The efficiency of common organic solvents in extracting carbon-14-labeled carbaryl, dicamba, chlorothalonil, and glyphosate from cotton twill was examined. The degree of extractions was influenced by pesticide formulation, pesticide polarity, and solvent polarity. In most but not all instances, higher solvent polarity resulted in greater pesticide extraction. The data have implications in extraction methods selected for quantitation of pesticide residue on fabrics following various refurbishing techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
