Comprehensive analysis of ionomic profiling in Chlorella exposed to chlorpyrifos by Qing-Qing Yu, Yulong Zhang, Shiyuan Zhao, Min Pang, Pei Jiang, Pei Qu

“…However, little is known about the toxicological mechanism of CPF on marine microalgae, which is the main primary producer in the marine ecosystem.MethodsThis study explored the ion changes of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris under the stress of CPF through Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).ResultsSignificant disparities in ionomics among control and treatment group were observed through pattern recognition analysis (principal component analysis, PCA; orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, OPLS-DA), indicating that CPF may impede their growth by disrupting the homeostasis of crucial elements within algal cells.DiscussionThis study elucidated the inhibitory impact of CPF on green algae growth and its potential mechanism of toxicity through ICP-MS, providing crucial insights for a comprehensive understanding of the influence of organophosphorus pesticides on aquatic ecosystems.…”

Apports de l’ergotoxicologie à l’évaluation de l’efficacité réelle des EPI devant protéger du risque phytosanitaire : de l’analyse de la contamination au processus collectif d’aler... by Alain Garrigou, Isabelle Baldi, Philippe Dubuc

“…The arguments presented in the paper are based on the Pestexpo study conducted by Isabelle Baldi (Baldi et al. (2002) and Baldi et al. (2006)), which involved analyzing the exposure of vineyard workers to plant protection products by using an ergo-toxicologic approach. The point is to identify different types of exposure by taking into account the characteristics of the actual work (as opposed to what the operators are supposed to be doing) as an outcome of personal, technical and organizational determinants. …”
