The glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood) is a polyphagous arthropod pest that is of particular detriment to glasshouse grown tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) across temperate regions of the world. Control of whiteflies with synthetic pesticides has resulted in the evolution of resistant genotypes and a reduction in natural enemies,...

Exposure to airborne allergens from mice and rats can lead to laboratory animal asthma or allergy. Several biological methods can measure allergens contained in aerosols; however, they are time and cost intensive. An innovative methodology is proposed to warn laboratory animal facility workers of a possible rise in mouse and rat allergens by measur...

Concentrations of tropospheric ozone have more than doubled in the Northern Hemisphere since pre-industrial times. Plant responses to single abiotic or biotic stresses, such as ozone exposure and herbivore-feeding, have received substantial attention, especially for cultivated plants. Modern cultivated plants have been subjected to selective breedi...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are beneficial obligate symbionts of plant roots. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) participate in plant communication and defence. The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Funneliformis mosseae IMA1 on VOCs in Vitis vinifera cv. Sangiovese leaf tissue. Grapevine plants...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the major pollutants present in the petrochemical industrial effluents. These VOCs have high vapor pressure, which makes it to be dispersed into the atmosphere easily. Chlorobenzene is one such VOC, which has an ability to cause adverse impacts on human health by damaging the central nervous systems. The...

The analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is an important issue in various domains. For this, electronic noses (eN) are very promising as novel analytical tools that are portable, inexpensive, and efficient for reliable and rapid analyses. Recently, we have demonstrated that surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) is especially interesting...

Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer, 1778), commonly named poultry red mite (PRM), is considered as the most harmful ectoparasite in poultry farms in Europe. This species feeds from blood of laying hens but spend most of its time hidden in cracks and crevices around hen’s nests. To control PRM populations in poultry houses, chemical pesticides are curren...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial microorganisms that may associate with grapevine roots, improving stress tolerance, growth, and nutrition. AM fungi and PGPR enhance the production of plant secondary metabolites, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that play a key role in the i...

A vast majority of the organic solvents used in industry and laboratories are volatile, hazardous and toxic organic compounds, they are considered as a potent problem for human health and a cause of environmental pollution. Although analytical laboratory methods can determine extremely low solvent concentration, the sensing method with low cost and...

In the present study, novel styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) membranes were prepared by the addition of graphene (Gr) nanosheets to the casting solution and were utilized in the pervaporative separation of a dilute solution of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (1,2,4-TMB) as a volatile organic compound (VOC) in water. Several characterizations such as field em...
