Abstract: | Abstract Carbaryl, 1-napthyl N-methyl carbamate, is an extremely, broad spectrum, contact action insecticide having wide acceptance because of its low mammalian toxicity and less persistent nature. Because Carbaryl is widely used in monsoon season, it finds its way into aquatic environment. The feasibility of Carbaryl removal by alum coagulation, was checked and found to be suitable for 98% removal of Carbaryl along with efficient turbidity removal in water matrices. The low level monitoring of Carbaryl was performed by spectroscopic technique. |
