The adsorption mechanism of dichlorvos onto coconut fibre biochar (CFB) was investigated by the batch adsorption technique. Coconut fibre waste material was synthesised at 600 °C for 4 h under oxygen-limited conditions. The biochar was modified by HCl acid to enhance the specific surface area and porosity. The characteristics of the biochar were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area, and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR). The results showed that the BET specific surface area of biochar was 402.4 m/g. Experimental data presented a good fit to Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir isotherm illustrated that monolayer adsorption of dichlorvos occurred on the surface of CFB, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 90.9 mg/g. The diffusion model confirmed that the liquid film diffusion was the rate-limiting step, and the major diffusion mechanism of dichlorvos onto biochar. The BET result after dichlorvos adsorption demonstrated that pore-filling occurred and occupied 58.27%. The pore-filling and chemical interactions, performed important roles in the adsorption of dichlorvos onto CFB. Chemical adsorption is comprised of two interactions, which are hydrophobic and H-bonding, but the prime is H-bonding. CFB is a very potential material for the removal of dichlorvos and environmental pollutants.

Background: Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are widely used in the world, however, OPP poisoning often occurs because of improper use and lack of protective measures. Cardiotoxicity injury induced by OPPs is insidious, and it does not receive attention until the end stage of OPP poisoning. Heart failure or arrhythmia gradually becomes the main lethal cause of OPP poisoning patients.

Article Synopsis
- Dichlorvos (DDVP) is a highly toxic pesticide, making the monitoring of its residues in the environment and human health crucial, but traditional detection methods are cumbersome and not suitable for on-site testing.
- The study involved the development and testing of two aptamer probes, finding that DV55 was more effective than DV65 for detecting DDVP, with a fast reaction time of just 5 minutes and a detection range of 0-100 μM.
- The research highlights the potential of these dual-labeled aptamer probes as a portable, efficient method for rapid on-site detection of DDVP, showing promising results for future applications in pesticide monitoring.

Dichlorvos is an organophosphate pesticide that is commonly used for agricultural and domestic control of pests and insects. Despite its usefulness, it exerts reproductive toxicity and induces male sexual dysfunction. On the other hand, curcumin has been reported to improve sexual dysfunction.

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are important chemical stressors in aquatic ecosystems, and they attract increasing more attentions recently. However, the impacts of different OPPs on carbon cycling remain unclear, particularly for those functional-yet-uncultivable microbes. This study investigated the change in lake aquatic microbial communities in the presence of dichlorvos, monocrotophos, omethoate and parathion.
