متن کاملFormation of dioxins during exposure of pesticide formulations to sunlight.
Chlorinated pesticides can contain impurities of dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and their precursors, as a result of various manufacturing processes and conditions. As precursor formation of PCDD/Fs can also be mediated by ultraviolet light (UV), this study investigated whether PCDD/Fs are formed when currently used pesticides are exposed to natural sunlight. Formulations contai...
متن کاملCan Skin Exposure to Sunlight Prevent Liver Inflammation?
