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...

Modification-free carbon dots as turn-on fluorescence probe for detection of organophosphorus pesticides.

Food chemistry
It is important to detect pesticides residues due to the concern over food safety. In this work, the burning ash of waste paper was used as carbon source to synthesize carbon dots (C-dots). The fluorescence of obtained C-dots could been turn off by F...

Evaluation of genotoxic effects in Brazilian agricultural workers exposed to pesticides and cigarette smoke using machine-learning algorithms.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Monitoring exposure to xenobiotics by biomarker analyses, such as a micronucleus assay, is extremely important for the precocious detection and prevention of diseases, such as oral cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate genotoxic effects in ru...

Intensification of degradation of methomyl (carbamate group pesticide) by using the combination of ultrasonic cavitation and process intensifying additives.

Ultrasonics sonochemistry
In the present work, the degradation of methomyl has been carried out by using the ultrasound cavitation (US) and its combination with H2O2, Fenton and photo-Fenton process. The study of effect of operating pH and ultrasound power density has indicat...

Digital pesticide: a comprehensive pesticide information database with dynamic web platform for artificial intelligence applications.

Pest management science
BACKGROUND: Pesticides are crucial for protecting crops from pests and diseases to meet the growing global food demand. In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), computer-aided approaches have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency a...
