Overview
abstract
-
We have shown that washing, fabric type, and light exposure affects permethrin content in fabrics. The objective of this contract is to evaluate permethrin levels in baby wrap fabric worn by mothers/babies in Uganda. A subset of subjects (control and experimental groups) have been asked to submit worn fabrics and ECU will develop methodology and quantify the amount of permethrin in approximately 200 fabric samples using a gas chromatograph.
