A spectrophotometric method for the determination of carbaryl in soil and strawberry fruit samples is described. The method is based on the coupling of 1-naphthol obtained from hydrolysing carbaryl with diazotised sulphanilic acid in an alkaline medium to form p-(4-hydroxyl-1-naphtylaza)benzenesulphonic acid which has a maximum absorbance at 475 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the range of 0.01-0.1 ppm of carbaryl. The proposed method is sensitive and rapid. The average carbaryl content of strawberry fruits was 6.03 ppm and the average 1-naphthol content of soil samples was 16.29. The samples were obtained from their sources during 1 day after approx. 24 h of rain.

A rapid and simple gas chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of malathion, parathion, fenitrothion, diazinon and carbaryl in drinking water is presented. A fused-silica SE-54 column was used for the separation of the insecticides and was split into two specific detectors; electron-capture and nitrogen-phosphorus detectors by using column switching. A water sample was extracted with methylene chloride. The organic phase was evaporated and the residue was derivatized with pentafluoropropionic acid anhydride. The detection limit was below 0.1 ng/ml and the calibration curves showed good linearity with r = 0.998 approximately 1.000. The method was sensitive, reproducible and simple enough to permit the reliable routine analysis of the pesticides in drinking water.
