“…These results were consistent with those of the batch tests, where Freundlich's K F was significantly correlated with soil organic matter and clay (Table 4). Other authors previously found the contents in clay and organic matter to play a key role in carbofuran retention by soils [10,30,37,38]. However, K F was more markedly influenced by organic matter than by clay (Table 4).…”

“…Calderbank [6] reported that physical and chemical characteristics of the soil influence the rate of adsorption and leaching of carbofuran. The adsorption characteristics of carbamates in different soils were studied by Lalah and Wandiga [7]. They have reported that organic matter and clay content influenced the adsorption/desorption process significantly.…”

“…Carbofuran is highly toxic to animals and humans both by oral and inhalation routes and therefore, may pose a serious threat to those in contact with it in manufacturing and formulation plants or in crop fields (Gupta 1994;Lalah and Wandiga 1996). Due to its acute toxicity, the fate of its residue in terms of persistence and mobility is of great concern.…”

The downward movement of carbofuran in two Malaysian soil types was studied using soil columns. The columns were filled with disturbed and undisturbed soils of either the Bagan Datoh soil (clay) or the Labu soil (sandy clay). The average total percentage of carbofuran in the leachate of the undisturbed Labu soil after 14 days of watering (80.8%) was approximately similar to that of the total amount from the disturbed soil (81.4%). However, carbofuran leaching was observed in the disturbed soil after the fourth day of watering whereas for the undisturbed soil, leaching occurred after the first watering. A similar trend was observed in the Bagan Datoh soil where the residue of carbofuran was detected after the first day of watering in the undisturbed soil column but only at the eighth day of watering in the disturbed soil column. The total percentage carbofuran in the leachate of disturbed and undisturbed soil columns from Bagan Datoh after 14 days of watering was 3.6% and 41.7%, respectively. The study showed that less leaching occurred in soil columns with high organic content such as the Bagan Datoh soil and especially so in disturbed soils where the organic matter was homogeneously mixed in all layers.
