Cellular Toxicity of Surfactants Used as Herbicide Additives
The cellular toxicities of surfactants, a solvent, and an antifreeze that are included in herbicide formulations were assessed by measuring their effects on membrane integrity, metabolic activity, mitochondrial activity, and total protein synthesis rate in a cell culture. Polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and monoethylene glycol exhibited no cellular toxicity even at a high concentration o...
متن کاملSurfactants and Additives
An adjuvant is any material added to a herbicide spray solution to enhance or modify the performance of the solution. Adjuvants can be divided into two general categories: spray modifiers and activators (Kirkwood, 1994). Spray modifiers are those adjuvants that change the wetting, spreading or sticking characteristics of the spray solution. This is primarily accomplished by a modification in th...
متن کاملToxicity of nonionic surfactants
Nonionic surfactants are amphilic chemicals that enhance desorption and bioavailability by increasing solubility and dispersion of poorly soluble hydrocarbons and oils. This study was conducted to determine the toxicity of commercial nonionic surfactants by using the Microtox Acute Toxicity test which is a rapid, simple test for toxicity. The test uses the luminescent bacterium V. fischeri as t...
متن کاملChemicals used as disinfectants: active ingredients and enhancing additives.
Active ingredients used in microbiocidal products in the European Union constitute some 250 chemical entities. Approximately 100 of these chemicals are commonly used in disinfectant products. The majority of these substances may be classified into distinct chemical groupings. A brief review of the chemical, physical and microbiological properties of each group is given, together with some indic...
متن کاملFabrication of vesicles from mixed cationic/anionic surfactants with additives
In this study, positively charged catanionic vesicles were fabricated from an ion pair amphiphile (IPA), hexadecyltrimethylammonium-dodecylsulfate (HTMA-DS), with the addition of a double-chained cationic surfactant, ditetradecyldimethylammonium bromide (DTDAB), and cholesterol by a mechanical dispersion process. The effects of the added cholesterol on physical stability of the catanionic vesic...
