Extraction of chlorpyriphos froma commercial formulation and biological sample
Modern analytical methods for extracting pesticide are found in the literature, but the required equipment not always available. Given the large human, animal and environmental exposure to pesticides, and the inaccessibility to analytical methods, it is important to rescue simple methods for identifying pesticides. This research aimed to evaluate the efficiency of extracting an agrochemical active from a commercial formulation, directing its application in emergencies by cost, quality, and speed.
