Detection of Chlorpyrifos in Food
The extensive application of Organophosphorus (OP) pesticides has caused serious environmental and ecosystem pollution, leaving toxic residues in organisms, water, and soil. OP residues from water can easily enter the food chain, which can result in poisoning. Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate pesticide. EPA estimated that over 75% of the U.S. population has traces of chlorpyrifos in their bodies. Chlorpyrifos exposure may lead to acute toxicity or persistent health effects, and infants and children are more susceptible than adults to low dose exposure, resulting in neurodevelopmental disorder and brain damage.
Creative Diagnostics has developed an ELISA Kit to rapidly detect chlorpyrifos residues in various food samples, including fruits, vegetables, and grains.
