Migration of 14C Permethrin from Impregnated Military Fabric

Abstract

The insecticide Permethrin was assessed for potential fallout onto the skin surface from impregnated military fabric. Radiolabeled (14C) Permethrin was used for the fabric impregnation. After 7 days of continuous wear by rabbits, about 5 percent of the available chemical reached the skin surface, about 8 percent after 3 weeks. The deposition level when extrapolated to man would not be expected to cause toxic effects.
