In this study, we report the synthesis and application of a nanocomposite comprising metal-organic framework MIL-101(Cr) and graphene nanopowder (GNP) as a promising sorbent for the extraction of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) in juices, water, vegetables and honey samples. A syringe filter, for the first time, was used to host the synthesized nanocomposite and extract the OPPs followed by GC-MS analysis. Different characterization methods including XRD, FTIR, TGA, BET and SEM were employed to confirm the formation of studied nanocomposite. The results indicated that the GNP/MIL-101(Cr) could provide higher capacity for adsorption of OPPs and lower detection limit compared to pristine MIL-101(Cr). The detection limits were 0.005 to 15.0 µg/Kg and the linear range found between 0.05 and 400 µg/Kg. The proposed method showed very good repeatability with the RSD values ranging from 2.9% to 7.1%. The recoveries were between 84% -110% with the spiked levels of 2.0-100.0 µg/Kg.

The abuse of chlorpyrifos (CPF), an organophosphorus pesticide, poses significant health risks to humans. Therefore, rapid and accurate detection of residual CPF is crucial to human health due to its high risk in trace amounts. Herein, we developed a simple aptasensor that combines a DNA hydrogel-based self-driven capillary with nicking enzyme-mediated amplification (NEMA), in which the NEMA is triggered through the interaction of the aptamer with CPF, and then amplified to produce a large number of single-stranded DNA that can destroy the three-dimensional structure of the DNA hydrogel.

The application of agrochemicals such as organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) has several benefits in agriculture but also poses great risks to the environment and human well-being. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the concentrations, distribution pattern, relationships, potential risks and sources of OPPs in agricultural soils and vegetables from Delta Central District (DCD) of Nigeria to provide useful information for pollution history, establishment of pollution control measures and risk management. Fourteen OPPs were determined in the soil and vegetables using a gas chromatograph-mass selective detector (GC-MSD).

Heavy metals (HMs) and pesticides disrupt aquatic biodiversity and microbial communities, contributing to antibiotic resistance via cross-resistance and co-selection mechanisms. This study investigates the relationship between organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), HMs, microbial diversity, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in eight lakes and wetlands. Microbial communities were analyzed via metagenomics methods, and data were processed using CLC Genomics Workbench 22.

In this study, a signal amplification strategy was developed, which tris (2, 2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium (II) (Ru(bpy)) was incorporated as a guest molecule into the preparation system of lanthanide-based metal-organic framework (MOF). This strategy relied on strong electrostatic interactions and coordination competition to influence the growth process of the MOF, resulting in the firm immobilization of Ru(bpy) within the MOF structure. The spatial confinement effect of the MOF effectively improved the efficiency of electron transfer in the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reaction.

Organophosphorus (OP) compounds pose a serious risk to human health by covalently modifying acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Currently approved oxime therapeutics can reactivate OP-inhibited AChE and BChE, despite significant limitations. The OP-inhibited enzymes undergo a secondary -dealkylation event, known as aging, for which no currently approved therapeutics are effective as treatments.
