Residential indoor environments are potential sources of exposure to pyrethroids, which have low acute toxicity to humans but are allergenic and suspected endocrine disruptors. The present study evaluated the persistence of the pyrethroids cypermethrin and beta-cyfluthrin on indoor surfaces and in house dust. Cypermethrin and beta-cyfluthrin were applied and maintained on aluminum foils and in dust samples for 112 d under controlled conditions and for 12 mo in a test house; periodically, they were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. Cypermethrin and beta-cyfluthrin concentrations showed decreases of 10.1% and 7.7% on aluminum foils, and 12.7% and 16.4% in dust, respectively, at 112 d under controlled conditions. In the test house, cypermethrin and beta-cyfluthrin concentrations decreased by 40.3% and 60.2% on aluminum foils, and 29.6% and 56.2% in dust at the end of the study. The results show the considerable persistence of cypermethrin and beta-cyfluthrin indoors and indicate the risk of exposure to these products. Environ Toxicol Chem 2017;36:2895-2898. © 2017 SETAC.

The application of pesticides increases crop yields but affects the structure and function of the soil microbial community. Halogens are common functional modification groups in chemical compounds, and innovative pesticides have been developed on the basis of these groups. However, the effects of different halogen substituents on soil microorganisms remain unclear.

Communities living in African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) endemic areas of Zambia use several control strategies to protect their livestock from the devastating effects of trypanosomiasis. Several studies have reported the effectiveness of trypanosomiasis control strategies based on retrospective data. In this study, we assessed incidence rates of AAT in cattle ( = 227) using a prospective cohort study comprising 4 treatment groups, i.

Synthetic pyrethroids are widely used insecticides which may cause chronic diseases in non-target organisms upon long-term exposure. Microbial degradation offers a reliable method to remove them from the environment. This study focused on Brevibacillus parabrevis BCP-09 and its enzymes for degrading pyrethroids.

Article Synopsis
- * A new method was developed to detect 16 legacy organochlorine pesticides and various metabolites in serum, using techniques like solid-phase extraction and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
- * The analytical results were promising, showing accurate detection of multiple pesticides, with a proof-of-concept involving 10 volunteers revealing exposure to pesticides at measurable concentrations, aligning with other biomonitoring studies.
Pre-Conception And First Trimester Exposure To Pesticides And Associations With Stillbirth.

Associations of pesticide exposures during pre-conception with stillbirth have not been well explored. We linked Arizona pesticide use records with birth certificates from 2006-2020 and estimated associations of living within 500meters of any pyrethroid, organophosphate (OP), or carbamate pesticide applications during a 90 day pre-conception window or the first trimester, with stillbirth. We considered a binary measure of exposure (any exposure), as well as log-pounds and log-acres applied within 500m, in a negative control exposure framework with log-binomial regression.
