Toxicity — It is highly toxic via inhalation, oral, subcutaneous derman, intraperitoneal, intravenous, or intramuscolar routes. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Sulfotep is employed as a pesticide. TLV-TWA: 0.2 mg/m3 (skin). OSHA standard air TWA 0.2 mg/m3 (skin).
Adsorption Behaviour of Quinalphos and Its Leaching Potential in Different Agricultural Soils

Extensive research has been carried out on the sorption behavior of the various classes of pesticides in soil (Arienzo et al. 1993; Bermúdez-Couso et al. 2012; Boivin, Cherrier, and Schiavon 2005; Kaur et al. 2016; Krishna and Philip 2008; Kumari and Siby 2019; Liang et al. 2011; Vischetti et al. 2010; Wu et al. 2011). The interaction between particles of pesticide and soil depends on the nature and properties of both, soils and pesticides. The high correlation between the adsorption of pesticide and the soil organic matter content has been explained (Morillo et al. 2000; Parolo, Savini, and Loewy 2017; Singh, Kumar, and Singh 1994). (Alfonso et al. 2017) reported the adsorption of organophosphate pesticides like diazinon, dimethoate, methyl parathion, and sulfotep in tropical soils. An adsorption study of dimethoate, Fenthion, and quinalphos on Greek soils has been reported (Islam, Sakkas, and Albanis 2010; Vagi et al. 2010). But still fewer sorption studies have been performed with phosphorus-containing pesticides in Indian soils. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies on adsorption and desorption of quinalphos on Indian soils have been carried out. It was also reported that kinetic studies influence the persistence and irreversible binding of pesticides (Guo et al. 2000; Jonge, De, Breure, and Andel 1996), but kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption of pesticides in soil were investigated by only a few researchers (ElShafei et al. 2009).
