Studies in contact toxicity

Part II. Reactivation of surface treated with dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) by storage in a Burma teak box

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

Experiments are described which show that, glass surfaces treated with DDT exhibiting feeble activity againstCiliex fatigans Wied can be reactivated as a result of their storage in a box made of Burma teak. The reactivation appears to be specifie for Burma teak, and results obtained with other timbers are described. Some experiments have been carried to elucidate the mechanism of reactivation. Further work is in progress.
