Abstract:
      A method for the determination of carbofuran residues in the water was developed by SPE-HPLC. Residues in water were extracted with acetonitrile, followed by cleanup with SPE column. The extracted samples were analyzed by HPLC with post-column derivatization system and fluorescence detector. The correlation coefficient(R2) of this method was 0.999 9. In this study, to analyze carbofuran’s dynamic changes in water, carbosulfan technical(90%) and formulation(20% EC) was added to water in the same carbosulfan concentration as 0.1, 0.2, 0.6, 1.2 mg·L-1 and 1.8 mg·L-1, respectively. Then, at the end of 96 h, the contents of carbofuran ranged from 0.018 mg·L-1 to 0.244 mg·L-1 for water treated with carbosulfan technical(90%), Whereas, for water treated with carbosulfan formulation(20% EC), the concentrations of carbofuran ranged from 0.020 mg·L-1 to 0.276 mg·L-1. Meanwhile, the LC50 of 96 h for Gambusia affinis exposed to carbosulfan technical(90%) and formulation(20% EC), was 0.079 mg·L-1 and 0.047 mg·L-1, respectively. Thus, when applied to water, compared to carbosulfan technical(90%), carbosulfan 20% EC formulation exhibited stronger toxicity to Gambusia affinis, and, the acute toxicity of carbosulfan to Gambusia affinis would be replaced by the joint toxicity of carbosulfan and its degradation products.
