Dissipation kinetics of tetraconazole in three types of soil and water under laboratory condition.

Laboratory experiment was conducted to understand the persistence behavior of tetraconazole in three soils of West Bengal (alluvial, red lateritic, and coastal saline) and also in water maintained at three different pH (4.0, 7.0, and 9.

Occurrence of heavy metals in fish: a study for impact assessment in industry prone aquatic environment around Kolkata in India.

A study was conducted during November 2005-October 2006 for determining the heavy metal contamination in surface water and sediments and giving prime thrust to determine the heavy metal concentrations fish samples collected from various points of the river Ganga at different time interval. Fish samples (viz., Channa marulius and Aorichthys seengala) were analyzed for heavy metals using standard laboratory procedures by AAS method.

Risk assessment and chemical decontamination of an oxime carbamate insecticide (methomyl) from eggplant, Solanum melongena L.

Methomyl, S-methyl (EZ)-N-(methylcarbamoyloxy)thioacetimidate, is a systemic insecticide chosen for the management of shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis G. Codex Alimentarious Commission has proposed a maximum residue limit (MRL) of 0.2 mg kg( - 1) of methomyl, and there is a need to validate this value on eggplant.

Impact assessment and decontamination of pesticides from meat under different culinary processes.

A total of 75 animals between 1.5 and 8 years old were randomly selected for the study. Of these, 57.

Risk assessment and decontamination of Quinalphos under different culinary processes in/on cabbage.

Quinalphos 20 AF was applied at the rate of 500 and 1,000 g a.i. ha(-1) in cabbage for two consecutive seasons and the samples harvested at intervals of 0 (3 h after application), 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days interval after application.

Vertical migration of some herbicides through undisturbed and homogenized soil columns.

A laboratory experiment was conducted by using three herbicides, two from dinitroaniline group and one from thiocarbamate group to know their degree of downward movement (leachability) through soil columns and their contribution in ground water contamination. Soil columns were loaded with Pendimethalin, Benthiocarb and Oryzalin at doses of 10.0, 10.

Degradation dynamics and dissipation kinetics of an imidazole fungicide (Prochloraz) in aqueous medium of varying pH.

Laboratory degradation studies were performed in water at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.

Degradation dynamics and persistence of Quinolphos and Methomyl in/on Okra (Ablemoschus esculentus) fruits and cropped soil.

Dissipation of Quinalphos (Ekalux 20 AF) and Methomyl (Lannate 12.5 L) residues were studied in/on Okra (var. Pusa Sawani) fruits and cropped soil at Baruipur, West Bengal, India.
