The Comet Assay, a Sensitive Biomarker of Water Quality Improvement Following Adoption of Beneficial Agricultural Practices?

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 10, Page 2201-2214, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Numerous actions have been undertaken by farmers to attenuate the impact of agricultural activities on aquatic ecosystems. The identification of biomarkers that respond quickly to water quality improvement could facilitate the assessment of adopted alternative practices and help maintain mobilization among stakeholders.

Recent advances and future trends in molecularly imprinted polymers‐based sample preparation

Journal of Separation Science, Volume 46, Issue 12, June 2023., 2023
Molecular imprinting technology is a well‐established technique for the obtainment of tailor‐made polymers, so‐called molecularly imprinted polymers, with a predetermined selectivity towards a target analyte or structurally related compounds. Accordingly, molecularly imprinted polymers are considered excellent materials for sample preparation providing

Challenges with the current methodology for conducting Endangered Species Act risk assessments for pesticides in the United States

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 817-829, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA or the Agency) is responsible for administering the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The Agency is also required to assess the potential risks of pesticides undergoing registration or re‐registration to threatened and endangered (i.e., listed) species to ensure ...

Pesticide Prioritization by Potential Biological Effects in Tributaries of the Laurentian Great Lakes

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 367-384, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Watersheds of the Great Lakes Basin (USA/Canada) are highly modified and impacted by human activities including pesticide use. Despite labeling restrictions intended to minimize risks to nontarget organisms, concerns remain that environmental exposures to pesticides may be occurring at levels negatively impacting nontarget organisms. We used a

The Targeted Pesticides as Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors: Comprehensive Cross-Organism Molecular Modelling Studies Performed to Anticipate the Pharmacology of Harmfulness to Humans In Vitro

Molecules, 2018
Commercially available pesticides were examined as Mus musculus and Homo sapiens acetylcholinesterase (mAChE and hAChE) inhibitors by means of ligand-based (LB) and structure-based (SB) in silico approaches. Initially, the crystal structures of simazine,
