Analysis of Phorate and Malathion in Blood Samples by Gas Chromatography
نویسنده
چکیده
An innovative method is given for the estimation of certain organophosphorus insecticides in the serum of occupational persons. The compounds are extracted with a mixture of acetone and diethyl ether (1:1 v/v) in acidic medium and the extraction residue is analyzed by gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection method. The method for percentage recovery for the six different organophosphorus insecticides was 84.3% for phorate, 76.3% for dimethoate, 81.3% for Malathion. Blood Serum samples of nine workers had taken and with some organophosphorus insecticide, specifically Malathion was found.

Rapid method for the determination of some organophosphorus insecticides in a small amount of serum in emergency and occupational toxicology cases
A simple and rapid method is described for the estimation of some organophosphorus insecticides in the serum of occupationally exposed persons. The compounds are extracted with a mixture of acetone and diethyl ether (1:1 v/v) in acidic medium and the extraction residue is analyzed by gas chromatography with nitrogen phosphorus detection method. Linearity was acceptable over concentrations from ...
متن کاملSupercritical fluid extraction of pesticides from meat: a systematic approach for optimisation.
A method for quantification of pesticide residues in meat and fatty matrices was developed using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). The SFE method allows selective extraction of residues and subsequent gas chromatography analysis without further clean-up. Quantification was done by GC using nitrogen-phosphorus detection and electron capture detection. Initial method development was made usin...
متن کاملBiomonitoring of Toxic Effects of Pesticides in Occupationally Exposed Individuals
BACKGROUND Workers in pesticide manufacturing industries are constantly exposed to pesticides. Genetic biomonitoring provides an early identification of potential cancer and genetic diseases in exposed populations. The objectives of this biomonitoring study were to assess DNA damage through comet assay in blood samples collected from industry workers and compare these results with those of clas...
متن کاملBiodegradation of malathion by serratia marcescens isolated from Arvandkenar region, Iran
The global use of pesticides has resulted in the contamination of various ecosystems worldwide. The impact of these pesticides can be reduced through bioremediation. The factors that influence the biodegradation rate include the isolation of efficient bacteria for use in remediation and the determination of optimal biodegradation conditions. In this study, malathion degrading bacteria were isol...
متن کاملDetermination of concentration of organophosphate pesticides
Pesticides are used extensively in agricultural lands in Northern provinces of Iran which makes river ecosystems more vulnerable to pesticides pollution. This study was conducted in three river estuaries (Babolrud, Tajanrud and Gorganrud), focusing mainly on the concentration levels of organophosphate pesticides (diazinon, malathion, azinphos-methyl) in the muscle tissue of golden mullet fish, ...
