-4.5ng/g. The repeatability and recovery of the method also showed satisfactory results. Compared with traditional sample preparation method for the determination of OPPs in fish tissue, the method developed in this study eliminated the solid phase extraction (SPE) step, simplified the sample preparation procedure and lowered the cost of analysis.

Abstract: Abstract: Supercritical fluid has been adopted as an extraction media to remove various kinds of substances from distinct types of solid matrices since three decades ago. Compared to conventional extraction mode, supercritical fluid extraction technology is preferred because of the flexibility in adjusting its dissolving power and inherent elimination of organic solvent which means reducing time and money needed for subsequent purification. Utilization of this method as an environmental remedial technology, however, has become a trend only after its accomplishment in analytical chemistry was acknowledged. This review tries to summarize in a comprehensive manner the multitude aspects involved in hazardous compounds removal from miscellaneous class of environmental matrices. The industrial adsorbent regeneration using supercritical fluid technology is also discussed. Although, this technology has been successfully realized for environmental remediation in laboratory and on pilot-plant scale, its commercialization attempts still lack significant technology improvement in order to reach the economic feasibility.

Abstract: Abstract: The mutagenicity and the mutagen formation potential (MFP) of seven fungicides, 15 herbicides and 22 insecticides upon chlorination were measured with the Ames Salmonella assay. All the pesticides except for thiram and dichlorvos were non-mutagenic. However, 75% of the tested pesticides showed significant MFP. This indicated that the chlorination by-products of some pesticides are mutagenic, although the pesticides themselves are not. No significant mutagenicity or MFP was observed for 20% of the pesticides tested in the present study. Thiram and dichlorvos, representing 5% of the tested pesticides, had significant mutagenicity and MFP. The average MFP of asulam, which had the highest MFP in this study, was 860 times greater than the average MFP of propyzamide, which had the lowest MFP (below the detection limit). In addition, the chemical structures of pesticides which had significant MFPs were compared to each other in order to see if there are common characteristics among them, but we could not predict whether pesticides are capable of forming mutagens from their chemical structures, use types or mode of actions. MFP measurements are indispensable in order to know whether pesticides are capable of forming mutagens.

Abstract: Direct hapten-linked multiplexed immunoassay is developed on the polycarbonate surface of standard Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs) for six compounds of environmental concern, as proof of concept. Carboxylated haptens are directly linked to the aminated polycarbonate surface through carbodiimide/succinimide coupling. The modified DVD surface maintained its physical and optical properties. Multiplexed assay reached detection limits down to 0.1 ++g/L for chlorpyrifos, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxypropionic acid, sulfathiazole and sulfasalazine and down to 1.0 ++g/L for fenthion and malathion. This approach presents advantages such as the improvement in sensitivity in comparison to proteinÇôhapten conjugate format for all the studied analytes and the absence of cross-interference effects, allowing high throughput multianalysis on the same surface. Also, a comparison of the performance of two sensing strategies indicated that DVD disc and drive approach turned out in a simpler mode, the assays being more reproducible and with higher signal to noise ratios.

Abstract: Abstract: With a liquid chromatographic column, the transport behaviors of malathion and Cl(-) in red soil and gray fluvo-aquic soil columns were studied. Malathion was leached with three different solutions (0.01 mol L(-1) CaCl(2), 0.01 mol L(-1) CaCl(2) + 0.001 mol L(-1) citric acid, and 0.01 mol L(-1) CaCl(2) + 0.001 mol L(-1) malic acid) at two pore water velocities (0.191 and 0.382 cm min(-1)). The symmetrical breakthrough curves (BTCs) of Cl(-), which were obtained by using the conservative tracer, showed no significant physical nonequilibrium in solution transport. Compared with those of Cl-, the BTCs of malathion were obviously asymmetrical, with a shift to the right and an extended long-time tail, which is typical of sorption nonequilibrium. Using CXTFIT2.1 and continuous time random walk (CTRW) theory, the physical and hydrodynamic parameters were obtained by fitting the experimental results to the measured BTCs. For both the local equilibrium assumption (LEA) model and the nonequilibrium two-site model (TSM), introduction of a decay term improved the fitting of BTCs, which indicated that sorption-desorption influenced malathion transport. On the whole, the TSM fitted the BTCs better than the LEA model because the TSM accounted for either sorption-ortransport-related nonequilibrium. Under most experimental conditions, compared with the LEA and TSM, the CTRW described the distal portion, especially the extended long-time tails, of BTCs better because non-Fickian diffusion arose at later transport times. The results suggest that the nonequilibrium TSM is a useful approach to predict malathion transport. At later transport times, however, the CTRW, characterizing non-Fickian transport, better explained the BTC tails. These results are valuable to predict and control the fate of malathion in the environment.

