Isolation and concentration of organophosphorus pesticides from water using a c18 reversed phase
1989
Abstract A simple, rapid and effective method for the extraction and enrichment of organophosphorus pesticides based on the use of Sep-Pak C 18 cartridges was studied as alternative method to those based on extraction with organic solvents. The influence of the elution solvent, pH, salinity and volume of water filtered was studied for ten organophosphorus pesticides. The pesticides were determined by gas chromatography with a BP-1 capillary column and a thermionic detector. Recoveries at the 100 and 200 ng/1 spiking levels were greater than 85%, except for disulfoton.
Pseudocholinesterase Activity in Organophosphate Poisoning after Storage of Unseparated Blood Samples at Room Temperature for 3 Weeks
2005
Suppressed pseudocholinesterase activity is a well-established laboratory finding in patients with serious organophosphate poisoning (1). Recently, a 48-year-old man with suspected ingestion of methyl parathion died, and the postmortem examination was not indicative. After 3 weeks, an overlooked specimen was discovered that had been collected from the patient ∼1 h after the suspected poisoning. The determination of pseudocholinesterase activity was requested. The blood sample, which showed complete hemolysis, was separated by centrifugation, and the pseudocholinesterase activity was determined. The result of 4.21 kU/L indicated the presence of only minor organophosphate poisoning without su…
