Authors: Huang, M - Wang, YP - Wang, Y - Lin, GK - Wen,... Source: ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 189 (1), 11 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108811
**Abstract:** Background: China produces and consumes a large amount of neonicotinoids.

Objective: To investigate the exposure to neonicotinoids by urinary biomonitoring in pregnant women from Wenzhou City, East China.

# Isolated and mixed effects of pure and formulated abamectin and difenoconazole on biochemical biomarkers of the gills of Danio rerio

Source: AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY 273 (1), 8 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2024.106978
**Abstract:** Pesticides are released into the environment daily, and their effects on nontarget species in aquatic ecosystems have been widely reported. To evaluate the adverse effects caused in adults of Danio rerio species exposed to the pesticides abamectin, difenoconazole, and their commercial formulations (Kraft 36EC (R) and Score 250EC (R)), both isolated and in mixtures, biochemical biomarkers were analyzed in the gills of organisms exposed to sublethal concentrations. To this end, the activities of the enzymes 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), lipid hydroperoxide (LH), and malondialdehyde (MDA), which are indicative of oxidative stress, were measured after 48 h of exposure to the different pesticide treatments. The results showed a significant increase in EROD activity and MDA levels in the gills of fish exposed to the commercial formulation of abamectin. When the fish were exposed to difenoconazole and its commercial formulation, an increase in GST, GPx, and MDA levels and a decrease in GR activity were observed in the gills. Furthermore, the responses of the biomarkers were more pronounced in organisms exposed to mixtures of both active ingredients and commercial formulations. It is concluded that the commercial formulations Kraft 36EC (R) and Score 250EC (R) and...

Authors: Gul H, Güncan A, Ullah F, Desneux N et al. Source: INSECTS 15(7): 529, 2024, DOI 10.3390/insects15070529
**Abstract:** Aphis gossypii Glover is an economically important sap-sucking insect pest that causes severe damage worldwide. The flonicamid has been widely used for controlling sap-sucking insect pests, but its intergenerational sublethal effects on key demographic parameters of A. gossypii have not been fully studied. The age-stage, two-sex life table analysis was conducted to investigate...

Abstract: Organic and conventional farms often coexist, yet their proximity does not ensure compatibility. Larsen et al. reveal that being surrounded by organic fields reduces pesticide usage in organic fields but increases it in conventional fields.

## EU Commission spreads unscientific information about pesticide reduction

According to a recent EU communication, the use and risk of chemical pesticides decreased by 46% compared to 2015-2017. Miraculous, for it contradicts Eurostat's pesticide sales data which show no clear decrease in pesticide use. It does not match the fact that sales of PFAS pesticides have tripled for example in France in the last 13 years. It does not match the 66% increase in the use of the most environmentally toxic pesticides in The Netherlands. It does not match the increase in sales of dan...

## EPA Announces Changes to When It Assesses Potential Exposure to Pesticide Spray Drift

On July 15, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it is updating its process when it assesses the potential for exposure to pesticide drift when it reviews new active ingredient pesticide registrations or makes decisions on new use directions for existing pesticide registrations. EPA states it will review potential exposure to drift earlier in the review process

## PFAS pesticides cause havoc in the UK

PAN Europe recently revealed that PFAS pesticides residues are found in many fruits and vegetables. We also showed that one of their breakdown products TFA – a small and very soluble and mobile PFAS – is omnipresent in surface, ground and drinking water all over Europe. Our colleagues from PAN UK and FIDRA [The Scottish organisation] now show that the UK is facing the same pollution problem. These forever chemicals are deliberately sprayed on food and fields and their use is increasing. [...]

## Pesticides : les volumes de vente ne baissent pas, la dangerosité oui

« Au cours des dix dernières années, la quantité totale de substances actives vendues en France est restée globalement stable autour de 70 000 tonnes (t), avec des fluctuations annuelles marquées, liées aux effets climatiques et aux comportements de stockage », indique une note (1) du ministère de la Transition écologique, publiée le 9 juillet, basée sur les déclarations de vente des distributeurs de produits phytopharmaceutiques. Ainsi, malgré la succession de plans Ecophyto, en 2022, les ventes...

## EU-Wide Drinking Water Testing Finds Forever Chemical TFA in 94 % of Samples: Only a Rapid Ban on PFAS Pesticides and F-Gases Can Save Our Water | PAN Europe

Alarmed by the high levels of contamination with the forever chemical TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) in European water bodies, the Pesticide Action Network (PAN Europe) analysed 55 drinking water samples (tap water and mineral water) from 11 EU countries. TFA mainly enters water as a degradation product of PFAS pesticides and F-gases. The results are summarised in the report TFA: The Forever Chemical in the Water We Drink. Key analysis results TFA was detected in 34 out of 36 European tap water sampl...

## Neonicotinoid Insecticides Contribute to Honey Bee Vulnerability to Parasitic Varroa Mites

An article last month in Entomology Today, a publication of the Entomological Society of America, highlights the important findings of a study published earlier this year in the Journal of Insect Science. While there has been debate on whether neonicotinoid (neonic) insecticides or Varroa mites (Varroa destructor) are more detrimental to the survival of bees, evidence suggests that neonicotinoids are not only harmful individually but can increase vulnerability to parasitism from mites in western ...

## EU Commission proposing to continue the use of dangerous pesticides captan and 8-hydroxyquinoline

This week the EU committee on pesticides SCOPAFF will discuss and vote on the renewal of two very toxic pesticides. Both proposals contradict EFSA's scientific conclusions. Captan is one of the most used fungicides in Europe. It is suspected to be both carcinogenic and toxic to reproduction and pollutes the drinking water.
[...] The use was supposed to be limited to closed greenhouses. But Austria has made a strong plea to keep using it in open fields. This proposal is now taken over by the EU Co...
