DDT is available and used in different formulations (e.g., aerosols, dustable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, granules, wettable powders). It is used mainly to control mosquito-borne malaria. Its use on crops has decreased because of its persistent residues. DDT was extensively used during World War II among Allied troops and certain civilian populations to control insect typhus and malaria vectors, and was extensively used as an agricultural insecticide after 1945. DDT was banned for use in Sweden in 1970 and in the United States in 1972. In view of its large-scale use over the decades, many insect pests may have developed... 

Linuron is a substituted urea to control germinating and perennial broadleaf and grassy weeds on both crop and noncrop sites. Linuron inhibits photosynthesis in target weed plants. It is labeled for field and storehouse use in a variety of crops. Most of the linuron applied in the United States is in soybean production. Formulations include granules, wettable powders, flowable concentrates, and emulsifiable concentrates/...

Pesticide Dispersants. Modified ligaosulfates are used ia the formulatioa of pesticides, la wettable powders, suspeasioa coaceatrates, and water dispersible granules, they act as dispersants and prevent sedimentation. They also act as biaders ia the productioa of granular pesticides. Typical usage levels ia these types of products range from 2—10%. 

The main purpose of pesticide formulation is to manufacture a product that has optimum biological efficiency, is convenient to use, and minimizes environmental impacts. The active ingredients are mixed with solvents, adjuvants (boosters), and fillers as necessary to achieve the desired formulation. The types of formulations include wettable powders, soluble concentrates, emulsion concentrates, oil-in-water emulsions, suspension concentrates, suspoemulsions, water-dispersible granules, dry granules, and controlled release, in which the active ingredient is released into the environment from a polymeric carrier, binder, absorbent, or encapsulant at a slow and effective rate. The formulation steps may generate air emissions, liquid effluents, and solid wastes.

Formulations of chlorpyrifos include emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, granules, pellets, microencapsulates, and impregnated materials. Suggested diluents for concentrates include water and petroleum distillates, such as kerosene and diesel oil. Carrier compounds include synthetic clays with alkyl/aryl sulfonates as wetting agents (Table 14.1). Little information is available to assess the influence of various use formulations on toxicity, dispersal, decomposition, and bioavailability. Chemical and other properties of chlorpyrifos are summarized in Table 14.2 and Figure 14.1. 

Approximately 55 different commercial formulations of chlordecone have been prepared since its introduction in 1958 (Epstein 1978). The major form of chlordecone, which was used as a pesticide on food products, was a wettable powder (50% chlordecone) (Epstein 1978). Formulations of chlordecone commonly used for nonfood products were in the form of granules and dusts containing 5% or 10% active ingredient (Epstein 1978). Other formulations of chlordecone contained the following percentages of active ingredient 0.125% (used in the United States in ant and roach traps), 5% (exported for banana and potato dusting), 25% (used in the United States in ant and roach bait), 50% (used to control mole crickets in Florida), and 90% (exported to Europe for conversion to kelevan for use on Colorado potato beetles in eastern European countries) (Epstein 1978).
