The present paper reports the theoretical and experimental vibrational spectra of organophosphorus pesticide parathion-methyl in the frequency range from 0.2 to 2.0 THz respectively. Under the room temperature and nitrogen conditions, the absorption peaks were found at 0.65, 1.33, 1.81 and 1.91 THz, and the average refractive index was 1.39 based on the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). In parallel with the experimental study, density functional theory (DFT) was applied to obtain the structure and vibrational frequencies of parathion-methyl in the terahertz region. The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data. The absorption features are caused by the collective vibrational and torsional modes, and the different absorption peaks correspond to different vibrational modes.

Brazil is one of the world's leading consumers of agricultural pesticides, highlighting the urgent need to identify responsive biomarkers as diagnostic and prognostic tools for monitoring aquatic pollution. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carboxylesterases (CbE) are B-esterases enzymes expressed in several organisms. AChE plays an essential role in neural transmission at cholinergic synapses, while CbE are directly involved in the detoxification of organic pollutants, including organophosphorus pesticides.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used organophosphorus pesticide, presents substantial risks to both environmental and human health due to its persistent accumulation, thereby necessitating the development of effective detection methods. Self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors, as an innovative technology, address the limitations inherent in conventional sensors, such as susceptibility to interference and inadequate signal response. Herein, we synthesized AgS/BiOCl as a photosensitive material, employing it as a light-harvesting substrate and a signal-transducing platform to develop a self-powered PEC sensor for the detection of CPF.

Organophosphorus (OPs) pesticide residues pose significant threats to human health and the environment. To tackle this issue, we synthesized water-soluble fluorescent conjugated polymer nanoparticles (WSCPNs), which offer high fluorescence intensity, simple preparation methods, and ease of functionalization, making them ideal candidates for fluorescent sensing applications. These WSCPNs were subsequently used to prepare a WSCPNs@MnO probe via in situ synthesis, resulting in efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer between WSCPNs and MnO₂.

Neurotoxicity of organophosphate esters (OPEs) and organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) has been documented in toxicological studies, though epidemiological evidence remains inconsistent. The developing fetal brain is susceptible to environmental exposures. Thus, we aim to investigate how prenatal exposure to OPEs and OPPs as mixture affects offspring neurodevelopment in preschool-aged children.

Organophosphate pesticides can cause long-term neurological damage to humans. There is an urgent need to develop a more sensitive and efficient method for detecting trace amounts of organophosphorus pesticides in orange juice, particularly in the presence of interfering substances. This study developed a dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) method using amorphous UiO-66 (aUiO-66) as an adsorbent for the detection of four organophosphate pesticides (fenthion, profenofos, fensulfothion, and chlorpyrifos) in orange juice.
