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...

Description
Summary: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 insecticides. Em câmaras de umidade controlada foi observada diferença na velocidade de absorção do BHC relacionada ao substrato borrifado. Embora não seja mais utilizado o BHC pelo Controle da Doença de Chagas no Brasil, estes dados podem ser relevantes para outros inseticidas usados em programas de controle.
