Abstract
Excessive use of pesticides and heavy metals can pose serious risks to human health and ecological balance. These pollutants persist in soil and water and bioaccumulate in organisms, leading to metabolic disruption and environmental damage. In this situation, simple, quick and inexpensive sensing platforms are essentially required to assay both pesticide residues and metal ions in environmental samples at the same time. This work represents the development of a dual-responsive colorimetric sensing probe for the detection of thiram using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) modified with 2-mercapto-nicotinic acid (2-MNA) (AgNPs@2-MNA) and further AgNPs@2-MNA-thriam nanoaggregates were used for parallel detection Fe3+ and Cu2+ ion, respectively. The characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of AgNPs@2-MNA was remarkably shifted upon the addition of thiram, thereby forming AgNPs@2-MNA-thiram nanoaggregates, which was further used for the detection of Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions via complex-assisted sensing mechanism. The assay came out with good linear ranges and the lower limits of detection as calculated for thiram, Fe3+ and Cu2+ are 0.474, 0.411 and 0.487 µM, respectively. This colorimetric assay was successfully validated for the detection of thiram and two metal ions (Fe3+ and Cu2+) in real environmental samples, highlighting its potential for field-deployable environmental monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Nanotechnology, Monitoring and Management is a journal devoted to the publication of peer reviewed original research on environmental nanotechnologies, monitoring studies and management for water, soil , waste and human health samples. Critical review articles, short communications and scientific policy briefs are also welcome. The journal will include all environmental matrices except air. Nanomaterials were suggested as efficient cost-effective and environmental friendly alternative to existing treatment materials, from the standpoints of both resource conservation and environmental remediation. The journal aims to receive papers in the field of nanotechnology covering; Developments of new nanosorbents for: •Groundwater, drinking water and wastewater treatment •Remediation of contaminated sites •Assessment of novel nanotechnologies including sustainability and life cycle implications Monitoring and Management papers should cover the fields of: •Novel analytical methods applied to environmental and health samples •Fate and transport of pollutants in the environment •Case studies covering environmental monitoring and public health •Water and soil prevention and legislation •Industrial and hazardous waste- legislation, characterisation, management practices, minimization, treatment and disposal •Environmental management and remediation
