Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the pesticide residues in dehusked rice (Oryza sativa L.) on ADT 36 variety of TamilNadu, India. The concentration of quinalphos pesticide was determined by gas chromatography mass spectrometer. In this variety, study was done for extracting and computing the organochlorine and Organophosphorous pesticide residues using GC-MS as a quantitative tool. The mean levels of pesticide in the sample has crossed the threshold limiting values (TLV) of PFA. So presently there is serious health problem in the sample due to pesticide poisoning. The results present important information on the current contamination status of an important agricultural crop in India and highlight the need for immediate action to manage the use of some excessively applied and potentially persistent pesticides.
