Chemical and Bio-Chemical Fate of Phorate – Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Phorate is non-biocumulative and allergic organophosphate insecticide and nematode. Sulfur containing derivatives of organophosphate pesticide like phorate are markedly less effective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor than the oxygen containing derivatives. Long-term and low-level exposure to phorate can cause disturbances in energy-related metabolism, liver and kidney function, the antioxidant system, and DNA damage. The safe and effective use of pesticides requires knowledge of their mode of action in pests and adverse effects in non-target organisms coupled with an understanding of their metabolic activation and detoxification, keeping these things in mind we are going to write a review on acephate. In this review we have studied the toxicity, mode of action, different methods of decomposition viz. acidic, neutral and basic hydrolysis, decomposition in soil, decomposition by mammals, & decomposition in plants and different spectroscopic methods of detection.

Kinetics and Hydrolysis Mechanism of 2,4-dichlorofenoxyacetic acid
The hydrolytic transformation kinetics of the 2,4-dichlorofenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was investigated as a function of pH. The hydrolysis rate was pH-dependent and the first order. The hydrolysis was much faster in acidic...
