Abstract

Pesticide poisoning is one of the most common instances of poisoning deaths in every agriculture-dependent
country may it be in form of suicidal or homicidal cases. Traditional classes of pesticides like the Organophosphates,
Organochlorides and Carbamates have given way to the newer class of pesticides known as synthetic Pyrethroids.
Some of the synthetic Pyrethroids like Cypermethrin, Deltamethrin and Fenavalerate are increasingly being
encountered as routinely used poisons in rural India. In the instance of poisoning detecting the class of Pyrethroids
uses a complex and costly instruments which is not very user friendly and also expensive. In the present article
Thin Layer chromatography which is classical method of seperation science has been used as tool to identify
the class of Pyrethroids, identification of Cypermethrin pesticide is analyzed using different solvent system for
qualitative analysis with suitable spray reagent to identify the movement of the spot
