A simple and sensitive single-step method for gas chromatography-mass spectrometric determination of fipronil and its metabolites viz., fipronil desulfinyl, fipronil sulphide and fipronil sulphone in sugarcane juice, jaggery and sugar has been developed. Acetonitrile was superior to ethyl acetate in terms of selectivity, though they were on par with each other in terms of recoveries. This method does not require any cleanup as the PSA-based cleanup was on par with no-cleanup treatment. Interestingly, the recoveries of fipronil and its metabolites decreased with increased amounts of C18 from 10 to 50mg/g of matrix. Matrix effects were insignificant and the limit of quantification was 0.005μg/g. The recoveries of fipronil and its metabolites varied between 87.5% and 108.5% with the RSD of 0.2-5.3% for all the three matrices studied. This method has also been validated by monitoring fipronil and its metabolites in the retail outlet samples of sugarcane juice, jaggery and sugar.

Exposure to pesticides is one of the main drivers of global bee decline. However, the occurrence of pesticides in bee-attracting crops remains underexposed due to the lack of efficient on-site screening approaches for multi-analyte monitoring. Utilizing color-encoded superparamagnetic microspheres, we constructed a portable 8-plex indirect competitive microsphere-based immunoassay for the simultaneous determination of multiple bee-hazardous residues (Bee-Plex).

The widespread use of the pesticide fipronil in domestic and agriculture sectors has resulted in its accumulation across the environment. Its use to assure food security has inadvertently affected soil microbiome composition, fertility and, ultimately, human health. Degradation of residual fipronil present in the environment using specific microbial species is a promising strategy for its removal.

Chilli, one of the most popular vegetables in the world is infested by many insect-pests and diseases. Fipronil, a phenylpyrazole class insecticide is used to manage insect-pests on chilli. The present study aimed to analyze the dissipation patterns and residual concentrations of the fipronil and its metabolites in chilli fruits during the Kharif season of 2020-21, in semi-arid environment.

Fipronil, malathion, and permethrin are widely used insecticides in agriculture, public areas, and residential spaces. The globally abused application of these chemicals results in residues surpassing established maximum residue levels, giving rise to potential toxicity in unintended organisms. Long-term exposure and the persistent accumulation of these insecticides in animals and humans pose threats such as neurotoxicity, liver and kidney damage, and microbiota dysbiosis.
