| Abstract |
A study was undertaken to assess the long-term chemical stability of dilute standard pesticide solutions of 4 compound classes. The solutions were studied under 4 storage conditions: freezer at -15C; refrigerator at 3C; ambient temperature in the dark; and ambient temperature on the bench top exposed to fluorescent and natural light. Pesticide compounds including 27 organochlorines, 20 organophosphates, 10 triazines, and 13 carbamates were monitored for periods of 6 months to 2 years. Most of the compounds were stable under all conditions for the full length of the study. Solutions of CDEC, butylate, and disulfoton, however, decomposed when stored under all storage conditions. Solutions of carbaryl, methiocarb, and carbofuran decomposed when stored at ambient laboratory temperature with exposure to light. Recommendations are made for formulating solvents, storage, and practical shelf life of high concentration storage, and practical shelf life of high concentration stock solutions and dilue gas chromatographic working standards representing 4 presticide classes. |
