methoxy polyethylene glycol modified magnetite nanoparticles (pegmns) were synthesized and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm), and x-ray diffraction (xrd) . the adsorption of diazinon onto (pegmns) was investigated by uv spectrophotometry at 236 nm, through batch experiments. the effects of adsorbent dosage, solution ph, contact time, s...

diazinon is one of the highly consumed organophosphorous pesticides. it inhibits cholinesterase enzyme in animal tissues. due to permanent residence in agricultural drainage channels, the swan mussel (anodonta cygnea) can be considered as one of the most suitable indicators of such pollutants. at the present study, acethyle cholinesterase activity of a. cygnea was measured when exposed to vario...

in present study, it was determinated lc50 96-h and toxicity degree of diazinon in huso huso, then were evaluated effects of sub-lethal concentrations on tow general enzymatic indices including alanine and aspartate aminotransferase of plasma and one specific enzymatic index including tissue ache enzyme. the median lethal concentration, lowest observed effect concentration and maximum allowable...

Pollution of Lake Bosomtwe is a major concern in Ghana due to its derived socio-economic benefits such as employment, ecotourism and protein source the people basin. Besides these benefits, lake water used for domestic purposes has since served drinking people. However, use agrochemicals within basin intensified last decade. The problems associated with fertilizer pesticide seem carry it higher...

The aim of this study was to investigate the seasonal and spatial variations in concentrations a widely used organophosphorous pesticide (OPP), diazinon, associated risk posed by OPP surface water from three largest rivers located northern province Iran: Haraz, Talar Babolrood rivers. These are agriculture Mazandaran, exposed high doses organophosphorus pesticides, especially diazinon. concentr...

Two multiresidue methods were developed to determine pesticides in air collected in California. Pesticides were trapped using XAD-4 resin and extracted with ethyl acetate. Based on an analytical method from the University of California Davis Trace Analytical Laboratory, pesticides were detected by analyzing the extract by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine chlorothalonil,...

background: since organophosphorus pesticides are widely used for industry and insect control in agricultural crops, their fate in the environment is very important. pesticide contamination of surface water has been recog­nized as a major contaminant in world because of their potential toxicity towards human and animals. the objec­tive of this research was to investigate the influence of variou...
