Reduction of some insecticide residues from grapes with washing treatments

The Effect of Washing and Peeling on Reduction of Dithiocarbamates Residues in Cucumber and Tomato

Background: Dithiocarbamates, the main group of fungicides, are used to control about 400 pathogens in more than 70 crops. These pesticides are widely applied to crops including potato, cereal, apple, pear and leafy vegetables throughout the world since 1960. From the late 1980s, using these fungicides has caused much debate among regulators about their long-term effects on consumers and occupa...

-49- Summary of ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICITY OF SOME INSECTICIDE RESIDUES

Treatments of Çan Lignite with Some Mineral Acids after Sodyum Hydroxide Washing

The fossil properties can be increased via enrichment process. It is the process that removes sulfur and mineral matter without changing the organic structure. In this study, Çan lignite was demineralized with some mineral free acid of 5% such as HCOOH and some mineral acids of 5% such as HNO3, H2SO4, HCl, H3PO4 and HF after 5% NaOH washing. The best sulfur and mineral matter performed were obt...

Identification of insecticide residues with a conducting-polymer electronic nose

Current methods for the detection and identification of pesticide residues on agricultural and landscape plants require time-consuming and expensive chemical analyses [14]. This problem causes delays for agricultural land managers in making important crop-management and pest-control decisions involving pesticide applications. The presence of pesticide residues on food crops also is a major heal...
