Abstract
Imidacloprid, a key neonicotinoid insecticide for pest control, is widely used in various crops, including peanuts. This study aimed to fill research gaps by analysing the residue behaviour of imidacloprid in peanut fields treated with flowable concentrate for seed treatment (FS) formulations while assessing potential risks to human health and ecosystems. A validated analytical method, using QuEChERS separation and UPLC-MS/MS detection, reliably quantified imidacloprid residues in peanuts and soil. Imidacloprid degradation followed a first-order kinetic model, with half-lives ranging from 21.0 to 46.2 days in plants and 10.3-30.1 days in soil. Residues in peanut kernels were below 0.05 mg/kg, and the maximum soil residue was 0.370 mg/kg. Dietary risk assessment indicated no health risks to adult consumers. However, ecological risk assessment predicted low to moderate earthworm toxicity and a medium risk from ecotoxicity exposure. These findings highlight the importance of adhering to recommended imidacloprid FS seed treatment dosages to minimise adverse effects on non-target soil organisms.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Geochemistry and Health publishes original research papers and review papers across the broad field of environmental geochemistry. Environmental geochemistry and health establishes and explains links between the natural or disturbed chemical composition of the earth’s surface and the health of plants, animals and people.
Beneficial elements regulate or promote enzymatic and hormonal activity whereas other elements may be toxic. Bedrock geochemistry controls the composition of soil and hence that of water and vegetation. Environmental issues, such as pollution, arising from the extraction and use of mineral resources, are discussed. The effects of contaminants introduced into the earth’s geochemical systems are examined. Geochemical surveys of soil, water and plants show how major and trace elements are distributed geographically. Associated epidemiological studies reveal the possibility of causal links between the natural or disturbed geochemical environment and disease. Experimental research illuminates the nature or consequences of natural or disturbed geochemical processes.
The journal particularly welcomes novel research linking environmental geochemistry and health issues on such topics as: heavy metals (including mercury), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and mixed chemicals emitted through human activities, such as uncontrolled recycling of electronic-waste; waste recycling; surface-atmospheric interaction processes (natural and anthropogenic emissions, vertical transport, deposition, and physical-chemical interaction) of gases and aerosols; phytoremediation/restoration of contaminated sites; food contamination and safety; environmental effects of medicines; effects and toxicity of mixed pollutants; speciation of heavy metals/metalloids; effects of mining; disturbed geochemistry from human behavior, natural or man-made hazards; particle and nanoparticle toxicology; risk and the vulnerability of populations, etc.
