Modification Of Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode For Detection Of Pesticides, Kansuda Langor

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Methyl parathion (MP) is an organophosphate pesticide broadly used in agriculture to protect crops and fruits from the damages caused by insects and pests. However, when it is used in large quantities, it can be potentially toxic to humans and animals, causing many poisoning effects. Moreover, its residues can also penetrate the food chain (via agriculture food products) as well as contaminating the environment, leading to air, water and soil pollution. Therefore, rapid determination and reliable quantification of trace level of MP are crucially needed for food safety and environmental monitoring. In this work, a low-cost and portable electrochemical sensor …
