Methyl Parathion Residue in Contaminated Fabrics after Laundering... 

Photocatalytic activity has also been observed with some of these compounds. For instance, titanium dioxide nanoparticles were able to degrade 2-chloroethyl sulfide (mustard) in liquid and gas phase, a series of warfare agents like diethyl sulfide, dimethyl methyl phosphonate, diethyl phosphoramidate, pinacolyl methyl-phosphonate, and butylaminoethanthiol, and pesticides such as lindane, methyl parathion, and dichlorvos upon exposure to ultraviolet light (Vigo and Thibodeaux, 2001 Sundarrajan et al., 2010). Zinc oxide nanoparticles were incorporated into polymers used to produce electrospun coating on cotton fabrics and provided them with photocatalytic-activated antimicrobial properties (Munoz-BonUla and Femandez-Garcia, 2012).
