Wildlife Toxicity Assessment for Ethylene

A water soluble fluorescent probe for selective and sensitive detection of picric acid – a nitroexplosive

“…3,4 Other applications of PA include in dye synthesis, rocket fuel, fireworks, colored glass, etc., and its release in the environment causes contamination in the air, water and soil. 5 In humans, PA exposure can lead to respiratory problems, liver damage, headaches, abnormal production of methemoglobin, skin diseases, etc. 6 Their explosive and harmful nature means the summit is sensitive and selective detection techniques.…”

CF3 H-bonding locked aromatic stacking of picric acid with mechanofluorochromic fluorophores: highly selective reusable sensor and rewritable fluorescence platform

“…The fabrication of a selective and sensitive fluorescent sensor for picric acid (PA) has received considerable attention recently, owing to its widespread usage in lethal weapons, fireworks, dyes and ointments. 43–50 Exposure to PA in skin, liver, kidneys and the respiratory system in humans and animals causes detrimental effects. 51–54 The high acidity and water solubility of PA increases the risk of water and soil contamination.…”
