KATEGORİDEKİ DİĞER YAZILAR
The dithiocarbomate fungicide class (DTCs) is a heavily used pesticide in agriculture. When they are used in agricultural areas, their residues remain both as a formulation and as products from which they are decomposed. The general features of DTCs can be listed as follows:
- A broad spectrum of activity against various plant pathogens
- Low acute mammalian toxicity
- Low production cost
Apart from the above pros, Dithiocarbomate is highly reactive. It readily chelates most heavy metals and reacts with the sulfhydryl groups of proteins, making itself neurotoxic, teratogenic, and cytotoxic. Toxicological effects of DTC pesticides may occur due to skin contact, ingestion and inhalation.
For this reason, “Dithiocarbomate Pesticide Analysis” is one of the important analyzes performed. Dithiocarbomate fungicides are pesticide residues that are frequently detected in plant products. Residue of these pesticides in food can lead to serious problems that cause chronic damage to health as people consume these substances as part of their usual dietary intake.
