Article Abstract
While combinations of pesticides better represent actual conditions within aquatic ecosystems, the specific toxic effects of these combinations have not been determined yet. The objective of this research was to assess the combined impact of imazalil and azoxystrobin on the hook snout carp (Opsariichthys bidens) and delve into the underlying causes. Our findings indicated that the 4-day LC value for imazalil (1.85 mg L) was greater than that for azoxystrobin (0.90 mg L). When imazalil and azoxystrobin were combined, they presented a heightened effect on the species. Enzyme activities like SOD, CAT, GST, and CarE, along with androgen and estrogen levels, displayed marked differences in most single and combined treatments in comparison to the baseline group. Moreover, four genes (mn-sod, cu-sod, il-1, and esr) related to oxidative stress, immunity, and the endocrine system exhibited more pronounced expression changes when exposed to combined pesticides rather than individual ones. Our tests revealed that the combined use of imazalil and azoxystrobin had more detrimental effect on aquatic vertebrates than when evaluated individually. This finding suggested that future ecological hazard analyses based only on individual tests might not sufficiently safeguard our aquatic ecosystems.

In this study, we developed a simultaneous analysis method for eight post-harvest fungicides commonly used on imported fruits and vegetables using high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The tested fungicides included azoxystrobin, imazalil, propiconazole, pyrimethanil, thiabendazole, difenoconazole, ortho-phenylphenol and fludioxonil. The proposed method employed specialised solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns tailored for these fungicides, streamlining sample preparation and improving our previously developed multi-residue pesticide and preservative analysis techniques.

Cyproconazole (CPZ) was identified as a new postharvest fungicide with incomplete cross resistance to other DMI fungicides registered for managing major decays of citrus. CPZ was effective on lemons, oranges, grapefruit, and mandarins, significantly reducing sour rot (Geotrichum citri-aurantii) and green mold (Penicillium digitatum). In laboratory and experimental packingline studies, CPZ was compatible with other fungicides, performed well in fruit coatings, and was effective using different application systems.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the detection of various common pesticides using a specialized chemical ionization technique linked to an advanced mass spectrometer, testing different samples like pesticide mixtures and fruit extracts.
- - A total of 115 pesticides were identified, achieving a high recovery rate of 92% for commonly analyzed chemicals, outperforming traditional gas chromatography methods that only detected about 45-34% of targets.
- - Experiments involving pineapple samples successfully revealed the presence of several pesticides below their maximum residue levels, demonstrating the methodology's effectiveness for detecting contaminants in real fruit material.

Pesticides are extensively used in the cultivation and postharvest protection of citrus fruits, therefore continuous monitoring and health risk assessments of their residues are required. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of pesticide residues on citrus fruits and to evaluate the acute and chronic risk for adults and children. The risk ranking of twenty-three detected pesticides was carried out according to a matrix ranking scheme.
