Abstract
Exposure to pesticides is one of the main drivers of global bee decline. However, the occurrence of pesticides in bee-attracting crops remains underexposed due to the lack of efficient on-site screening approaches for multi-analyte monitoring. Utilizing color-encoded superparamagnetic microspheres, we constructed a portable 8-plex indirect competitive microsphere-based immunoassay for the simultaneous determination of multiple bee-hazardous residues (Bee-Plex). Through a single measurement within 40 min, Bee-Plex exhibited high sensitivities with IC50values of 0.04, 0.08, 0.14, 0.15, 0.78, 0.86, 7.72, and 8.79 ng/mL for imidacloprid, parathion, fipronil, emamectin, carbofuran, chlorpyrifos, fenpropathrin and carbaryl, respectively. Moreover, the implementation of multiple broad-specific antibodies enables a wide-range screening profile for 30 pesticides and pesticide metabolites, detecting 6 neonicotinoids, 6 N-methyl carbamates 6 organophosphates, 5 avermectins, 5 pyrethroids and 2 phenylpyrazoles. The combination of Bee-Plex screening (93% accuracy) and LC-MS/MS confirmatory analysis revealed contaminations of neonicotinoids (100%) and avermectins (70%) in roses, with occurrence frequencies of 79%, 79%, 21%, 21%, 7%, and 7% for imidacloprid, acetamiprid, clothianidin, thiacloprid, imidaclothiz, and nitenpyram, respectively. Above all, this study offers a powerful analytical tool for rapid screening of multiple bee-hazardous pesticides, offering new insights in the occurrence of multi-pesticide contamination in ornamental plants.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
