Abstract:
An enzyme test has been worked out for detecting organophosphorus compounds in water. The test is based on the inhibition of cholinesterase. The detection limits for the "nerve gases" are (microgram/L): Soman 0.12, VX 5.9, Sarin 9.9 and Tabun 26. The detection limit for the organophosphorus pesticide dichlorvos is 50 micrograms/L.
