Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The specific objective of this research is to determine the effect of formulation of herbicide atrazine on its removal from protective clothing of atrazine manufacturing plant workers. Because atrazine is not produced in an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation, the results of atrazine formulations were compared with those of EC formulation metolachlor. The transfer of residue to other laundries that are not contaminated or to other parts of the same laundry is a concern for commercial as well as family laundering. An ancillary objective is to determine the transferability of the contaminant chemical to an uncontaminated fabric in a concomitant laundering in each pesticide formulation.
