Enhanced visual detection of pesticides using gold nanoparticles

The presence of parts per billion (ppb) levels of chlorpyrifos (O,O-Diethyl-O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl) phosphorothioate) and malathion (S-1,2-bis(ethoxycarbonyl) ethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate), two common pesticides found in the surface waters of developing countries, have been visually detected using gold nanoparticles. Visual detection of the presence of pesticide is possible when the color change occurring by the adsorption of pesticides on gold nanoparticles is enhanced by sodium sulfate. The method presented here is simple and there is no need of sample preparation or preconcentration. The response occurs within seconds and the color change is very clear. The detection is possible if chlorpyrifos and malathion are present up to a concentration of 20 and 100 ppb, respectively. The method shows great potential for on-site pesticide monitoring. The method is also applicable as a qualitative technique for the performance evaluation of various household water filters, which claim pesticide removal.

In vivo genotoxicity assessment of titanium,zirconium and aluminium nanoparticles,and their microparticulated forms,in Drosophila

As in vivo system, we propose Drosophila melanogaster as a useful model for study the genotoxic risks associated with nanoparticle exposure. In this study we have carried out a genotoxic evaluation of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) and aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles and their microparticulated forms in D. melanogaster by using the wing somatic mutation and recombination assay. This assay is based on the principle that loss of heterozygosis and the corresponding expression of the suitable recessive markers, multiple wing hairs and flare-3, can lead to the formation of mutant clones in treated larvae, which are expressed as mutant spots on the wings of adult flies. Third instar larvae were feed with TiO₂, ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃ nanoparticles, and their microparticulated forms, at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 mM. Although a certain level of aggregation/agglomeration was observed in solution, it must be noted than the constant digging activity of larvae ensures that treated medium pass constantly through the digestive tract ensuring exposure. The results showed that no significant increases in the frequency of all spots (e.g. small single, large single, twin, total mwh and total spots) were observed, indicating that these nanoparticles were not able to induce genotoxic activity in the wing spot assay of D. melanogaster. Negative data were also obtained with the microparticulated forms. This indicates that the nanoparticulated form of the selected nanomaterials does not modify the potential genotoxicity of their microparticulated versions. These in vivo results contribute to increase the genotoxicity database on the TiO₂, ZrO₂ and Al₂O₃ nanoparticles.     

Relevance study of bare and coated zero valent iron nanoparticles for lindane degradation from its by-product monitorization

Zero-valent iron nanoparticles (NZVI) as well as polymer–stabilized nanoparticles were synthesized and used for lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane) degradation in aqueous solution. To study the effectiveness of the different coated nanoparticles, simple and rapid analytical methods have been developed to measure and to detect lindane and its by-products. For the monitorization of lindane degradation solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used, while volatile by-products formation measurement was carried out by headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS–SPME) followed by GC/MS. The SPE–GC/MS method provides low detection limits (0.2 μg L⁻¹), high recovery (above 95%) and it is a valuable tool for kinetic studies of the degradation process for each polymer used, while HS–SPME–GC/MS has proved to be an effective tool for the extraction and evaluation of volatile degradation by-products.

酞菁锌改性介孔分子筛催化降解孔雀石绿

不同培养介质中纳米氧化铜对小麦毒性的影响

采用琼脂培养和水培方法比较了纳米氧化铜(CuONPs)在不同暴露介质中的环境化学行为及其对小麦根生长的影响,并探讨了不同培养介质对CuONPs植物毒性的影响机制.结果表明,琼脂介质相对水相(营养液)环境可以减少CuONPs的团聚,增强其分散性.在琼脂和水相中Cu离子溶出随CuONPs浓度变化规律存在明显差异,在50～1000mg CuONPs·L-(1以Cu计)范围内,CuONPs在琼脂中无论是Cu2+的溶出浓度还是溶出比率均低于其在水相中的值.CuONPs在不同介质中表现出显著的小麦毒性差异.琼脂培养下小麦根生长半抑制效应浓度EC50(以CuONPs浓度表示)为108mg·L-1,而在水培方式下为9.0mg·L-1,说明琼脂介质极大缓解了CuONPs引起的植物毒性.分析表明,Cu2+溶出浓度较CuONPs投放量与小麦根生长抑制效应之间存在更好的指数相关关系,这说明该研究体系下CuONPs小麦毒性主要是由纳米颗粒释放Cu2+引起的.此结论较好地解释了当培养介质从水相变成琼脂时,Cu2+溶出减少,纳米毒性降低的现象.该研究结果认为,当前国内外使用水培法获得的纳米材料植物毒性研究结果在外推至实际土壤状况时将高估其环境安全性风险,推荐使用琼脂作为纳米材料土壤环境风险评价的模拟介质.
