The residues of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) have been widely detected in rivers,
the gulf, and even groundwater and drinking water, which may pose a serious threat to …

Pesticides play an important role in promoting agricultural development, while their
unreasonable use has led to environmental problems. Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a typical …

An enrichment culture technique was used for the isolation of bacteria responsible for
biodegradation of diazinon in soil. Three bacterial strains were screened and identified by …

While studies have documented the presence of pyrethroid insecticides at acutely toxic
concentrations in sediments, little quantitative data on sources exist. Urban runoff, municipal …

A wide variety of chemicals and biological products are used to treat the water and sediment

The ability of diazinon-degrading Serratia marcescens to remove organophosphorus
pesticides (OPPs), ie chlorpyrifos (CP), fenitrothion (FT), and parathion (PT) was studied in a …

This paper introduces the field of mixture toxicity and the challenges in regulating pesticide
mixtures. Even though pesticides are unique chemical stressors designed to have biological …

The acute toxicity of chlorpyrifos and its principal metabolite 3, 5, 6-trichloropyridinol (TCP)
alone and in combination to a cladoceran, Daphnia carinata, was studied in both cladoceran …
