The influence of humidity on the residual action of benzene hexachloride (BHC)

In controlled humidity chambers in the laboratory differences in the absorption velocity of BHC were observed depending on the substrate sprayed. While BHC is no longer used in Chagas' disease control this data could have relevance to spraying houses in a controlprogramme with other insecticide...
