Title Malathion and diazinon levels in grain dust from New Orleans area grain elevators
Bibliographic information Mar. 1984, Vol.45, No.3, p.168-171. 11 ref.
Abstract Residual levels of malathion and diazinon were measured in 31 samples of grain dust collected from 6 grain elevators. The analytical limits of detection were 0.1µg/g for malathion and 0.01µg/g for diazinon. Malathion was detected in the dust samples at levels ranging from 0.17 to 32µg/g, but diazinon levels were below the detection limit.