Abstract: Abstract: We sampled fishes of the rivers Gendwuha, Guang, Shinfa, and Ayima with 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 cm stretched mesh gillnet, monofilament of different mesh sizes, hook and line, fykenet and castnet. During October 2007 through January 2008 in both dry and wet seasons. 27 fish species were identified from the four rivers represented by the families: Centropomidae, Cichlidae, Bagridae, Schilbeidae, Clariidae, Mochokidae, Malapteruridae, Osteoglossidae, Mormyridae, Characidae, Citharinidae and Cyprinidae. Species richness was slightly highest in the rivers Shinfa and Ayima - 20 species each, whereas 16 and 18 species were identified from Gendwuha and Guang rivers, respectively. Most destructive fishing methods used in the region include plant poisons and chemicals (Malathion) which are nonselective and dangerous for all biota. Action towards awareness creation in this respect should be urgently undertaken before extinction of species.

Abstract: Abstract: Reactivation of inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with oximes is a causal therapy of intoxication with organophosphorus compounds (OPs). Maximal oxime effects are expected when effective doses are administered as soon as possible and as long as reactivation can be anticipated. An obidoxime plasma level in the range of 10-20I14M was estimated as appropriate. The achievement of this target was assessed in 34 severely OP-poisoned patients. After admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) the obidoxime regimen (250mg i.v. as bolus, followed by 750mg/24h) was started and maintained as long as reactivation was possible. Plasma concentrations of obidoxime were determined by HPLC. A total amount of 2269Ac1726mg obidoxime was infused over 65hAc55h resulting in a steady state plasma concentration of 14.5Ac7.3I14M. Obidoxime was eliminated with t 1/2(1) 2.2 and t 1/2(2) 14h. The volumes of distribution amounted to 0.32Ac0.1L/kg (V (1)) and 0.28Ac0.12 (V (2))L/kg. Postmortem examination of tissue in one patient showed obidoxime accumulation in cartilage, kidney and liver and pointed to brain concentrations similar to plasma concentration. Using the suggested obidoxime regimen, the targeted plasma concentration could be achieved. Obidoxime was eliminated biphasically and was well tolerated. This result allows the recommendation of using this definite regimen for adults also in case of mass casualties.

Abstract: Abstract: Purpose: Polar chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) were examined for their sampling efficiency of 12 pesticides and one metabolite commonly detected in surface waters. Laboratory-based calibration experiments of POCISs were conducted. The determined passive sampling rates were applied for the monitoring of pesticides levels in Lake Amvrakia, Western Greece. Spot sampling was also performed for comparison purposes. Methods: Calibration experiments were performed on the basis of static renewal exposure of POCIS under stirred conditions for different time periods of up to 28 days. The analytical procedures were based on the coupling of POCIS and solid phase extraction by Oasis HLB cartridges with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: The recovery of the target pesticides from the POCIS was generally >79% with relative standard deviation (RSD) <16%. The calibration results revealed an integrative uptake of all pesticides for 28 days and the calculated sampling rates ranged from 0.025 to 0.388 L day super(-1) with RSD <29%. Low nanogram/liter levels of pesticides such as diazinon, alachlor, and s-metolachlor were detected during the monitoring campaign using both passive and spot sampling whereas higher concentrations were measured by spot sampling in most cases. Conclusions: Passive sampling by POCIS provides a useful tool for the monitoring of pesticides in aquatic systems since integrative sampling at rates sufficient for analytical quantitation of ambient levels was observed. Calibration data are in demand for a greater number of compounds in order to extend the use in environmental monitoring.

Abstract: Abstract: A monitoring study of pesticides belonging to different chemical families was carried out in Amvrakia lake (West Greece) waters after land use changes in the lake's basin. Based on land-use patterns, nine sampling points were selected. Pesticides were extracted by solid phase extraction (SPE) using Oasis HLB cartridges and analysed by gas chromatographic techniques with flame thermionic and mass-spectra detection. Pesticides detected during the monitoring survey include eight herbicides (alachlor, atrazine, s-metolachlor, pendimethalin, prometryne, propachlor, simazine, trifluralin) and one metabolite (deethyl atrazine) with concentration levels up to 807 ng L-1 (recorded for alachlor), eight insecticides (azinphos methyl, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos methyl, diazinon, dimethoate, fenitrothion, malathion, methidathion) with concentration levels up to 490 ng L-1 (recorded for azinphos methyl) and six fungicides (benalaxyl, cyproconazole, fenarimol, pyrimethanil, triadimefon, triadimenol) with concentration levels up to 408 ng L-1 (recorded for pyrimethanil). More frequently detected pesticides were atrazine, deethyl atrazine, alachlor, azinphos methyl, chlorpyrifos methyl, diazinon and pyrimethanil. The higher concentrations were measured during spring-early summer period, following seasonal application of pesticides and diminished significantly during winter. Littoral sampling stations presented higher pesticide concentration levels and more frequent detection.
