Comparative degradation of organophosphorus insecticides in soil: specificity of enhanced microbial degradation Abstract Laboratory experiments investigated the comparative degradation of six organophosphorus insecticides in soil as affected by enhanced microbial degradation. The degradation rates and product distributions of chlorpyrifos, fonofos, ethoprop, terbufos, and phorate were not dramatically altered in soils containing microbial populations adapted to rapidly degrade isofenphos. An Arthrobacter sp. isolated from soils with a history of isofenphos use rapidly metabolized isofenphos in pure culture but did not metabolize or cometabolize any of the other five organophosphorus insecticides. Likewise, only fonofos was rapidly degraded in soil with a long history of fonofos use. None of the organophosphorus insecticides were rapidly degraded in soil containing carbofuran-degrading microbial populations. Results indicate that the phenomenon of enhanced microbial degradation of soil insecticides may exhibit some degree of specificity.

  • Lifetime Organophosphorous Insecticide Use Among Private Pesticide Applicators in the Agricultural Health Study

All rights reserved 1559-0631/12 www.nature.com/jes ORIGINAL ARTICLE Lifetime organophosphorous insecticide use among private pesticide applicators in the Agricultural Health Study Jane A. Hoppin1, Stuart Long2, David M. Umbach3, Jay H. Lubin4, Sarah E. Starks5, Fred Gerr5, Kent Thomas6, Cynthia J. Hines7, Scott Weichenthal8, Freya Kamel1, Stella Koutros9, Michael Alavanja9, Laura E. Beane Freeman9 and Dale P. Sandler1 Organophosphorous insecticides (OPs) are the most commonly used insecticides in US agriculture, but little information is available regarding specific OP use by individual farmers. We describe OP use for licensed private pesticide applicators from Iowa and North Carolina in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) using lifetime pesticide use data from 701 randomly selected male participants collected at three time periods. Of 27 OPs studied, 20 were used by 41%. Overall, 95% had ever applied at least one OP. The median number of different OPs used was 4 (maximum ¼ 13). Malathion was the most commonly used OP (74%) followed by chlorpyrifos (54%). OP use declined over time. At the first interview (1993--1997), 68% of participants had applied OPs in the past year; by the last interview (2005--2007), only 42% had. Similarly, median annual application days of OPs declined from 13.5 to 6 days. Although OP use was common, the specific OPs used varied by state, time period, and individual. Much of the variability in OP use was associated with the choice of OP, rather than the frequency or duration of application.

  • Fonofos Method No.: PV2027 Target Concentration: 0.1 Mg/M3 Skin
    Fonofos Method no.: PV2027 Target Concentration: 0.1 mg/m3 Skin (ACGIH TLV-TWA) Procedure: Samples are collected by drawing a known volume of air through an OSHA versatile sampler (OVS-2) tube, containing a glass fiber filter and two sections of XAD-2 adsorbent. Samples are desorbed with toluene and an internal standard and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) using a flame photometric detector (FPD) in the phosphorus mode. Recommended air volume and sampling rate: 480 minutes at 1.0 L/min (480 L) Detection limit of the overall procedure 0.00044 mg/m3 (based on the recommended air volume and the analytical detection limit): Status of method: Partially Validated method. This method has been partially evaluated and is presented for information and trial use only. July 1989 (final) David B. Armitage Carcinogen and Pesticide Branch OSHA Salt Lake Technical Center Sandy UT 84070 1 of 8 1 General Discussion 1.1 Background 1.1.1 History of procedure This evaluation was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of the OVS-2 tube as a sampling device for fonofos. It follows the procedure developed for several other organophosphorus pesticides. (Ref. 5.1) 1.1.2 Toxic effects (This section is for information only and should not be taken as the basis of OSHA policy). The following paragraph is excerpted from the book OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES, A Guide to Their Recognition. (Ref. 5.2) The organic phosphorus compounds act as irreversible inhibitors of cholinesterase, thereby allowing the accumulation of large amounts of acetylcholine. When a critical level of cholinesterase depletion is reached, usually about 20% of normal, symptoms, and signs of acetylcholine accumulation poisoning become manifest.

  • Seasonal Pesticide Use in a Rural Community on the US/Mexico Border

As part of the study, homes were visited during the late spring or summer, and during the winter of 2000–2001. At each visit, families reported on their use of pesticides in and around the home and floor wipe samples were collected and analyzed for 14 organophosphate and triazine pesticides. Selection of homes was based on the presence of infants and toddlers. A total of 27 homes participated in both seasonal visits. The interval between visits was 671.4 months. Univariate and multivariate nonparametric analyses were carried out using SPSSs statistical software. Pesticide use within the home was more often reported than outside use and showed seasonal variation in use patterns. Indoor use was primarily associated with ants and cockroaches, and secondarily with rodents.
