Download or read book Evaluation of Carbonaceous Adsorbent Coated Fabric as a Barrier to Pesticide Penetration for Dermal Exposure Reduction in Pesticide Application written by EP. Easter and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the research was to assess the barrier protection of carbonaceous adsorbent coated fabrics to pesticide penetration using three pesticides at three levels of exposure. The fabric helsasafe® was a three component, textile/adhesive/adsorber structure, employing Ambersorb® adsorbent, a patented synthetic adsorbent resulting from pyrolysis of macroreticular polymer beads. A pesticide spray chamber delivered a controlled amount of pesticide solution to the fabric samples. The analysis was completed by extracting the pesticide residue from the fabric with hexane. High performance liquid chromotography (HPLC) analysis enabled the detection of pesticides at the ppm level. The results showed that helsasafe® 503045 and 502666 provided complete barrier protection for one pass exposure levels for all three pesticides. These two fabrics also provided complete barrier protection for two and three pass exposures of the pesticide Chlorobenzilate®. In addition, the same two fabrics provided complete barrier protection in the majority of replications for the other two pesticides at two and three pass exposures. Also, all three helsasafe® fabrics provided better barrier protection to the pesticide Terrazole® than the six denim fabrics used for comparison.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fabric functional finish and formulation of pesticides are factors that contribute to pesticide wicking, wetting, and penetration. Fluorocarbon soil-repellent finishes inhibit contamination of the fabric and of sentinel pads. An undergarment layer offers better protection than does a single layer. Spun-bonded olefin offers protection of the same magnitude as soil-repellent finishes. Methyl parathion residues after laundering were similar for the unfinished fabric, the durable-press finished fabric, and the soilrepellent finished fabric, but the initial contamination of the soil-repellent finished fabric was only 20% of that of the other two fabrics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of seven work fabrics as barriers to three volumes of four carbon-14-labeled pesticides was determined in a controlled laboratory study. Significant differences were found for fabric, pesticide, and volume. Three laminate fabrics offered significantly better protection against the pesticides tested than fabrics now worn for pesticide application. The test fabrics were least effective barriers against parathion and Guthion and most effective barriers for paraquat. In general, as the volume increased, the effectiveness of the test fabrics decreased.

This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildlife Toxicity Assessments for Chemicals of Military Concern is a compendium of chemical-specific toxicity information with discussions on the rationale and development of Wildlife Toxicity Reference Values (TRVs) intended for use on terrestrial wildlife for risk assessment applications. Substances covered include military-related chemicals including explosives, propellants, pesticides and metals. Wildlife Toxicity Assessments for Chemicals of Military Concern is a much-needed resource designed to meet the needs of those seeking toxicological information for ecological risk assessment purposes. Each chapter targets a specific chemical and considers the current knowledge of the toxicological impacts of chemicals to terrestrial wildlife including mammalian, avian, amphibian and reptilian species. - Provides detailed information on how Wildlife Toxicity Values (TRVs) for military chemicals of concern are derived and evaluated. - Covers wildlife toxicity assessments of explosives, metals and environmental chemicals. - Compiles relevant information on the environmental effects of chemicals on wildlife in relation to public and environmental health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seam and/or zipper closures were evaluated as barriers to pesticides by using a multilayer sample. The sample was exposed to a spray solution of either dicofol or etridiazole using a laboratory spray chamber. The samples were solvent extracted and the extracts were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC). This study found that the plain seam, and the lapped traditional zipper provided the best barrier to specific pesticides.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The structure of nine fabrics, their resistance to aerosol penetration, and their pore size distributions were evaluated to determine their suitability as barrier fabrics for protection against aerosols. A main objective is to gain insight and knowledge which will be useful for designing fabrics that will provide better protection with minimum discomfort. Aerosol penetration was assessed using fluorescent polystyrene latex spheres ranging in diameter from 0. 6 to 4.5 um at a face velocity of 1.8 cm/s. The maximum penetration occurred for 1.01 micrometers diameter spheres. Fabric pore size distributions were measured by liquid extrusion and microscopical image analysis, and the maximum pore size was also measured by liquid critical breakthrough pressure. Results obtained by all three techniques were fairly consistent. The best correlation between fabric structure and particle penetration at this time is between fabric density and weave type, with penetration decreasing with increasing fabric areal density and being lower for plain weave fabrics than for twill weaves.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have recently described a new, systematic method for assessing the barrier performance characteristics of various protective clothing fabrics to aerosols of chrysotile asbestos fibers. This morphometric technique is rather labor intensive, requiring significant efforts for filter preparation, subsequent scanning electron microscopy identification of fibers and computerized morphometric analysis for assessing penetration of fibers through fabrics. In the current study, we are developing an online instantaneous method for assessing barrier protection by measuring particle penetration among various fabric samples. Assessments of particle penetration for each fabric type were made using particle counters to quantify the particle concentrations in the airstream both before and after exposure to the commercial fabric samples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of protective clothing while applying pesticides to crops is considered a deterrent to dermal exposure. A design for a protective garment and hood for fruit orchard workers was developed at Utah State University. The prototype was manufactured in Gore-Tex, Saranex-laminated Tyvek, and an experimental composite structure. Workers wore all garments and personal work clothing in a field setting. After wearing the prototype on the job for an average 2-h period, fruit orchard workers evaluated the garment for functional designing qualities, sizing, and styling features. The protective suit was favorably rated. The hood design was found to be inadequate. Specifications for the garment needed length adjustment in the sleeve area and additional ease through shoulders. The hood design needs complete revision. The prototype evaluation suggested that desirable styling features and appropriate sizing characteristics definitely increase wearability potential of protective garments.
