Book ChapterDOI
Insecticide residues in California citrus fruits and products.
TL;DR: It was realized shortly after 1940 that the slow disappearance or attenuation from leaves of these (DDT) surface deposits and effective residues from organic pesticides signified at least partial penetration into subsurface tissues.
Book ChapterDOI
Occurrence, isolation, and identification of polynuclear hydrocarbons as residues.
F. A. Gunther,Franco Buzzetti +1 more
TL;DR: The contamination of air and water by a variety of industrial and other chemicals of this type is occurring while more and more direct food-additive and plant-protection chemicals are in increasingly regulated use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Worker environment research. IV. The effect of dust derived from several soil types on the dissipation of parathion and paraoxon dislodgable residues on citrus foliage.
TL;DR: It is significant that, second to Pike's Peak clay, the highest total dislodgable residue level was found with Visalia silt loam which was collected from a grove where a worker poisoning episode had occurred in 1974, and foliar dust is implicated as a causative factor in the non-uniformity of residue dissipation rates.
Book ChapterDOI
Pesticide stability in cold-stored plant parts, soils, and dairy products, and in cold-stored extractives solutions.
TL;DR: The importance of colorimetry, thin-layer chromatography, cholinesterase (ChE) assay, and other separating and determinative techniques should not be overlooked as valuable components of definitive apid credible pesticide residue programs.
Book ChapterDOI
Automated pesticide residue analysis and screening.
F. A. Gunther,D. E. Ott +1 more
TL;DR: For certain pesticide chemicals which were of widespread application on certain major crops or products, and which were also of pharmacological concern, as residue analytical methodology improved in minimum detectability, and in reliability, some “zero” and other tolerance values have been lowered with certain commodities to accommodate a new analytical capability.
