A bi-enzyme tracer direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dc-ELISA) was developed based on anti-imidaclothiz and anti-thiacloprid antibodies. Several affected physicochemical factors were optimised, including methanol concentration, ionic strength and pH value. Under the optimised conditions, 50% inhibiting concentration (IC50) values for thiacloprid and imidaclothiz were 182.62 and 58.17 μg/L, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 4.25 and 2.12 μg/L, respectively. There was no obvious cross reactivity (CR) between the two pesticides with most neonicotinoids pesticides except imidacloprid. The method analyzing the spiked samples of tomato, pear and cabbage showed satisfying recoveries (85.27-113.07%). Comparable dissipation of thiacloprid and imidaclothiz in authentic tomato samples determined with the dc-ELISA and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) indicated that dc-ELISA is suitable for monitoring thiacloprid and imidaclothiz residues simultaneously in agricultural samples.

Beeswax, an FDA-approved component, has been extensively applied in feed, pharmaceutical, and food industries. The occurrence of neonicotinoid pesticides in beehive systems and their residues in beeswax have caused safety risks. Therefore, establishing a detection method for neonicotinoid pesticide residues in beeswax is crucial for ensuring its quality.

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).

Neonicotinoid pesticides are a relatively new class of pesticides that have garnered significant attention owing to their potential ecological risks to nontarget organisms. A method combining solid phase extraction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-MS/MS) was developed for the rapid and accurate detection of eight neonicotinoid pesticides (dinotefuran, -nitenpyram, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, imidacloprid, imidaclothiz, acetamiprid, and thiacloprid) in wastewater. The chromatographic mobile phase and MS parameters were selected, and a single-factor method was used to determine the optimal column type, extraction volume, sample loading speed, and pH for SPE.

Neonicotinoid (NEO) insecticides have been frequently detected in natural aquatic environments. Nevertheless, the distribution of NEOs in artificial environments is not clear. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the longest canal in the world.

Background: Neonicotinoids are the most widely used insecticides. Laboratory studies have suggested that neonicotinoids are one potential obesogen, but relevant data are limited in human.
Objective: To examine the association between exposure to neonicotinoids and childhood obesity.
