Degradation of chlorpyrifos, an organophosphorus insecticide in aqueous solution with gamma irradiation and natural sunlight

Residue Analysis of Organochlorine and Organophosphorus Pesticides in Urban Lake Sediments

“…Despite the rapid degradation (Troeh & Thompson, 2007), OP pesticides have been frequently found in different studies (Hossain et al, 2013;Masiá et al, 2013;Abraham et al, 2014;Ccanccapa et al, 2016). In a study conducted by Cristale et al (2013) with river sediments subject to different anthropogenic pressures, OP pesticides were omnipresent.…”

Determination of Carbendazim and Chlorpyrifos in Selected Fruits and Vegetables Samples Using QuEChERS-HPLC-FD

“…Pesticides constitute a very important group of chemical compounds that have to be controlled for their high toxicity and their widespread use in agricultural practice in field and post-harvest protection [2,[3][4][5]. Although the use of pesticides provides unquestionable benefits in providing a plentiful, low cost supply of high quality fruits and vegetables, their incorrect application may leave harmful residues, which involve possible health risk [3,6].…”

“…Chlorpyrifos, has been widely employed in agriculture to kill pests which has a wide environmental endocrine disruptor and its residual mainly exists in crops, livestock, poultry products and also led to their migration into aquifers which is potentially hazardous to health [1,2,5,8,15]. Unfortunately, Chlorpyrifos with a thiophosphoryl (P=S) functional group is important causes of morbidity and mortality following intentional self-poisoning or in cases of occupational or environmental exposure [1,5,16,17].…”

“…Unfortunately, Chlorpyrifos with a thiophosphoryl (P=S) functional group is important causes of morbidity and mortality following intentional self-poisoning or in cases of occupational or environmental exposure [1,5,16,17]. The American Department of Pesticide Regulation (ADPR) gave chlorpyrifos a high priority for risk assessment for its acute toxicity [18].…”

“…The American Department of Pesticide Regulation (ADPR) gave chlorpyrifos a high priority for risk assessment for its acute toxicity [18]. Recently studies have found that carbendazim cause infertility and destroy the testicles of human males [19,20], and Chlorpyrifos cause lung cancer [15,21,22] and acts by interfering with cholinesterase, an enzyme that is essential for the proper working of the nervous system of both humans and insects [1,5,15,17,18,23]. Effects of carbendazim and chlorpyrifos were seen in liver, thyroid, thymus and blood in the combination groups [23].…”
