Biological Visual Detection for Advanced Photocatalytic Oxidation toward Pesticide Detoxification.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalytic oxidation treatment is an emerging and fast developed eco-friendly, energy-saving, and efficient advanced oxidation technology for degrading hazardous pesticides. The conventional chemical detection to evaluate the effects for this process depends on the broken chemical structure, only giving residual content and product chemical composition. However, it misses direct visual detection on the toxicity and the quantitative analysis of pesticide detoxification. Here, we develop a novel strategy to combine photocatalytic oxidation with a zebrafish biological model to provide a direct visual detection on the environmental detoxification. The mortality or deformity of zebrafish embryos (ZEs) acts as an indicator. Over the irradiation duration threshold, the mortality of ZEs decrea
