In silico prediction of chemical acute contact toxicity on honey bees via machine learning methods.

Toxicology in vitro : an international journal published in association with BIBRA
In recent years, the decline of honey bees and the collapse of bee colonies have caught the attention of ecologists, and the use of pesticides is one of the main reasons for the decline. Therefore, ecological risk assessment of pesticides is essentia...

Data mining for pesticide decontamination using heterogeneous photocatalytic processes.

Chemosphere
Pesticides are chemical compounds used to kill pests and weeds. Due to their nature, pesticides are potentially toxic to many organisms, including humans. Among the various methods used to decontaminate pesticides from the environment, the heterogene...

Prediction of Soil Adsorption Coefficient in Pesticides Using Physicochemical Properties and Molecular Descriptors by Machine Learning Models.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry
The soil adsorption coefficient (K ) plays an important role in environmental risk assessment of pesticide registration. Based on this risk assessment, applied and registered pesticides can be allowed in the European Union. Almost 1 yr is required to...

Highly Sensitive Detection of Chemically Modified Thio-Organophosphates by an Enzymatic Biosensing Device: An Automated Robotic Approach.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Pesticides represent some of the most common man-made chemicals in the world. Despite their unquestionable utility in the agricultural field and in the prevention of pest infestation in public areas of cities, pesticides and their biotransformation p...

Electrochemical inhibition bacterial sensor array for detection of water pollutants: artificial neural network (ANN) approach.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
This work reports on further development of an inhibition electrochemical sensor array based on immobilized bacteria for the preliminary detection of a wide range of organic and inorganic pollutants, such as heavy metal salts (HgCl, PbCl, CdCl), pest...

Performance of machine-learning algorithms to pattern recognition and classification of hearing impairment in Brazilian farmers exposed to pesticide and/or cigarette smoke.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The use of pesticides has been increasing in agriculture, leading to a public health problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate ototoxic effects in farmers who were exposed to cigarette smoke and/or pesticides and to identify possible classificat...

Association between prenatal exposure to multiple persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and growth indicators in newborns.

Environmental research
Despite the fact that many of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been banned for decades, they still constitute a group of harmful substances to human health. Prenatal exposure can have adverse effects on one's health as well as on their newbo...

Urinary concentrations and profiles of organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticide metabolites and phenoxyacid herbicides in populations in eight countries.

Environment international
Concentrations of nine metabolites of organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides, as well as two phenoxy herbicides, were determined in 322 urine samples collected from eight countries during 2006-2014 by high-performance liquid chromatography-tande...

Potential dermal and inhalation exposure to imidacloprid and risk assessment among applicators during treatment in cotton field in China.

The Science of the total environment
Quantifying operator exposure to pesticides is a key component of the decision-making procedure for risk assessment. China is the largest cotton-planting country in the world. Dense cotton planting patterns and pesticide overuse potentially place Chi...

Magnetic nanoparticles coated with poly(p-phenylenediamine-co-thiophene) as a sorbent for preconcentration of organophosphorus pesticides.

Mikrochimica acta
The authors describe the preparation of FeO nanoparticles coated with poly(p-phenylenediamine-co-thiophene). The resulting nanoparticles (NPs) are shown to be viable sorbents for use in magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of organophosphorus pesti...
