Despite their usefulness, these insecticides can pose a dangerous risk to the safety of food, environment and all living things through various mechanisms of action. Concern about the environmental impact of repeated use of insecticides has prompted many researchers to develop rapid, economical, uncomplicated and user-friendly analytical method for the detection of insecticides. In this regards, optical sensors are considered as favorable methods for insecticides analysis because of their special features including rapid detection time, low cost, easy to use and high selectivity and sensitivity. In this review, current progresses of incorporation between recognition elements and optical sensors for insecticide detection are discussed and evaluated well, by categorizing it based on insecticide chemical classes, including the range of detection and limit of detection. Additionally, this review aims to provide powerful insights to researchers for the future development of optical sensors in the detection of insecticides.

The overall objectives of the IPCS are to establish the scientific basis for assessment of the risk to human health and the environment from exposure to chemicals, through international peer review processes, as a prerequisite for the promotion of chemical safety, and to provide technical assistance in strengthening national capacities for the sound management of chemicals. This publication was developed in the IOMC context. The contents do not necessarily reflect the views or stated policies of individual IOMC Participating Organizations. The Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) was established in 1995 following recommendations made by the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development to strengthen cooperation and increase international coordination in the field of chemical safety. The Participating Organizations are: FAO, ILO, UNDP, UNEP, UNIDO, UNITAR, WHO, World Bank and OECD. The purpose of the IOMC is to promote coordination of the policies and activities pursued by the Participating Organizations, jointly or separately, to achieve the sound management of chemicals in relation to human health and the environment.

  • 2014 Summary (Pdf)
    United States Department of Agriculture December 2015 Dear Reader: We are pleased to present the Pesticide Data Program’s (PDP) 24th Annual Summary for calendar year 2014. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), conducts this program each year to collect data on pesticide residues in food. This report shows that overall pesticide residues found in foods are at levels below the tolerances set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The PDP provides reliable data that help assure consumers that the food they feed their families is safe. Over 99 percent of the products sampled through PDP had residues below the EPA tolerances. Ultimately, if EPA determines a pesticide is not safe for our families, it is removed from the market. This system of checks and balances provides Americans with the safest food supply in the world. The PDP tests a wide variety of domestic and imported foods using a sound statistical program and the most current laboratory methods. The EPA uses the PDP data when looking at dietary pesticide exposure, a critical step to verify that all sources of exposure to pesticides meet U.S. safety standards. The PDP is not designed for enforcement of EPA pesticide residue tolerances. Rather, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for enforcing EPA tolerances. PDP provides FDA and EPA with monthly reports of pesticide residue testing and informs the FDA if residues detected exceed the EPA tolerance or have no EPA tolerance established. In instances where a PDP finding is extraordinary and may pose a safety risk, FDA and EPA are notified immediately.

Esta lei define que o Ministério da Saúde, assessorado pela Comissão Nacional de Incorporação de Tecnologias – CONITEC, tem como atribuição incorporar, excluir ou alterar o uso de tecnologias em saúde, tais como medicamentos, produtos e procedimentos, bem como a constituição ou alteração de Protocolos Clínicos e Diretrizes Terapêuticas. Os Protocolos Clínicos e DiretrizesTerapêuticas (PCDT) são os documentos oficiais do SUS para estabelecer os critérios para o diagnóstico de uma doença ou agravo à saúde; o tratamento preconizado, com os medicamentos e demais produtos apropriados, quando couber; as posologias recomendadas; os mecanismos de controle clínico; e o acompanhamento e a verificação dos resultados terapêuticos a serem seguidos pelos gestores do SUS. O objetivo de um PCDT é garantir o melhor cuidado de saúde possível diante do contexto brasileiro e dos recursos disponíveis no Sistema Único de Saúde, de forma a garantir sua sustentabilidade.

  • Strong Base Pre-Treatment for Colorimetric Sensor Array Detection and Identification of N-Methyl Carbamate Pesticides†
    Strong base pre-treatment for colorimetric sensor array detection and identification of N-methyl carbamate pesticides† Sihua Qian,a Yumin Lengab and Hengwei Lin*a Colorimetric sensor arrays demonstrate numerous superior features in chemo- and bio-sensing, but they are generally not applicable to less-reactive analytes. Based on the findings that N-methyl carbamate pesticides could be decomposed into reactive phenols in basic media, herein, a novel strategy of strong base pre-treatment was developed and employed for the colorimetric sensor array detection and differentiation of the N-methyl carbamate pesticides in an indirect manner. With the use of five inexpensive and commercially available phenol responsive indicators, such a colorimetric sensor array can be facilely fabricated. Classification analysis (e.g. hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA)) reveals that the as-fabricated sensor array has an extremely high dimensionality and, consequently, exhibits excellence in discriminating a variety of N-methyl carbamates from other types of pesticides and potential interferants, and further identifying them exactly from each other. Moreover, semi-quantitative detection could also be achieved through combining HCA/PCA, recognition patterns, and corresponding fitting curves. Overall, the as-developed method exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity, good anti-interference, simultaneous detection and identification capability for each of the N-methyl carbamate pesticides, and potential applicability in real samples. Most importantly, this study demonstrates that pre-treatment strategies are very effective in expanding the range of applications of colorimetric sensor array methodology to less-reactive analytes. Introduction In the past decades, a wealth of techniques have been developed for the assay of pesticides in food and water, such as The use of pesticides plays a critical role in improving crop yield liquid/gas chromatography,3 chromatography and mass spec- in modern agriculture.
