Below is a list of the various
organophosphorus
compounds that we provide analysis services for.
We have also provided links
to relevant sites that describe the compounds in greater detail
and in many cases where these compounds might be found.
We can of course take no
responsibility for the content of those other web sites.

World's Largest-Class Residual Pesticide Analysis System Simultaneously Testing 650 Agricultural CheA number of ORGANOPHOSPHORUS pesticides, including dichlorvos, parathion, parathion methyl and phorate, were discovered one after another from the same dumplings and other imported foods.

An unhealthy rulingThese included the chemical categories of amide fungicides, which are used on fruit crops, and ORGANOPHOSPHORUS insecticides, along with carbon tetrachloride, which is used to fumigate grain after it is harvested. Among the specific chemicals examined was captan, which is used on grapes, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, prunes and plums, to name just a few, as well as sulphur compounds used on fruit trees.
