Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that has been widely used to control insect pests
in agricultural fields for decades. It shows insecticidal activity mainly by blocking the normal …

In this paper, we review the effects of large-scale neonicotinoid contaminations in the
aquatic environment on non-target aquatic invertebrate and vertebrate species. These …

The present study aimed to assess the ecological risk of 30 current-use agricultural
pesticides and biocides in the soil, sediments and aquatic organisms of a mixed land-use …

Abstract Rivers in Southeast Brazil are essential as sources of drinking water, energy
production, irrigation, and industrial processes. The Piracicaba, Capivari, and Jundiaí rivers …

Neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) are the fastest-growing class in agricultural protection.
They target nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in pests, stimulating the nervous …

Coastal agricultural practices are often located in catchments upstream of ecologically
important aquatic systems. Here, we investigate the occurrence of pesticides in a coastal …

Our mechanistic understanding of the toxicity of chemicals that target biochemical and/or
physiological pathways, such as pesticides and medical drugs is that they do so by binding …

Global demand for safe and sustainable water supplies necessitates a better understanding
of contaminant exposures in potential reuse waters. In this study, we compared exposures …

Neonicotinoids emerged as an environmentally safe alternative to previous generations of
insecticides becoming one of the most widely applied in modern agriculture. Nevertheless …

The global intensification of agriculture has resulted in pesticides playing an increasingly
important role as anthropogenic stressors and drivers of environmental change. There is …
