“…However, continuous application can cause chronic abnormalities in humans and destroy the environment and biodiversity [1][2][3][4]. Depending on the chemical structure some pesticides are persistent in the environment and can be accumulated in cattle meat, vegetables and fruits, and eaten by humans [5][6][7][8].…”

Pesticides are used worldwide to increase crop yields in agriculture. However, their toxicity and accumulation capacity can make them toxic to the environment, animals and humans. In the case of workers chronically exposed to these substances, they must be sampled continuously, so urine is an excellent option. In this sense, this study proposes to use poly(vinyl alcohol)-malic acid hydrogels, and chitosan-coated calcium alginate as new sorbent phases to be used in pesticide determination processes in urine. To better understand the behavior of these materials in the capture and desorption process, molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) were used, and desorption experiments were performed, using mechanical agitation, ultrasound, and pH variation in the desorption process, in order to optimize the parameters to obtain better recoveries. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the maximum recoveries were of the order of 11% (CFN), 3% (KCF), 53% (DMT), 18% (MTD) and 35% (MTL). Although the recoveries were not exhaustive, they are a first approximation for the use of these new sorbent phases in the determination of this type of compound in aqueous solutions and urine.

“…However, based on the above-mentioned reports, it is seen that the first working day is used as a working day where accidents can also occur. Considering the relationship between occupational accidents and the lack of safety behavior (Heinrich, 1959;Seo, 2005;Sookhtanlou et al, 2021), it is vital to examine the relationship between orientation training and safety behavior.…”

“…It is believed that 88% of occupational accidents are caused by unsafe behaviors of employees, 10% by unsafe conditions, and the remaining 2% by unknown reasons (Seo, 2005). Many studies have been carried out about safety behavior in various sectors and professions, and poor safety behavior has DOI: https://doi.org/10.25762/6m9x-qs69 Effect of orientation training on safety behavior been shown as one of the leading causes of occupational accidents (Amponsah-Tawaih & Adu, 2016; Bae et al, 2021;Elmoujaddidi & Bachir, 2020;Gao et al, 2021;Malakoutikhah et al, 2021;Mattson Molnar et al, 2019;Sookhtanlou et al, 2021).…”

“…Therefore, the use of pesticides is essential to protect crops and promote sustainable agriculture . More than 80% of pesticides are lost through biodegradation, chemical degradation, photolysis, and evaporation, as reported by Liu et al However, the long-term widespread and inefficient use of pesticides to control pests has led to increasing resistance to pests and diseases, causing serious harm to the environment and human health . With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the use of formulations with slow and controlled release properties for control appears necessary and is one strategy to overcome or delay the development of resistance.…”

The utilization of interfacial polymerization in the preparation of microcapsules with a slow-controlled release has been shown to effectively improve pesticide efficacy and reduce environmental pollution. In this study, polyurea microcapsules loaded with lambda-cyhalothrin were prepared by an interfacial polymerization method using modified isocyanate (MDI) as the wall material and GT-34 as the initiator. The microcapsules were fully characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, etc., and release behaviors were investigated. The results indicated that the microcapsules had a smooth surface and uniform distribution, the average particle size of the microcapsules was 1.97 μm, and the encapsulation efficiency of lambda-cyhalothrin microcapsules could reach 91.48%. Compared with other commercial formulations, the microcapsules exhibited an excellent sustained release property (>7 days) in a 50% acetonitrile aqueous solution (v/v). Subsequently, in vitro release studies showed that the lambda-cyhalothrin microcapsules could consistently control the release of the core materials at different pH, temperature, and MDI addition amount conditions. The release of lambda-cyhalothrin microcapsules was in accordance with the first-order model release, which was mainly by the Fickian diffusion mechanism. Furthermore, the biological activity on Myzus persicae showed that the microcapsules’ persistence period was above 21 days, which was longer than that for the emulsifiable concentrate formulation.
