Abstract
Summary Evidence of poisoning of honeybees by organophosphorus insecticides is frequently obtained by measuring the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, but in the case of triazophos poisoning inhibition is reversible, making the biochemical method unsuitable for this insecticide. An alternative procedure using gas-liquid chromatography is described.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
