Enantioselective maternal transfer of chiral pesticide metabolite o,p’-DDD in zebrafish (Danio rerio): Implications for intergenerational thyroid disruption

Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
Recent studies show that pesticides can induce intergenerational toxicity, posing threats to wildlife populations. However, the intergenerational effects of chiral pesticide metabolites remain understudied despite their known enantioselective ...

Evaluation of the ecological risk of pesticide residues from the European LUCAS Soil monitoring 2018 survey

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 1639-1653, September 2024.
Abstract The 2018 LUCAS (Land Use and Coverage Area frame Survey) Soil Pesticides survey provides a European Union (EU)‐scale assessment of 118 pesticide residues in more than 3473 soil sites. This study responds to the policy need to develop risk‐based indicators for pesticides in the environment.

Burning question: Rethinking organohalide degradation strategy for bioremediation applications

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2024.
This review specifically focuses on the novel solution of organohalide bioremediation, proposing redox‐potential‐mediated hybrid bioprocesses tailored to the complexities of organohalide pollution. Abstract Organohalides are widespread pollutants that pose significant environmental hazards due to their high degree of halogenation and elevated redox ...

Rapid Screening of 300 Pesticide Residues in Commercially Available Vegetable‐, Fruit‐, and Cereal‐Based Baby Foods by Using Amino‐Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes with QuEChERS and Gas Chromatography‐Electrostatic Field Orbitrap High‐Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
A new method for screening 300 pesticide residues in fruit‐, vegetable‐, and cereal‐based baby foods by an improved QuEChERS purification method based on amino‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NH2‐MWCNTs) combined with gas chromatography‐electrostatic field orbitrap high‐resolution mass spectrometry (Orbitrap GC‐MS) was developed.
