Organophosphate insecticide spray poses potential threat of contamination of environmental components their accumulation in aquatic organisms. Although various physiological deficits associated with their exposure in fishes are documented, yet their retention in their edible muscle tissues has been poorly studied. In this context, the study was undertaken to ascertain the bioaccumulation of two organophosphate insecticide compounds (dimethoate and chlorpyrifos) in the muscles of juvenile Cyprinus carpio. The study could provide insight into the risks to human health associated with consuming contaminated fish flesh. The fishes exposed to various concentrations of dimethoate and chlorpyrifos in-vivo for 96 to ascertain the uptake and retention of these insecticides in the muscle. Results indicated that fish muscles accumulated the residues at all the concentrations with the recovery of 2.99% (0.032 ppm) of dimethoate exposed to LC₅₀ concentrations. In contrast, the chlorpyrifos residues were found Below the Detection Level (BDL) in the fishes exposed to LC₅₀ concentrations. The percentage bioaccumulation of dimethoate in fish muscle was 88.10%, and that of chlorpyrifos was BDL. The bio-concentration factor was dose-dependent and increased with increasing doses of both insecticides. The study invites attention to human health risk assessment in the regions where contaminated fish are consumed without scientific supervision.

Herein, the simultaneous quantification, dissipation, risk assessment, half‐life period and method validation of carbendazim and triazophos by high‐performance liquid chromatography has been described. The developed method was validated as per the sante guidelines 2017. All calibration curves showed a good linear relationship (r >  0.99) within test range. Precision was assessed by intra‐ and inter‐day tests with relative standard deviations less than 5%. Recovery was observed within acceptable limit. The residue level of carbendazim and triazophos residues were observed upto the third day and reached below the detection limit on green pea on the fifth day after treatment with carbendazim and triazophos formulation at recommended dosages. Based on the findings, waiting period of 5 days is recommended for consumption of green pea. The presented study would be helpful for safe usage of carbendazim and triazophos on green pea and to prevent any health risk to consumers. The developed method is simple, easy, sensitive and repeatable with a short run time, and can be extended for residues based standardisation of pesticide formulations containing green pea and its use in pesticide industries.
