Abstract
Pyriproxyfen is a pyridine-based insecticide used for pest control in fruits and vegetables. It is a potent endocrine disruptor and hormone imitator. Considering its potential hazards to non-target organisms and the associated environment, a lab study was conducted for assessing persistence, mobility in sandy loam soil and associated risk to various non-target organisms and soil enzymes. Pyriproxyfen formulation was applied at 0.05 and 0.10 µg g-1 soil which was equivalent to recommended and double dose of 100 and 200 g a.i. ha-1, respectively. Three methods namely QuEChERS, liquid-solid extraction (LSE) and matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) were compared for achieving efficient sample preparation. MSPD was applied for final analysis as it gave better recoveries (94.2 to 104.3%) over other methods with limits of detection and quantification (LOD and LOQ) as 0.0001 and 0.0005 µg g-1, respectively. Dissipation followed first order kinetics with half-lives of 7.6 and 8.2 days in both doses but residues retained over 45 days in soil. Leaching studies conducted at 50 and 100 µg of pyriproxyfen showed extremely poor leaching potential. Retention of over 90% residues in top 5 cm soil surface indicated minimal threat of ground and surface water contamination. Toxicological study demonstrated very different behaviour toward different enzymatic activities. Pyriproxyfen was relatively toxic for alkaline phosphatase and fluorescein diacetate hydrolase enzymes. β-glucosidase activity was triggered whereas arylsulfatase activity remained unaffected. Unacceptable risk to soil invertebrates at double dose application clearly indicated that its longer persistence in soil could be toxic to other non-target organisms and needs further investigations.

Abstract
We synthesized nine pyriproxyfen (PYR) metabolites and developed a chiral residual analysis method for PYR with its metabolites in five soils using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Soil degradation research showed that higher organic matter content and bigger soil particle size were conducive to the degradation of PYR and metabolites. Metabolite A 4'-OH-PYR was mainly found in five soils. PYR and metabolite A performed enantioselective degradation in soil with half-lives ranging from 2.11 d to 9.69 d and 2.80 d to 13.30 d, respectively. The activity of dehydrogenase, sucrase was inhibited and catalase activity was promoted under the disturbance of PYR. Urease was more sensitive to PYR with uncertain influences. Most soil enzymes were not restored to their initial active state after 120 d. The toxicity of metabolites to earthworms was greater than that of the parent compound PYR. This study provides the basic degradation and toxicity data of chiral pesticide PYR and its main metabolites in soil ecosystem, which is of great significance for guiding safe use and comprehensive evaluation of PYR on environmental risk.

Abstract
Endosulfan is an organochloride and persistent pesticide that has caused concern because of its impact in the environment and its toxicity to and bioaccumulation in living organisms. In this study, we isolated an endosulfan-degrading fungus from the activated sludge from an industrial wastewater treatment plant. Through repetitive enrichment and successive subculture in media containing endosulfan as the sole carbon source, a fungus designated CHE 23 was isolated. Based on a phylogenetic analysis, strain CHE 23 was assigned to the genus Penicillium sp. In a mineral salt medium with 50 mg/l endosulfan as the sole source carbon, CHE 23 removed the added endosulfan in a period of six days. To verify the decrease in endosulfan toxicity due to the activity of the fungus, we performed genotoxicity tests trough the single cell gel electrophoresis assay or comet assay, with Eisenia fetida as the bioindicator species. This organism was exposed to the supernatants of the culture of the fungus and endosulfan. Our results indicated that the genotoxicity of endosulfan was completely reduced due the activity of this fungus. These results suggest that the Penicillium sp. CHE 23 strain can be used to degrade endosulfan residues and/or for water and soil bioremediation processes without causing toxicity problems, which are probably due to the generation of no-toxic metabolites during biodegradation.

Abstract
Endosulfan is a lypophilic persistent organic pollutant (POP) that has caused widespread concern due to its persistence in the environment, toxicity and bioaccumulation in living organisms. The aim of this study is to isolate endosulfan-degrading bacteria taken from five coffee farms historically exposed to this insecticide which could be used in future remediation strategies. The biodegradation capability of the isolated strain as well as endosulfan's impact on some of the strain's biological functions was studied. Endosulfan and its metabolites were analyzed using TLC and GC-MS. The isolated strain, capable of growing in a liquid culture treated with this insecticide as the sole sulfur source rather than a carbon source, was selected for further study. The isolated bacterium is Gram-negative, having the morphological and biochemical characteristics of Azotobacter sp. The remaining concentrations after 6 days, using 2 and 10 mg l(-1) of endosulfan, were 57.6 and 72.3% respectively, and the degradation constants were 0.12 d(-1) and 0.26 d(-1). Four metabolites were detected, one of which was identified as endosulfan ether. Endosulfan reduced nitrogenase activity but had no impact on indole 3-acetic acid production. Thus, these results suggest that this strain has the potential to act as a biocatalyst in endosulfan degradation.
