The process of pesticide (γ-HCH and inactive isomers αand β-HCH, DDT, DMDT, fenitrothion and chlorfenvinphos) removal from industrial wastewater using Fenton's reaction has been analysed. Most of the pesticides were completely degraded at H2O2 concentration of 2.5 g/dm; however, only at 5 g/dm were all the examined pesticides completely removed and the results repeatable. The most effective pro...

An anhydrous 1:1 crystalline inclusion complex between the organophosphorus insecticide fenitrothion [O,O-dimethyl O-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)phosphorothioate] and the host compound heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DIMEB) was prepared and its structure elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This revealed two independent host molecules in the asymmetric unit. In one of these, th...

Hormozgan Province is located in the south of Iran bordering the Persian Gulf. In this area, malaria is still considered a major health problem. In the province, eleven species of Anopheles were identified: An. pulcherrimus, An. sergenti, An. apoci, An. multicolor, An. subpictus, An. turkhudi, An. fluviatilis, An. stephensi, An. d'thali, An. superpictus, and An. culicifacies, among which only t...

In French Guiana, pyrethroids and organophosphates have been used for many years against Aedes aegypti. We aimed to establish both the resistance level of Ae. aegypti and the ultra low volume spray efficacy to provide mosquito control services with practical information to implement vector control and resistance management. Resistance to deltamethrin and fenitrothion was observed. In addition, ...

Various organophosphorus compounds, particularly those with low acute toxicity levels, such as Fenitrothion (common name; Sumithion), Fenthion (common name; Baycid) and Pyridaphenthion (common name; Ofunack), are widely used as insecticides around the world. PAM (2-Pyridinum aldoxime methiodide), the specific antidote against Parathion, is not very effective against poisoning by these organopho...

This research aimed to assess the toxicity of the pesticides abamectin 18 CE (0.02 g a.i. L-1), carbaryl 480 SC (1.73 g a.i. L-1), sulfur 800 GrDA (4.8 g a.i. L-1), fenitrothion 500 CE (0.75 g a.i. L-1), methidathion 400 CE (0.4 g a.i. L-1), and trichlorfon 500 SC (1.5 g a.i. L-1) as applied in integrated apple production in Brazil on the survival, oviposition capacity, and egg viability of the...

Since the reintroduction of Aedes aegypti in the state of S o Paulo, in the middle of the 1980-decade, organophosphate insecticides are being used to control the dengue vector. In 1996, an annual program for monitoring the susceptibility of Ae. aegypti to the insecticides was implemented. Some of the results of this monitoring program are presented. Ae. aegypti populations from ten localities h...

Fenitrothion: An organophosphorus insecticide, fenitrothion (O,O-dimethyl O-4-nitro-m-tolyl phosphorothioate; CAS No. 122-14-5), which is a yellow-brown liquid with an unpleasant odor at room temperature, was introduced in 1959 by both Sumitomo Chemical Company and Bayer Leverkusen, and later by American Cyanamid Company (Hayes, 1982; Hayes and Laws, 1990; Worthing and Walker, 1987). Organophos...
