Fungicide Residues in Wool and Jute Textiles
topic
Fungicide residue analysis in wool and jute targets thiabendazole, carbendazim, and propiconazole applied during fibre storage and transit to prevent mould growth, using LC-MS/MS detection after acetonitrile extraction with dispersive solid phase cleanup; pentachlorophenol analysis by GC-MS addresses the historically used wood preservative applied to jute sacking contaminating raw jute fibres.
Role
Addresses the specific fungicide residue contamination pathways in imported wool bales and jute fibre where storage preservation treatments applied in exporting countries may leave residues in finished textile products exceeding REACH and OEKO-TEX limits for these pesticide classes.
