Abstract
"Although pesticides are widely used in agriculture, they and in particular the relative residues in foodstuffs, water and. atmosphere, may cause remarkable sanitary problems due to the harmful effects (carcinogenic and mutagenic effects) on. the human health. In fact, their spread in waters and atmosphere can produce undesired effects on various organisms. and\/or water contamination.. This paper shows an analytical approach based on XAD-2 adsorbent and GC analysis for evaluating the pesticide trend. in atmosphere: in particular, the pesticides investigated are omethoate, dicrotofos, disulfoton, dimethoate, parathion methyl,. formothion, paraoxon ethyl, malaoxon, parathion ethyl, iodofenfos and triazofos. For the analytical methodology a. linearity response was obtained (r2 = 0.9988) in GC-NPD whereas the limits of detection range between 2 and 5 pg\/μL in. GC-NPD with a Relative Standard Deviation below 9.5. Finally, this approach has been successfully applied to real. samples: the results show that dimethoate concentration decreases with increasing distance from the sampling site but it is. still persistent in atmosphere after few days from the pesticide spraying"I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
