Biomimetic Chromatography as a High-Throughput Tool for Screening Bioaccumulation and Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Pesticides.

Summary: Testing pesticides to see if they are safe for water and fish usually takes a lot of time and requires animal testing. Scientists are looking for a better way. They tested a new lab tool that mimics how chemicals stick to cells. This tool, called biomimetic chromatography, might help us quickly find out if a pesticide is toxic to sea life without needing to use real animals. It is a faster, animal-friendly way to keep our water safe!
