“…Moreover, their ability to cause anxiety and depression is newly observed and needs to be thoroughly investigated. Epidemiological studies have reported higher incidences of depression in particular groups of individuals, such as those with chronic health conditions [41,42], and individuals in specific occupations, such as farming, fishing, and forestry [42,43]. The reason behind the elevated risk of mood disorders in farming populations is unclear.…”

The increase of production and consumption persistently introduce different pollutants into the environment. The constant development and improvement of analytical methods for tracking environmental contaminants are essential. The demand for high sample throughput analysis has hit the spotlight for developing selective sensors to avoid time-consuming sample preparation techniques. In addition, the sensor’s sensitivity should satisfy the rigorous demands of harmful compound tracking. Molecularly imprinted plasmonic-based sensors are excellent candidates to overcome selectivity and sensitivity issues. Molecularly imprinted polymers are robust, stable in aqueous and organic solvents, stable at extreme pHs and temperatures, and include a low-cost synthesis procedure. Combined with plasmonic-based techniques, they are the perspective choice for applications in the field of environmental protection. Plasmonic-based sensors offer a lower limit of detection, a broad linearity range, high sensitivity, and high selectivity compared to other detection techniques. This review outlines the optical plasmonic detection of different environmental contaminants with molecularly imprinted polymers as sensing elements. The main focus is on the environmental pollutants affecting human and animal health, such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones, microorganisms, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dyes, and metal particles. Although molecularly imprinted plasmonic-based sensors currently have their application mostly in the biomedical field, we are eager to point them out as a highly prospective solution for many environmental problems.

“…The reason behind the elevated risk of mood disorders in farming populations is unclear. Some researchers have reported a link between pesticide exposure, mood disorders, and suicidal behavior [42,44]. Organophosphate pesticides, in particular, are associated with an elevated risk of a neuropsychiatric disorder [42,44].…”

“…Organophosphates (OPs) are among the most toxic substances to humans ever known due to their ability to irreversibly inhibit enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which has a substantial role in the transmission of neuronal impulses by the cholinergic neurons, being present in both peripheral and central nervous system [1,2]. Despite well-known hazardous effects on human health, they persist in agriculture, mainly as pesticides.…”

An Insight into the Efficient Dimethoate Adsorption on Graphene-Based Materials—A Combined Experimental and DFT Study

(1) Background: The development of highly efficient methods for removing hazardous substances from the environment attracts increasing attention. Understanding the basic principles of the removal processes using graphene materials is equally essential to confirm their application efficiency and safety. (2) Methods: In this contribution, adsorption of pesticide dimethoate (DMT) on graphene-based materials has been investigated on the molecular level. (3) Results: The experimental results’ analysis revealed a cooperative binding mechanism of the DMT on the adsorption sites of investigated materials—graphene oxide (GO) and industrial graphene (IG). The adsorption data were analyzed using various adsorption isotherms to determine the thermodynamics of the adsorption process. The experimental results were correlated with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of DMT adsorption on the model surfaces that appropriately describe the graphene materials’ reactive features. (4) Conclusions: Considering experimental results, calculated adsorption energies, optimized adsorption geometries, and electronic structure, it was proposed that the dispersive interactions determine the adsorption properties of DMT on plain graphene sites (physisorption). Additionally, it was shown that the existence of vacancy-type defect sites on the surfaces could induce strong and dissociative adsorption (chemisorption) of DMT.

“…They exert their toxicity towards animals due to the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), one of the most important enzymes in the nervous system [4,5]. Many methods for removing pesticides from the environment include adsorption, degradation, and microbiological treatment [6]. Among the mentioned processes, adsorption is most frequently used because it is effective, affordable, environmentally friendly and robust.…”

Due to the accumulation of pesticides in the environment, the development of efficient strategies for their removal is of utmost importance. Activated carbons are currently seen as excellent candidates for adsorptive pesticide removal based on several beneficial properties, like a large surface area, developed porosity, and low price. However, a deep link between materials' properties and performance is still elusive. Here we focus on the kinetics of three organophosphate pesticides removal, aliphatic dimethoate and malathion and aromatic chlorpyrifos, using a series of carefully prepared activated carbon fibers. Used adsorbents have a wide range of specific surface areas, pore size distributions, and elemental content, allowing the establishment of the link between physicochemical properties and their performance as adsorbents. We use data analysis tools to link these properties and discuss their different roles in the removal of three structurally different yet extremely dangerous pesticides. The obtained results can guide the synthesis of novel adsorbents or rationally select adsorbents for specific target pollutants based on the physicochemical properties of adsorbents and the chemical structure of pollutants.
