Degradation of Diazinon based on photoelectrocatalytic technique using enhanced WO3 nanostructures: Mechanism and pathway
2021
[EN] In this work, a resistant and toxic pesticide called diazinon was degraded through the photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) technique using tungsten oxide (WO3) nanostructures, applying an external bias of 1VAg/AgCl and simulated solar illumination. For this, WO3 nanostructures have been synthesized using electrochemical anodization in 0.05 M hydrogen peroxide and 1.5 M of different acidic electrolytes: H2SO4, CH4O3S or HNO3. Morphology, composition and crystallinity of the samples were evaluated through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Raman Spectroscopy. Then, the photoelectrochemical properties of the samples were analyzed by Photo-Elect…
Synthesis of fluorinated 1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones through ANRORC rearrangement of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles
2009
Abstract The reaction of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydroxylamines has been investigated, evidencing the possibility of competitive reaction paths. Nucleophilic addition of hydroxylamine to the electrophilic C(5) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, followed by ring-opening and ring-closure with enlargement, leads to high yield and in very mild experimental conditions to the formation of 5-hydroxyamino-3-perfluoroalkyl-6 H -1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones, one of these presenting water gelation ability. In turn, reactions with N -methylhydroxylamine lead the exclusive formation of 4-perfluoroacylamino-2-methyl-2 H -1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-ones through the well known Boulton–Katritzk…
Comparative diazinon toxicity in guppy and zebra fish: Different role of oxidative metabolism
1993
Guppies pretreated with 1.1 μmol/L diazinon (0.5 times the LC50 with the guppy) for 7 d were less susceptible to the toxicity of the compound. The LC50 in these fish was about five times higher than that in nonpretreated animals. The lethal body burden and the slope of the concentration-response curve of diazinon in pretreated guppies were similar to those in zebra fish. The 7-d pretreatment of zebra fish with 12 μmol/L diazinon (0.5 times the LC50 with the zebra fish) did not affect the susceptibility of this species to diazinon. The pretreatment of guppies resulted in a strong inhibition of the formation of diazoxon and pyrimidinol during incubations of diazinon with the hepatic postmitoc…
Filtration and ingestion rates of brachionus calyciflorus after exposure to endosulfan and diazinon
1992
Abstract 1. Rotifers Brachionus calyciflorus were exposed to endosulfan and diazinon to determine the effect on nitration and ingestion rates. 2. The experiments were carried out with the algae Nannochloris oculata in a density of 5 × 105 cell/ml. 3. Rates of filtration and ingestion were decreased significantly at sublethal concentrations of pesticide tested after 5 hr exposure. 4. The effective concentration at which filtration and ingestion rates were reduced to 50% of those in controls ( ec 50) were calculated for both toxicants.
Evaluation of the efficacy of a new insecticide paint against malaria vectors
2015
La malaria continúa siendo un problema de salud pública global. Se calcula que en el mundo hay 3.300 millones de personas en 97 países y territorios que corren el riesgo de padecer el paludismo, y que para 1.200 millones ese riesgo es elevado (WHO, 2014). El control de la malaria a gran escala está altamente basado en al control del vector, principalmente mediante el uso de mosquiteras tratadas con insecticidas de larga duración (LLINs), y en menor medida, el Rociamiento Residual Intradomiciliario. Todos los tratamientos recomendados de LLINs y la mayoría del Rociamiento Residual Intradomiciliario se basan en el uso de piretroides. La creciente resistencia de los vectores de malaria a los p…
Changes in carbohydrate metabolism in the eelanguilla anguilla, during short‐term exposure to diazinon
1997
The present communication deals with the effect of diazinon (0.042 mg/L) on the energy metabolism of the european eel Anguilla anguilla. Analysis of various parameters such as glycogen, lactate and glucose was made on different eel tissues after 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hr of diazinon exposure. Liver and muscle glycogen content decreased significantly (p < 0.05) from 6 to 96 hr pesticide exposure. Mean blood glucose values were elevated significantly after exposure to this sublethal diazinon concentration. Liver, blood and muscle lactate levels in fish increased during all exposure time being the highest at 96 hr exposure. Diazinon intoxicated fish showed signs of pesticide poisoning as muscula…
Effects of diazinon exposure on cholinesterase activity in different tissues of European eel (Anguilla anguilla).
1996
Cholinesterase (ChE) activity was measured in brain, plasma, and whole eye of Anguilla anguilla experimentally exposed to a sublethal concentration of 0.042 mg/liter (0.50 of the 96-hr LC50) of the organophosphorous pesticide diazinon. Whole eye was the tissue which revealed higher values of ChE activity (8.17 micromol/min/g) in nonexposed animals. Brain, plasma, and whole eye ChE activity of A. anguilla was inhibited at 6, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hr of diazinon exposure. Pesticide induced significant inhibitory effects on the ChE activity of this species ranging from >70% inhibition in brain tissue to >90% in plasma samples. Brain and plasma presented technical difficulties in their collection.…
Chronic toxicity of diazinon todaphnia magna:Effects on survival, reproduction and growth
1995
The sublethal effect of 0.15, 0.18, 0.22, 0.25 and 0.30 μg/L diazinon on the survival, reproduction and growth of D. magna was monitored for 21 days. Neonates (≤ 24 h) were obtained from the stock cultures and raised individually in 50 mL glass beakers. All daphnids were transfered every other day to a new beaker containing fresh medium, food and the appropriate pesticide concentration. The animals were maintained in an environmental chamber at 22±1°C on a 12L: 12D photoperiod and were fed daily on 5 x 105 cell/mL of the green algae Nannochloris oculata. The parameters used to determine the effect of the pesticide on reproduction were: mean total young per female, mean brood size, mean numb…
