Abstract :

Chlorpyrifos is considered to be a broad- spectrum pesticide. It is a most commonly used kind of pesticides for killing of variety of insects, pest’s worms in agricultural sector. It is easily available in market and is highly toxic in nature. The suicidal cases, accidental cases due to poisoning of chlorpyrifos have been reported in large number due to easy to access for this pesticide. Even though many instrumental techniques like UV, HPLC are available for its identification but the analysis cost is high. In this paper we have detected the chlorpyrifos in human blood by using TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) using different types of solvent system. This technique is fast, reliable, cost effective and less expensive than other sophisticated techniques.
