A multiresidue method was developed for the determination of 12 organophosphorus insecticides (diazinon, parathion methyl, fenitrothion, pirimiphosmethyl, malathion, fenthion, chlorpyrifos, quinalphos, methidathion, ethion, azinphosmethyl, coumaphos), one carbamate (pirimicarb), and one amidine (amitraz) in unifloral and multifloral honeys. The analytical procedure was based on the matrix solid...

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of the saturating cation on the adsorption of parathion, methyl parathion, fenitrothion, aminoparathion, and paraoxon by montmorillonite suspensions. In all cases the saturating cation distinctly influenced the Freundlich-type adsorption, with adsorption decreasing in the following sequence: Fe—> Ca— > Na-montmorillonite. Adsorption of parat...

We previously showed that 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (4-nitro-m-cresol, PNMC), a component of diesel exhaust particles and a degradation product of the insecticide fenitrothion, has reproductive toxicity in adult male and immature female Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Here we investigated effects of PNMC on the reproductive toxicity of mature female Japanese quail. The experiment consists of 3...

Background: Pesticide use for fruits and vegetable production in Uganda may result presence of residues on produce which pose health risks to consumers. This research aimed at conducting a risk assessment pesticide vegetables Kampala Metropolitan Area, Uganda. Method: Pesticides were measured 160 samples analysed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Fruit consumption informatio...
