Article Abstract

Fenpropathrin and fenvalerate are two widely used pyrethroid insecticides. Due to one and two asymmetrical centers, fenpropathrin and fenvalerate consist of two and four stereoisomers, respectively. In the present study, the degradation of fenpropathrin and fenvalerate in two soils, an alkaline soil and an acidic soil, was investigated using enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the following results were obtained. (i) Degradation of fenpropathrin and fenvalerate in alkaline soil was slightly enantioselective with S-fenpropathrin and alphaS,2R-fenvalerate being faster degraded, respectively. (ii) Fenpropathrin and fenvalerate were found configurationally unstable in alkaline soil and significant racemization at the chiral alpha-C position took place along with the degradation process. The racemization is chemically induced since it occurred under both nonsterilized and sterilized conditions. (iii) No racemization was observed in acidic soil. The soil pH dependent effect of the racemization was further validated by incubating S-fenpropathrin and alphaS,2R-fenvalerate in methanol-buffer solutions with different pH values. (iv) Fenvaleric acid was identified as the main metabolite of fenvalerate, formed by cleavage of the ester bond, during fenvalerate degradation in alkaline soil. Formation of fenvaleric acid in alkaline soil was slightly enantioselective, resulting in an enrichment of S-fenvaleric acid in the soil.

Rationale: Following the withdrawal of organochlorines and organophosphates, pyrethroids have become the most used insecticides in both agricultural and domestic settings.

Objectives: We analyzed data from the French AGRICAN agricultural cohort to assess associations of occupational pyrethroid exposures and allergic/non-allergic asthma.

Methods: At enrollment, asthma diagnosed by a doctor was reported by 11 815 participants (7028 classified as non-allergic and 4458 as allergic based on the presence of eczema and/or hay fever).

Pyrethroids are one of the most commonly used insecticides worldwide in agriculture, public health, and household products. To monitor the presence of pyrethroids in the environment and in food, a broad-spectrum monoclonal antibody (mAb), CL/CN-1D2, was prepared. This mAb demonstrates a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) for different pyrethroids: cypermethrin (129.

The simultaneous detection of multiple residues of pyrethroid pesticides (PPs) on vegetables and fruits is still challenging using traditional nanosensing methods due to the high structural similarity of PPs. In this work, sensor arrays composed of three nanocomposite complexes (rhodamine B-CD@Au, rhodamine 6G-CD@Au, and coumarin 6-CD@Au) were constructed to discriminate between structurally similar PPs. Four PPs, deltamethrin, fenvalerate, cyfluthrin, and fenpropathrin, were successfully discriminated.

Pyrethroid residues in the Citarum River, Indonesia, was first investigated based on their occurrences, water assimilative capacity, and risk assessment. In this paper, first, a relatively simple and efficient method was built and validated for analysis of seven pyrethroids in a river water matrix: bifenthrin, fenpropathrin, permethrin, β-cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate, and deltamethrin. Next, the validated method was used to analyze pyrethroids in the Citarum River.

At present, the most available pyrethroid (PYR) detection methods still suffer from a narrow detection spectrum, low sensitivity, and less portability. Herein, a novel magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) sensor was elaboratively designed to detect multiple PYRs, combining a novel broad-spectrum antibody CL-CN/1D2 and synthesized immune gold-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, with the inherent response of the sensor. A series of antibodies and the immune gold-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were designed and synthesized.
