Table 1

Chromatographic parameters of the pesticides: retention factors (k), efficiencies (N), and asymmetry factors (B/A) for carbaryl and 1-naphthol in selected micellar mobile phases at pH 3 containing different surfactants (SDS, NCPC, or Brij-35) in the absence or presence of the organic solvent pentanol.
