Determination of organophosphorus pesticides in baby food

Abstract

Measurements of organophosphorus pesticides residues were conducted on four different baby food puree based on vegetable, fruit, white fish and veal, products based on cereals and biscuits packed in cardboard box using gas chromatography with thermoionic specified detector (GC-TSD). The lowest concentration of organophosphorus compounds was found for sulfotep, 0.00006 mg/kg in biscuits, while the highest concentrations were found for diazinon and fenchlorphos, with values of 0.1096 mg/kg and 0.1903 mg/kg, both in the grain samples.

Estimation of heavy metals in medicinal plants and their infusions

“…Our analytical results were close to the ones of other Romanian researchers, especially regarding the presence of Fe and Mn into medicinal plants: Matricaria camomilla L and Urtica dioica L [13].…”

Isolation and Identification of bacteria from the agricultural soil samples to tolerate pesticides dimethoate, thiamethoxam and Imidacloprid

“…Under such conditions, it will create a severe health risk to the public. In these countries, monitoring foodstuff quality should be followed (Dobrinas et al 2011, Bempah et al 2012, Jardim and Caldas 2012. Pesticides that accumulate in higher soil concentrations mainly involve organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides (Yang et al 2009, Wang et al 2007, Ghadiri et al 1995, Aiyesanmi and Idowu G 2012.…”
