Thiram: degradation, applications and analytical methods

J Environ Monit. 2003 Oct;5(5):717-23. doi: 10.1039/b304710e.

Abstract

In this review a brief introduction to thiram (tetramethylthiuram disulfide; TMTD) pesticide has been given along with other applications. All the important methods available are systematically arranged and are listed under various techniques. Some of these methods have been applied for the determination of thiram in commercial formulations, synthetic mixtures in grains, vegetables and fruits. A comparison of different methods is the salient feature of this review.
