An ultrastable 2D covalent organic framework coating for headspace solid-phase microextraction of organochlorine pesticides in environmental water. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 452:131228. [PMID: 36963192 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Herein, a quinoline-linked ultrastable 2D covalent organic framework (COF-CN) coated fiber was successfully prepared and used for highly-sensitive headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in environmental water. The extraction efficiency of the COF-CN coating for all 14 OCPs was higher than that of four commercial SPME fiber coatings and most of the published works, with enrichment factors ranging from 540 to 5065. In combination with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), a wide linear range (0.05-200 ng/L), low detection limits (LODs, 0.0010-13.54 ng/L) and satisfactory reproducibility and repeatability were obtained under optimal conditions. Compared with the published works, the LODs of the developed technique were improved 2-5.9 times, and the enrichment factors (EFs) of the developed method were enhanced at least 2 times. The COF-CN coated fiber can be easily recycled and reused at least 70 times without any washing step. The adsorption mechanism was first characterized by density functional theory calculations and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Besides, the established method was successfully applied to the analysis of the distribution of trace OCPs in real water samples from Henan Province. All these results proved the promising application of the developed HS-SPME-GC-MS/MS method for organic pollutants analysis in water samples.

Abstract
Organochlorines pesticides (OCPs) are persistent organic pollutants known by their persistence, their ability to bioaccumulate in the food chain and by their toxicity. This work aims to analyze pesticides in draining water samples taken from two different regions from Tunisia. A liquid-liquid extraction method proposed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been adopted for the extraction of OCPs from draining water. The analysis of these compounds was carried out with a gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Eight draining water sample was analyzed from the region of Kebili and levels of OCPs ranged between ND and 3.415 ng L-1. Four draining water samples were sampled from the region of Cap Bon and levels of OCPs in draining water varied between 14.955 and 59.305 ng L-1. The concentration of OCPs in draining water didn't exceed the limits standardized by the regulations for drainage water, which makes possible the reuse of this water for agricultural purposes after having undergone a secondary treatment.

Zhang Y, Zhang H, Yang M. Profiles and risk assessment of legacy and current use pesticides in urban rivers in Beijing, China. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:39423-39431. [PMID: 33755890 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-13140-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Pesticides in the environment can pose serious risks to aquatic ecosystems. This study focused on the existence of 27 pesticides, including 13 pesticides regulated by the Stockholm Convention as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and 14 commonly used pesticides in three urban rivers in Beijing that receive effluents from three municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs). Among the 27 pesticides, 12 were detected at least once over a period of 4 seasons. Atrazine, aldrin and dieldrin were universally found in the three rivers, with the highest concentrations being 311, 163 and 23.3 ng/L, respectively. HCHs, DDTs, heptachlor and endosulfan, which are POPs, were detected at lower concentrations (ND-16.7 ng/L). Most of the insecticides and some of the herbicides in the rivers originated from MWTP effluents. The risk assessment results showed that aldrin posed medium risk (0.1 ≤ RQ < 1) to fish, and atrazine exhibited medium risk to both fish and algae. Despite the implementation of the Stockholm Convention and the upgrades of MWTPs emitting ozone, high loads of aldrin, atrazine and dieldrin were discharged to the rivers. Efforts should be devoted to identifying POP pesticide sources and upgrading MWTPs with other technologies to ensure the ecological safety of rivers.

Hyphenated dispersive solid- and liquid-phase microextraction technique based on a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent: application for trace analysis of pesticides in fruit juices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pesticides are extensively used worldwide to control plant pathogens and prevent agricultural product damage. However, they can pollute the environment and endanger human health. So far, a variety of sample preparation methods have been developed for the analysis of pesticide residues. RESULTS A hyphenated solid-liquid microextraction method based on a new adsorbent of magnetic graphene oxide functionalized by (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane and a deep eutectic solvent (choline chloride/4-chlorophenol (1:2)) was developed for extraction/preconcentration of trace levels of pesticides. The sorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. In-syringe magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction in tandem with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction followed by gas chromatography was applied for the analysis of the selected pesticides. The main parameters governing sample preparation efficiency, including adsorbent dosage, desorption conditions, pH, extraction time, deep eutectic solvent volume, and salt concentration, were investigated. The linear ranges were 0.024-500 μg L-1 with 0.9971-0.9999 linearity factor (R2 ). The limits of detection and quantification were 0.006-0.038 and 0.024-0.126 μg L-1 , respectively. The relative standard deviations were 0.5-4.2% for intra-day analysis and 2.7-4.6% for inter-day analysis. Enrichment factors were in the range 210-540. CONCLUSIONS The method was successfully applied for the determination of malathion, heptachlor epoxide, endrin, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, azinphos ethyl, cypermethrin, and deltamethrin in fruit juice samples (apple, pineapple, cherry, peach, and red and green grape juices) and the recoveries were within the range 71-115%. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The application of pesticides reduces the loss of crops while simultaneously increasing crop productivity. However, the frequent use of pesticides can cause serious environmental problems due to their high accumulative and persistent nature. Recently, microalgae technology has received considerable success in the efficient treatment of pesticides pollution. In this review, the metabolic mechanisms responsible for the removal of pesticides are summarized based on previous studies. Different methods used to enhance the ability of microalgae to remove pesticides are critically evaluated. The recycling of microalgae biomass after wastewater treatment for biochar preparation and biodiesel production using the biorefinery approach is also introduced. Furthermore, we present potential future research directions to highlight the prospects of microalgae research in the removal of pesticides along with the production of value-added products.
