Abstract Cowpea is known for its high protein content (18–25%) and also chiefly raised for green fodder. The infesting pests, pod borer and aphids are the most destructive ones. To control these pests, chlorantraniliprole emerges as a promising molecule. Thus, its needs to assess the dissipation nature of the chlorantraniliprole. Hence, a trial was conducted at IIVR, Varanasi, India. The residue analysis

The feasibility of using micro concentrated multiple reflection ATR FTIR accessory in pesticide analysis J. Environ. Sci. Health B (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2023-05-07 Ali Kocak, Arriel LaVena Miles
Abstract 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

Acute exposure of Isopyrazam damages the developed cardiovascular system of zebrafish (Danio rerio) J. Environ. Sci. Health B (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2023-04-09 Yuepei Yan, Shuang Liang, Tao Zhang, Chengchen Deng, Huili Li, Dechuan Zhang, Daoxi Lei, Guixue Wang
Abstract Isopyrazam (IPZ) is one of the broad-spectrum succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicides (SDHIs). Although the potential bio-toxicity of SDHIs has been reported hourly, the specific effects focused on the cardiovascular system have remained unclear and piecemeal. Thus, we chose IPZ as a representative to observe the cardiovascular toxicity of SDHIs in zebrafish. Two types of transgenic zebrafish

Dissipation pattern and safety assessment of fenazaquin and metaflumizone in butterbur (Petasites japonicus) J. Environ. Sci. Health B (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2023-04-09 Syed Wasim Sardar, Abd Elaziz Sulieman Ahmed Ishag, Jeong Yoon Choi, Yeong Ju Jo, Hun Ju Ham
Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the residual behavior and safety assessment of fenazaquin and metaflumizone in butterbur. The samples were periodically harvested, extracted using QuEChERS method, and determined by LC-MS/MS. The linearity of matrix-matched calibration curve was ≥0.99 for both compounds. The average recoveries of fenazaquin and metaflumizone at two fortification levels

Removal of fenamiphos, imidacloprid, and oxamyl pesticides from water by microalgal Nannochloropsis oculata biomass and their determination by validated HPLC method J. Environ. Sci. Health B (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2023-04-03 Azza G. A. Reyad, Moustafa A. Abbassy, Gehan I. Kh. Marei, Entsar I. Rabea, Mohamed E. I. Badawy
Abstract 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

A polypyrrole-cotton pad sorbent as micro-solid phase extractor enclosed in tea bag envelope for determination of synthetic antioxidants in non-alcoholic beverage products J. Environ. Sci. Health B (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2023-03-28 Suwatchanee Maneeratanachot, Proespichaya Kanatharana, Chongdee Thammakhet-Buranachai, Panwadee Wattanasin
Abstract A polypyrrole (PPy)-cotton pad sorbent enclosed in tea bag envelope was developed and used in micro-solid phase extraction (µ-SPE) for the determination of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). After extraction, the extract was qualified and quantified by a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Parameters influencing this developed
