CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION OF GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY MASS SPECTROMETRY IN PESTICIDE ANALYSIS FROM BODY FLUIDS.

Introduction

Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) is the most suitable technique for the diagnosis of disorders of organic acid metabolism, known as organic acidurias. In other words organic acidurias are also commonly known as insecticide, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. The first applications analysis of GCMS began in the early 1990s. The process of application of GCMS is used in various laboratories, quantitative and qualitative procedures for complex mixture analysis of body fluids and determination of a variety of chemically diverse metabolites in urine. Body fluids like urine, blood, and gastric contents …show more content…

Pesticides analysis are important for an investigation in which a foul play is suspected and to determine accidental deaths and suicides. The method to analysis of biological material for the presence of drugs urine is the most useful material that is available. Analyst does not face the problems during the analysis by performing examination with urine as a body fluid for the investigation. As it is protein free it has unchanged substance. Only unchanged substances will be encountered, and the analysis will not be complicated by the presence of numerous and sometimes unknown metabolites (Mishra, Shukla & Gupta, …show more content…

The pesticides studied, which have appeared frequently in actual cases, were endosulfan, lindane, parathion, ethyl-azinphos, diazinon, Malathion, alachlor, tetradifon, fenthion. These study widely reviewed the concern of exposure to pesticides with analytical methods for biological monitoring. All phases of analytical procedures were assessed which included storage, sample preparation, analysis, and validation of methods. The study was main aimed at measuring metabolites or unchanged compounds in urine or blood as biological indicators of exposure. Biological indicators of effect like cholinesterase were evaluated as these compounds are easily decomposed at the GCMS injection port. The temperature programmable inlet on-column injection was used for the procedure. Combination of the two method a new sensitive analytical method was established without hydrolysis and thermal decomposition. Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry and Gas Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry are the recent emerging trends in the simultaneous analysis. Besides all the techniques reported so far there is a need to develop other economical techniques with the better sensitivity and finest resolution in order to provide speedy determination of pesticides in the body

Insecticides are found in urban streams. Herbicides used in agricultural production are found in water from rural watersheds. Furthermore Bartram states that pesticides and herbicides used in agriculture frequently lead to the contamination of surface water and groundwater. According to Harrison pesticides in water aquifers are not easily degraded and persist in the aquifers due to reduced microbial activity, lower

Borowski is very straight forward in the book This way to the gas, ladies and gentlemen because it emphasizes the dark nature of the events that happened in the Nazi concentration camps. In the short story “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen,” Borowski explains how a few people in the concentration camps would get extra food by taking it from the people who were going to be taken to the gas chambers without feeling bad about it. He also details how the infants were sent to their deaths as soon as they reached the concentration camps. Borowski does this because it lets the reader see how indifferent and cruel the S.S. Soldiers were to the people in the camps as well as how numb to the environment the people in the camps became.

The purpose of postmortem analysis for drugs and alcohol is ordinarily to determine as accurately as possible the concentration of the agents that existed in blood at the time of death, since blood and plasma levels are used to assess the effects and determine the likelihood of any drug toxicity. In certain circumstances, such as decomposition, a valid blood concentration of drugs or alcohol cannot be determined or results are questionable. A thorough understanding of the tissue distribution and postmortem stability of drugs is essential for forensic toxicologists, not only for selecting appropriate specimens for analysis of drugs in corpses, but also for correct interpretation of drug levels in postmortem fluids and tissues, and how seriously individuals have been poisoned by the drugs. Heroin, after being injected, is rapidly metabolized in blood to 6-monoacetylmorphine with a half-life of approximately 3 min; its conversion is completed within 10-15 min (1,2).

Fear, a concept that everyone has made contact with at least some point in our lives, whether it be through insectophobia, nyctophobia, or acrophobia, the emotion of fear is an emotion everyone has to come to terms with. Yet so many of us take for granted all the necessities we receive every day such as food and water while others need to work immense hours a day or trek an absurd amount of miles to obtain these resources just to survive, fearing that they still won’t have enough. Even so, there is one thing that we, as humans, always overlook until it’s creeping right around the corner: death. Although this may be true, receiving the fear of death does bear some fruit. For example, if someone were to escape death, they will most likely value life more highly.

At this time, there is little to no evidence that these pesticides are increasing yields from plants they are applied to. However, there has been evidence of the pesticides killing bees or causing damage to their nervous systems, which impedes their ability to forage and fly. Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health preformed a study which found that 70% of pollen and honey collected from local bees contained at least trace amounts of neonicotinoids. Levels found from these samples were enough to cause detrimental health effects. In a separate study, they found that over half of plants at a major garden store contained neonicotinoids.

ABSTRACT Carbon monoxide is one of the by-products from burning items and other materials during a fire, and it is the leading cause of death from inhalation. Early recognition and treatment of patients with carbon monoxide (CO) exposure do not only save the patient’s life but also protects the emergency care personnel’s from becoming patients themselves. Report has shown that, carbon monoxide poisoning is a common cause of death worldwide and over 2000 individuals commit suicide by intentional poisoning and some others die while asleep or drunk due to high levels of exposure.

DETERMINATION OF PERCENTAGE ETHANOL IN BEVERAGES 1. Introduction to Gas Chromatography Gas chromatography is a very powerful separation technique for compounds that are reasonably volatile. The components of a sample partitions into two phases, the 1st of these phases is a immobile bed with a great surface area, and the other is a gas phase that permeates through the immobile bed. The sample is evaporated and passed by the mobile gas phase or the carrier gas through the column. Samples separates into the stationary liquid phase, based on their solubilities at the given temperature.
