Pollinator populations are declining globally at an unprecedented rate, driven by factors such as pathogens, habitat loss, climate change, and the widespread application of pesticides. Although colony losses remain difficult to prevent, precision bee...
Pesticides and other synthetic agrochemicals play a critical role in emerging agricultural practices by enhancing crop productivity and protecting against pests and diseases. However, their widespread application has raised significant concerns about...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible deterioration of vision in older adults. Previous studies have found that exposure to pesticides can lead to a worsening of AMD. In this paper, information on pesticide e...
Exposure to organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) poses significant health risks, including cancer, endocrine dysregulation, neurological disorders, and reproductive disruption. This study investigates the association between OCP exposure and thyroid dist...
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are widely used in agriculture but pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence and toxicity in the environment. While microbial degradation offers a promising solution, gaps remain in...
Emerging environmental contaminants (EECs) such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals pose significant challenges for detection and identification due to their structural diversity and lack of analytical standards. Traditional targ...
Agro-industrial waste management remains a critical challenge in sustainable development, particularly due to contamination with heterogeneous micropollutants such as heavy metals (HMs), pesticides, and polyphenols. This study explores an innovative ...
Raman spectroscopy enables fast, label-free, qualitative, and quantitative observation of the physical and chemical properties of various substances. Here, we present a 785 nm custom-built Raman spectroscopy instrument designed for sensing applicatio...
