Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBioaccumulation and Tissue Partitioning of Endosulfan by the Red Hybrid TilapiaDwight E. RobinsonThe frequent use of endosulfan in agricultural activity on steep slopes in Jamaica and subsequent contamination of rivers by the residues resulted in a need to assess the levels of bioaccumulation of sub-lethal doses of the insecticide in river fauna using Tilapia fish as a test subject. Bioconcentration of α- and β-endosulfan by the Red Hybrid Tilapia, from 0.0075 mg … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 29 Jun 2015 · 7,060 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleToxicity of Endosulfan to the Red Hybrid TilapiaDwight E. Robinson, Winroy WilliamsExposure of mature red hybrid Tilapia sp. to a range of sub-lethal concentrations of endosulfan for 21 days induced a spectrum of often not clearly distinguishable Behavioural Toxic Symptoms (BTS), ranging from reversible to eventually fatal responses. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC: Below the threshold of BTS) and the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC: Above the threshold of low … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2015 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Different Exogeneous Compounds on Biosorption of EndosulfanDeepika Dave, A. K. DikshitProblem statement: Organochlorine pesticide endosulfan is widely used as a replacement for DDT and dieldrin in many parts of the world. Presence of residual pesticides in the water, air and soil environment was confirmed since 1960s. Such Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are of concern because of their long-term subtle effects on hormones, the immune system and reproduction. Therefore, it becomes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Pesticide Residues in Banana by Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography-Mass SpectrometryR. Paranthaman, A. Sudha, S. KumaravelProblem statement: The occurrence of endosulfan, carbendazim, chloropyripos in 10 banana samples in southern area of Tamilnadu, India (hill banana, karpuravalli, monthan, nendran, ney poovan, pachanadan, poovan, rasthali, red banana, robusta) was investigated. Approach: In 7 samples, Carbendazim was found at concentrations ranging from 0.002-0.11 mg kg-1. In three samples, carbendazim was not found, whereas endosulfan, chloropyripos was not detected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 1 Mar 2012 · 9,544 accessesView PDFCite
