Degradation of Acephate and Its Intermediate Methamidophos: Mechanisms and Biochemical Pathways

“…Earthworms exposed to soil containing acephate also experience oxidative stress, characterized by lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, DNA damage, and changes in antioxidant enzyme status (Phugare et al, 2012). Acephate not only significantly reduces the antioxidant capacity of bird liver and kidney but also increases lipid peroxidation, interleukin and tumor necrosis factor in both organs and also affects the immune response (Tripathi et al, 2012;Farag et al, 2017). Methamidophos had a toxic effect on the number of viable counts, morphology, and histological changes of corpus luteal cells and progesterone production in bovines (Afzal et al, 2011).…”

Photocatalytic degradation of acephate in pak choi,Brassica chinensis, with Ce-doped TiO2

“…It also controls leaf miners, caterpillars, and sawflies, with a total annual usage of 4-5 million pounds of active ingredient. [3][4][5] Acephate is less persistent in the environment than many other organophosphates, with a half-life that ranges from 10 to 15 days at the recommended use rate, depending on the soil properties and environmental conditions. [6][7][8] However, the extensive and indiscriminate use of acephate has led to the accumulation of its residues in various agricultural products.…”
