Carbendazim (CBZ) is a steady benzimidazole fungicide broadly exploited in cultivation for pre- and post-harvest treatment to dominate microorganisms infection on several plants. CBZ causes toxic effects in the different tissues of rat via influencing biochemical and hematological factors causing histopathological alterations in the liver and kidney of rats. Banana peel (BP) makes up about 38% of the whole banana weight, BP is usually disposed of as waste that is considered as an environmental problem. BP comprise bioactive a lot of compounds that can be exploited for their unique biological and pharmacological attributes. The current study was carried out to determine the protective effect of dried banana peels consumption against carbendazim toxicity in rats. The results indicated that banana peels had the ability to counteract the toxic effect of carbendazim on rats which was evident by the improvement in liver and kidney functions, lipid profile and histopathological examination.

State Key Laboratory for Biology of Plant Disease and Insect Pests, Institute of Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing 100193, China.

Chemical control of head blight (FHB) in wheat plants is often challenged by the resistance outbreak and deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation. Developing green partners for fungicides is crucial for reducing fungal growth, mycotoxin contamination, and agricultural fungicides input. Herein, we investigated the mechanism of MgO nanoparticles (NPs) in controlling FHB.

Article Synopsis
  • - Carbendazim (CBZ) is an effective fungicide but its excessive use leads to serious environmental toxicity, so efficient degradation methods are necessary to minimize harm.
  • - Researchers developed a new photocatalyst (0.9-Ag/AgBr/BiOBr) that effectively degrades CBZ under visible light, achieving an 88.9% degradation rate at a concentration of 10 mg/L in alkaline conditions (pH 10).
  • - The study identified the main active species involved in the degradation process and proposed a degradation pathway for CBZ, alongside predicting the toxicity of the compound and its breakdown products.

Aquatic hazard and risk posed by four pesticides detected in waterways discharging to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia: Part 2. Hazard and risk assessment.

Reef Catchments Science Partnership, School of the Environment, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, Australia; Water Quality and Investigations, Queensland Department of Environment, Science and Innovation, Brisbane, Queensland 4102, Australia.

Pesticide active ingredients (PAIs) are regularly detected in the rivers, creeks, wetlands, and inshore waterways that discharge to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon. Pesticide active ingredients detected above ecologically protective concentrations may pose a hazard and risk to aquatic species. The ability to assess this hazard and risk is reliant on the availability of water quality guidelines, which are only available for a limited number of PAIs detected in GBR catchment waterways.
