The photolytic degradations of imidacloprid, carbofuran, diazinon, chlorpyrifos, pyridaben, propoxur, and esfenvalerate were independently compared in both moist (75% field moisture capacity at 0.33 bar) and air-dry microbially viable soils at 5 microg/g. All compounds were applied to sandy soil except for propoxur, which was applied to sandy loam soil. Diazinon was applied to both sandy soil a...

Background: Increasing use of pesticides is one of the health hazards. Physical activity and medicinal plants appear to be a strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of these substances. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training and berberine chloride on apoptosis and oxidative stress markers in the heart tissue of diazinon-infected rats. Methods:...

background: pesticides are one of the important sources of environmental pollution that influence human health. the aim of current study was to determine diazinon and benomyl residues levels in mushrooms grown in greenhouses. methods: mushroom samples were obtained from 10 active greenhouses of hamadan province, iran, every 14 days from may 2014. the absorbance of diazinon and benomyl were meas...

Most of animal feeds are grown using pesticides. Chemical control of weeds, insects and other pests has increased agricultural productivity. However, these economic benefits are not without risks to animal health and environmental damage. Feed and fodder offered to animals are often contaminated with pesticide residues (Raikwar and Nag, 2003) and after feeding, these residues assimilated into t...

Lusková V. , M. Svoboda, J . Koláfiová: The Effect of Diazinon on Blood Plasma Biochemistry in Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Acta Vet. Brno 2002, 71: 117-123. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diazinon [0,0-diethyl-0-(2-isopropyl-6methylpyrimidin-4yl) phosphorothioate] on common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). The effect was assessed by comparing the biochemical blood plasma profiles ...

The study was conducted at Bojdi Dirmaji District, Wollega Zone (Western Ethiopia) using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Eight different treatments of chemical, botanical and cultural control methods independently and in combinations were evaluated to identify the most effective method which is environmentally sustainable and economically feasible in controlling the te...

During a research project to improve the performance and operation of shower dips, a series of measurements of the diazinon based dip-wash concentrations were taken. These measurements, although not replicated, indicated that the concentrations were falling to levels which were considered to be too low. As a result a replicated trial was conducted on the same shower dip, modified as per the fin...

A semiconductor composite photocatalyst, TiO2-ZnO, was synthesized by precipitating ZnO on the surface of commercial TiO2 (aeroxide P25), and used for the photodegradation of diazinon in a 12 W UVC batch photoreactor. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation revealed a plausible hybridization of TiO2 and ZnO in the composite. Ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy confirmed a red shi...

An interlaboratory study was conducted to compare pesticide recovery from Empore C(18) and Speedisks C(18)XF solid phase extraction disks after shipping. Four pesticides were used for the comparison of the two disk extraction materials: atrazine, diazinon, metolachlor, and tebuconazole. These pesticides were chosen to provide a range of physiochemical properties. Water samples were extracted on...
