The effectiveness of three analyte protectants, namely, D-sorbitol, 3-ethoxy-1,2propanediol (ethoxypropanediol) and L-gulonic acid γ-lactone (gulonolactone) in improving peak shape of analytes for better peak sensitivity and quantitation during GC-MS analysis of pesticide residues were evaluated. The use of these analyte protectants were investigated with three pesticide groups i.e. organochlor...

Pyrethroid insecticides are used extensively in agriculture and in homes to control fleas, cockroaches, bedbugs, and other insects. In a new in vitro study researchers tested the hypothesis that mixtures of pyrethroids have a dose-additive effect—that is, that pyrethroids as a chemical group produce toxicity in mammals via a common mode of action and that the combined toxicity of a pyrethroid m...
