“…Upon electron beam irradiation of PP, 2,4-DTBP and 1,3-DTBB were identified as Irganox 168 degradation products when measured by GC-MS and HPLC (Garde et al, 2001;Krzymien et al, 2001;Marque, Feigenbaum, Dainelli, & Riquet, 1998). Similarly, in our study 2,4-DTBP and 1,3-DTBB were detected in LLDPE films as radiolysis products and their concentrations increased with increasing irradiation dose.…”
