Comparison of disinfection activities of nicotine with copper sulphate in water containing limnatis nilotica

Bu çalışmada, sülük ile kontamine suda nikotinin kirliliği kontrol altında tutmak amaçlı olarak potansiyel kullanımı araştırılmıştır. Nikotin ve bakır sülfatın LC50 değerleri 30 dakikalık maruz bırakmada hesaplanmıştır. Nikotinin anti-parazitik etkisi control olarak kullanılan bakır sülfat ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Nikotinin anti-parazitik etkisi L. niloticaya karşı 30 dakika süresince ölü ve canlı sülüklerin sayılması ile gerçekleştirildi. Pozitif kontrol olarak bakır sülfat ve negatif kontrol için ise distile su kullanıldı. Çalışmanın sonuçları nikotin için LD50 değerinin 6/10 3 ppm, ortalama ölüm zamanının 1.25±0.45 dakika olduğunu, bu değerlerin bakır sülfat için ise sırasıyla 637/10 2 ppm ve 12.00±3.69 dakika olduğunu gösterdi. Elde edilen sonuçlar nikotinin sülüklere karşı oldukça etkili olduğunu ve dezenfeksiyon maksatlı kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.

Limnatis nilotica bulunan suda dezenfeksiyon amaçlı olarak nikotinin bakır sülfat ile karşılaştırılması

In this study, we investigated the potential use of nicotine in controlling water polluted by leeches. The nicotine and copper sulphate LC50 values were also determined following 30 min exposure. The anti parasitic efect of nicotine was also compared with that of copper sulphate as positive control. The anti-leech efect of nicotine was evaluated against L. nilotica in which the number of dead and alive leeches in each utensil was counted for 30 min. The positive control group was copper sulphate and the negative control was distilled water. Our data showed that the LD50 value for nicotine was 6/10 3 ppm with mean death time of 1.25±0.45 min while the LD50 value for copper sulphate was 637/10 2 ppm with a mean death time of 12.00±3.69 min. Based on the obtained results nicotine is highly efective on leeches and might be used for disinfection purposes.
