Abstract:

A novel method for the determination of carbosulfan in environmental samples using oxidative coupling is being described. The method comprises of alkaline hydrolysis of the pesticide and the resulting phenol is reacted with 2,4-di-methoxy aniline in presence of acidified K2Cr207. The dye product formed is extracted into CHCl3 and the absorbance measured at 430nm.
