Abstract:

The presence of 2,2-Dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP), popularly called, dichlorvos, in selected dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) samples was investigated in order to ascertain the levels of the contaminant in dry beans sold locally in Benue State, Nigeria. The samples were analyzed using gas chromatographymassspectrometry after the preparation of internal standard containing a mixture of acetone and diethyl pimelate, and 2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate standard. Dichlorvos was present in samples A, B, C and D at levels 3.0 x 10-5, 2.7 x 10-5, 9.0 x 10-6 and 1.6 x 10-5 μg/mL respective
