Organophosphate and Pyrethroid Residues in Natural Fibres
topic
Multi-residue organophosphate and pyrethroid screening extracts natural fibre textile specimens by QuEChERS method or pressurised liquid extraction, quantifying up to 200 individual pesticide compounds simultaneously by GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS with matrix-matched calibration against OEKO-TEX Standard 100 maximum residue limits for each active substance.
Role
Provides comprehensive coverage of currently used insecticide residues in conventionally grown cotton, wool, and silk from global agricultural supply chains, identifying individual pesticides and combinations that may exceed regulatory limits due to cumulative dermal exposure risks in direct skin contact textile products.
