EFFECT OF CHLORPYRIFOS ON LIVER FUNCTION OF ALBINO RATES

This study was conducted with the aim of studying the survival of chlorpyrifos on cucumber fruits. The fruits were applied by the recommended doses of chlorpyrifos. Residues of pesticides in fruits were determined used liquid chromatography. The results showed that the residual chlorpyrifos decreased gradually due to time factor and the process of the fruit washing with water had a clear effect in reducing the concentration of the presence of chlorpyrifos in the applied fruits. Chronic toxicity of chlorpyrifos on liver function after the pesticide application showed that pesticides induced some effects on different biological functions of experimental animals applied with pesticide.
