A New Method for Determination of Chlorophylls in Freshwater Algae

A new method (NMM, using acetic acid fiber filter and 90% ethanol) was established to determine chlorophyll in freshwater algae, and it was compared with US standard method (USM, using glass fiber filter and 90% acetone) and the method recommend by EPA of China (CHM, using acetic acid fiber filter and 90% acetone). The precision and repeatability of NMM is equivalent to that of USM, but NMM is safer to laboratory workers than USM and CHM because ethanol was used as solvent in NMM instead of acetone used in USM and CHM, and time and money were also greatly saved by the new method. The precision and repeatability of CHM was much less than USM and NMM, and the advice improving the method was proposed that the extraction time must be prolonged.     

Facile and Sensitive Spectrophotometric Determination of Carbosulfan in Formulations and Environmental Samples

Facile, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of carbosulfan in insecticidal formulations, fortified water, food grains, agriculture wastewater and soil samples with newly synthesized reagents. The method was based on acid and alkaline hydrolysis of the carbosulfan pesticide, and the resultant hydrolysis product of carbosulfan was coupled with 2,6-dibromo-4-methylaniline to give a yellow color product with λ _max of 464 nm or interaction with 2,6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline to produce yellow colored product with λ _max of 408 nm or coupling with 2,4,6-tribromoaniline to form red colored product has a λ _max of 471 nm. Under optimal conditions, Beer’s law range for 2,6-dibromo-4-methylaniline (DBMA) was found to be 0.2–12.0 μg ml⁻¹, 0.6–16.0 μg ml⁻¹ for 2,6-dibromo-4-nitroaniline (DBNA) and 0.4–15.0 μg ml⁻¹ for 2,4,6-tribromoaniline (TBA). The molar absorptivity of the color systems were found to be 3.112 × 10⁴ l mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹ for DBMA, 3.214 × 10⁴ l mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹ for DBNA and 3.881 × 10⁴ l mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹ for TBA. Sandell’s of the color reactions are 0.013 μg cm⁻² (DBMA), 0.012 μg cm⁻² (DBNA) and 0.011 μg cm⁻² (TBA) respectively. The effect of the non-target species on the determination of carbosulfan was studied to enhance the selectivity of the proposed methods. The formation of colored derivatives with the coupling agents is instantaneous and stable for 28, 30, and 26 h. Performance of the proposed methods were compared statistically in terms Student’s F and t-tests with the reported methods. An erratum to this article can be found at     

Effects of DDT and piperonyl butoxide on the metabolic alterations in pigeon (columba livia)

Abstract

Effect of acute doses of technical grade of dichloro diphenyl trichloro ethane (DDT) and piperonyl butoxide (PB) on hepatic micro‐somal cytochrome P₄₅₀ (Cyt. P450) and cytosolic glutathione‐S‐transferase (GST) activity in pigeon were studied after 24 hours of treatment. A completely reverse trend of changes in Cyt. P450 and GST activity were found as increase in Cyt. ?450 paralleled with decrease in GST activity following exposure to DDT. However, intensity of changes in Cyt. P450 was greater than that of GST. A dose dependent decrease in Cyt. ?450 and GST activity was observed after PB treatment. The study may, therefore, throw some light on metabolic alterations in wild birds resulting from environmental pollution by DDT and allied chemicals.
