  • 3-27-2017 Nerve Agents
    Week of March 13, 2017 – Nerve Agents Last month, on February 13, Kim Jong-nam, the exiled half-brother of North Korea's ruler, Kim Jong Un, was murdered by having the nerve agent, VX-gas, sprayed into his face while at Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur International Airport. According to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), VX is the most toxic nerve agent ever synthesized. The CFR (founded in 1921) is a United States 4900-member organization, nonprofit, publisher, and think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. The median lethal dose (LD50) of VX due to skin contact (not ingestion) for humans is estimated to be about 10 mg or 0.00035 ounces (that’s about 1/20 of a drop of liquid!). The median lethal airborne concentration (LC50) for this material, for which humans would inhale, is estimated to be 30 – 50 milligrams per cubic meter for only one minute! Typically, inhalation exposures are measured over an 8-hour time period. Yet, the effectiveness of VX is measured as an airborne exposure contaminant within a minute time period! VX is one a of number of chemical substances that is classified as a nerve agent. The principal nerve agents are sarin (GB), soman (GD), tabun (GA), and VX. They are manmade compounds that have been manufactured for the sole purpose to be used in chemical warfare. Nerve agents are organophosphorus compounds and therefore, are similar in mechanism of action as a number of pesticides; some of the most notable being malathion, parathion, and diazinon. As its name implies, these chemicals have a phosphorus atom connected to an organic molecule; the molecular variations of these materials are quite numerous.

  • Azinphos Methyl Analysis of Risks to Endangered and Threatened Salmon and Steelhead
    Azinphos methyl Analysis of Risks to Endangered and Threatened Salmon and Steelhead July 23, 2003 William Erickson, Ph.D. and Larry Turner, Ph.D. Environmental Field Branch Office of Pesticide Programs Summary Azinphos methyl is an organophosphate pesticide registered for control of insects on a variety of crops, mainly fruits and nuts. Azinphos methyl is very highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. An ecological risk assessment that includes nontarget aquatic organisms was prepared by OPP’s Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED) in 1999, and an Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision (IRED) was issued in October of 2001. The assessment concludes that acute and chronic Levels of Concern (LOCs) are exceeded for threatened and endangered (T&E or listed) freshwater fish as a result of runoff and drift of azinphos methyl from all treatment sites. Acute and chronic levels of concern also are exceeded for individuals of T&E invertebrates, as well as populations of invertebrates that may serve as food for listed fish. A subsequent agreement between azinphos methyl registrants and the Agency has led to 23 uses being canceled; seven other uses being phased out in 2005. Mitigation measures will reduce application rates and add no-spray buffers to product labels. Despite these measures, we conclude that azinphos methyl may affect 25 Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) and will have no effect on one ESU. Our determinations are based on the known or potential use of azinphos methyl on various use sites in each county where there is habitat or a migration corridor for an ESU and the acute and chronic risks of azinphos methyl to endangered fish.

Carusone , Franz Worek , Antonio Pisanti , Piero Porcaro6, Chiara Schiraldi3, Mario De Rosa3, Ilaria Palchetti 2 & Giuseppe Manco1 Accepted: 25 July 2018 Published: xx xx xxxx Pesticides and warfare nerve agents are frequently organophosphates (OPs) or related compounds. Their acute toxicity highlighted more than ever the need to explore applicable strategies for the sensing, decontamination and/or detoxifcation of these compounds. Herein, we report the use of two diferent thermostable enzyme families capable to detect and inactivate OPs. In particular, mutants of carboxylesterase-2 from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius and of phosphotriesterase-like lactonases from Sulfolobus solfataricus and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, have been selected and assembled in an optimized format for the development of an electrochemical biosensor and a decontamination formulation, respectively. The features of the developed tools have been tested in an ad-hoc fabricated chamber, to mimic an alarming situation of exposure to a nerve agent. Choosing ethyl-paraoxon as nerve agent simulant, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 nM, after 5 s of exposure time was obtained. Furthermore, an optimized enzymatic formulation was used for a fast and efcient environmental detoxifcation (>99%) of the nebulized nerve agent simulants in the air and on surfaces. Crucial, large- scale experiments have been possible thanks to production of grams amounts of pure (>90%) enzymes. Pesticides and warfare nerve agents are frequently organophosphates (OPs) or related compounds (e.g.
