Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are used in crops to eradicate pests, but are of concern to the public, attributable to their potential toxicity to human health. In the present study, a biodegradable composite film containing citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed to detect pe...
