At about eleven times after application of tri-allate, ethoprophos and parathion to a sandy soil, their rates of volatilization were determined with the aerodynamic method (AD),th e Bowen-ratio method (BR), the theoretical-profile method (TP) and the Box method (B). The volatilization was highest for tri-allate and lowest for parathion.

Important parameters that influ- photometric detector; ence the extraction efficiency (i.e., fibre type, extraction modes, extraction time, salt addition, Vegetables desorption time and temperature) were systematically investigated. Four types of commercially available fibres (i.e., 50/30 lm divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS), 65 lm polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB), 100 lm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and 85 lm polyacrylate (PA)) were evaluated. PA fibre exhibited the best performance and was used for the rest of the studies. The optimised extraction conditions were: extraction time, 30 min at room temperature; stirring speed, 1275 rpm; salt content, 10% NaCl; desorption time and temper- ature, 11 min at 260 °C; and no pH adjustment of the sample extract. The method was validated over the range 0.1–100 lg/L.

  • Ethoprophos (149)
    35 ETHOPROPHOS (149) First draft prepared by Trijntje van der Velde-Koerts and Bernadette C. Ossendorp, National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), Bilthoven, The Netherlands EXPLANATION Ethoprophos, a nematicide and soil-insecticide, was evaluated for residues in 1984 and in 1987. The toxicology of ethoprophos was periodically reviewed by the 1999 JMPR. Ethoprophos was listed as a priority compound under the periodic re-evaluation programme of the 30th Session of the CCPR (ALINORM 99/24 App VII) for residue review by the 2001 JMPR. The manufacturer requested the postponement of the residue evaluation. The basic manufacturer supplied information on identity, metabolism and environmental fate, residue analysis, use pattern, residues resulting from supervised trials on strawberry, banana, cucumber, melon, pepper, tomato, potato, sweet potato and sugar cane, fate of residues during storage and in processing, residues in food in commerce or at consumption and national maximum residue limits. IDENTIT ISO common name: ethoprophos Chemical name IUPAC: O-ethyl S,S-dipropyl phosphorodithioate CAS: O-ethyl S,S-dipropyl phosphorodithioate CAS Registry No: 13194-48-4 CIPAC No: 218 Synonyms and trade names: S,S-dipropyl O-ethyl phosphorodithioate; prophos; ethoprop; Mocap; VC9-104; ENT-27318; AE F034142 Structural formula: established by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 31P-NMR, APCI-MS (+/-) and UV-VIS (according to OECD 101) (Boeuf et al., 2000) O P S O S Molecular formula: C8H19O2PS2 (Boeuf et al., 2000) Molecular weight: 242.34 (Boeuf et al., 2000) Physical and chemical properties Pure active ingredient Physical and chemical properties were determined with the pure active ingredient, unless specified otherwise.
