An electron-capture gas-liquid chromatographic method was developed for measuring 3-hydroxy-guanfacine, the main metabolite of guanfacine in human plasma and urine. After extraction, the metabolite was derivatized by condensing the amidino group with hexafluoroacetylacetone and by methylating the NH and OH groups with methyl iodide. The obtained derivative possessed good bioanalytical gas chromatographic properties, using a capillary column. The O-glucuronide was measured after enzymatic hydrolysis. Unchanged guanfacine could be determined in urine together with its 3-hydroxy metabolite by this method.

Department of Public Health and Healthcare Organization, Yerevan State Medical University named after M. Heratsi, Yerevan, Republic of Armenia.
The study objective was to determine a possible association between maternal exposure to organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and anthropometric measures at birth in group of postpartum women in urban and rural areas of Armenia. The anthropometric measures of infants were obtained from birth records and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane were measured in breast milk. Gas-liquid chromatography with electron capture detection was used to identify OCPs.

Background: The presence of agricultural pesticide residue can cause adverse health effects.The main objective of this study was to evaluate the level of pesticides in the blood of small-scale farmers (SSFs) and associated risk factors in western Ethiopia.
Methods: Across sectional study was conducted in June 2020 using 240 blood samples, 140 from the exposed small-scale farmers (ESSFs) and 100 from non-exposed small-scale farmers (NESSFs).

The present study was done to assess the dissipation behavior, decontamination, and half-life time of ready-mix formulation of trifloxystrobin (25% w/w) and tebuconazole (50% w/w) in okra and soil under the crop after foliar spray at fruiting stage. Samples of okra and soil were collected periodically, i.e.

An enrichment culture technique was used for the isolation of bacteria capable of utilizing fipronil as a sole source of carbon and energy. Based on morphological, biochemical characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequence, the bacterial strains were identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and Acinetobacter oleivorans. Biodegradation experiments were conducted in loamy sand soil samples fortified with fipronil (50 µg kg(-1)) and inoculated with Acinetobacter sp.

The purpose of this analysis was to develop an efficient analysis for the estimation of residues of propanil in rice grain, husk, straw and soil samples. A liquid-liquid partitioning method was used for the extraction of propanil residues from the rice grains and its contents. For this, representative 10 g samples of blended rice grain, husk, straw and soil were soaked in acetone for 24 h, and the contents then partitioned two times into 100 and 50 mL dichloromethane and one time with 100 mL hexane.
