Colorimetric and fluorescent sensors were developed for the detection of profenofos. The colorimetric assay relied on the aggregation of cysteine modified gold nanoparticles (Au-cys) composite caused by the hydrogen bond and Au-S bond between profenofos and Au-cys. The further addition of S, N-doped carbon quantum dots (CDs) (fluorescence quantum yield up to 98%) into the Au-cys system depended on the change of fluorescence intensity of Au-cys-CDs owing to the inner filter effect between Au-cys and CDs. Under the optimal conditions, the sensor exhibits good linearity within 0.2-1.2 mg L and 20-320 μg L, and limit of detection of 21.7 μg L and 5.5 μg L in colorimetry and fluorescence mode, respectively. The developed sensor did not only possess favorable selectivity and sensitivity, but also feasibility of usage in the actual detection of profenofos in farmland system samples.

Efficient and Sensitive Detection of Organophosphate Pesticides in Orange Juice Using Dispersed Solid-Phase Extraction Based on Amorphous UiO-66.

Organophosphate pesticides can cause long-term neurological damage to humans. There is an urgent need to develop a more sensitive and efficient method for detecting trace amounts of organophosphorus pesticides in orange juice, particularly in the presence of interfering substances. This study developed a dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) method using amorphous UiO-66 (aUiO-66) as an adsorbent for the detection of four organophosphate pesticides (fenthion, profenofos, fensulfothion, and chlorpyrifos) in orange juice.

Article Synopsis
- A hospital-based study in Hyderabad, India examined the link between pesticide exposure and the levels of a cancer-associated biomarker (8-OHdG) in farmers and non-farmers with different types of cancers.
- The research revealed that farmers with leukemia had higher pesticide residue levels in their blood compared to those with lymphoma and breast cancer, while non-farmers and healthy individuals showed no such residues.
- The findings highlighted a significant correlation between one specific pesticide (profenofos) and elevated 8-OHdG levels, indicating a need for further research to explore these associations in larger groups.
Occurrence of pesticide residues and associated ecological risks assessment in water and sediment from selected dams in northern Ghana.

Pesticides are chemicals used to enhance crop production. However, their residues can persist and accumulate in various environmental settings. This study assessed the occurrence of pesticide residues and ecological risks in surface water and sediment from the Libga and Builpela dams in northern Ghana.

An ultra-sensitive photoelectrochemical sensing platform for profenofos detection based on the inhibition of catalase activity was prepared in this work. First, the novel functional nanocomposite material AgVO/BiOI was prepared by a hot solvent method and successive ion layer adsorption reaction. Then, chitosan was employed as a dispersion medium to disperse and immobilize the catalase.
