Abstract
Carbamate pesticides rank among the most frequently utilized chemical substances in both agricultural practices and domestic pest management. Their neurotoxic effects, primarily due to the reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, have led to a need for advanced analytical systems capable of identifying trace residues in various environmental settings. This study aims to create and assess a multi-technique analytical framework for the detection, identification, and quantification of carbamate pesticides in environmental samples, while examining analytical performance, matrix influences, and breakdown products to facilitate precise environmental monitoring and toxicological risk evaluation. This research provides a comprehensive experimental analysis of chromatographic, spectroscopic, electrochemical, and biosensing methods for multi-carbamate detection. Actual environmental samples were tested to compare sensitivity, reproducibility, identification of metabolic markers, and degradation patterns. The study establishes an enhanced multi-platform detection system with simultaneous multi-carbamate analytical abilities, laying a solid groundwork for regulatory oversight, environmental forensics, and assessments of long-term exposure.
Keywords: Carbamate pesticides, chromatographic analysis, biosensors, electrochemical detection, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, multimodal detection, toxicological assessment, environmental matrices.
