TI  - Penetration of household insecticides through different types of textile fabrics.
PG  - 1543-52
AB  - Six different types of fabrics were compared for their ability to protect against 
      human exposure to three different commercial household aerosol insecticides. 
      Fabrics used in this investigation were, 100% cotton, cotton-polyester thermal 
      underwear, cotton-polyester blend (twill), 100% acrylic, 100% wool and artificial 
      silk (rayon). The household insecticides were, Black Flag (Ant and Roach Killer), 
      Raid (Ant and Roach Killer) and Hot Shot (Wasp and Hornet Killer) containing 
      propoxur, permethrin/pyrethrins and chlorpyrifos/allethrins as their active 
      ingredients respectively. A fluorescent tracer, 4-methyl-7-diethyl amino coumarin 
      was mixed with the aerosol (or equivalent aliquot) and sprayed onto cloth squares 
      fitted on Whatman paper patches. The percentage of penetration through the cloth 
      was quantified by the intensity of the fluorescence spectrum of each patch 
      extract and the amount of the tracer recovered was calculated. The extract was 
      concentrated to 1/10th of the volume to measure the content of each of the 
      insecticides by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) using electron capture 
      (ECD) and diode array detectors. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the 
      fabrics showed the geometry of the yarn. The results obtained from the 
      fluorescence spectra, SFC and SEM showed that cotton-polyester (twill), cotton, 
      wool and cotton thermal underwear were the least penetrable materials for the 
      aerosols. On the other hand, acrylic and artificial silk (rayon) were the most 
      penetrable cloth types.
