Abstract
The present paper deals with acute toxicity test carried out for pesticide endosulfan. The LC50 value, standard error (for accuracy of variance) and maximum and minimum fiducial limit were calculated. The safe concentration for endosulfan was found 2.038 ml mg/lit. The biochemical component glycogen was studied in the control and polluted water.The glycogen content of liver decreased after acute treatment by endosulfan at 2.024 and 3.039 milli mg/lit conc.
