The Agency s mission is to control and abate pollution in the areas of air, water, solid waste, pesticides, radiation, and toxic substances. The EPA coordinates and supports research and anti-pollution activities by state and local governments, private and public groups, individuals, and educational institutions.

Other than aerial application over swamps for mosquito abatement, disulfoton is not known to be used over water. Potential sources of release into surface water include discharge of waste water from disulfoton manufacturing, formulation, and packaging facilities (HSDB 1994). Leaching and runoff from treated fields, pesticide disposal pits, or hazardous waste sites may contaminate both groundwater and surface water with disulfoton. Entry into water can also occur from accidental spills. Small amounts of volatilized disulfoton may be removed from the atmosphere as a result of wet deposition and may enter surface water (Racke 1992). 

The study was conducted to evaluate in situ sedimentation as an abatement procedure. DDT was chosen as the test pesticide since it is a persistent, water-insoluble compound that has created difficult disposal problems and since a contaminated site exists in Alabama where DDT residues estimated to exceed 500 tons have been found in the bottom sediment of a 3-mile stream segment.

The Act was written to cover pesticide use on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses. It does not include applications to pastures, golf courses, parks, livestock, right-of-way, or home gardens, nor does it cover treatments for mosquito abatement and rodent control.

Oil solutions may be used as roadside weed sprays, for marshes and standing pools to control mosquito larvae, in fogging machines for mosquito and fly abatement programs, or for household insect sprays purchased in supermarkets. Commercially they may be sold as oil concentrates of the pesticide to be diluted with kerosene or diesel fuel before application or in the dilute, ready-to-use form. In either case, the compound is dissolved in oil and is applied as an oil spray it contains no emulsifier or wetting agent.

Abate is less toxic in comparison to with most other organophosphorus pesticides. Among the test animals, rats showed almost 10 times greater resistance to this compound than did mice and rabbits. In humans, ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and convulsions. Intake of large amounts can result in respiratory failure.

B. Matrix Incorporation. Matrix incorporation is probably the most common method for the preparation of physically bonded pesticides. Five methods illustrate the wide variety available for the preparation of incorporated aldicarb and dif lubenzuron (Dimilin Both are carbamate insecticides. Selected methods were used for the matrix adsorption of the following organic insecticides Abate, Dursban, malathion, and naled ... 

Poly(vinyl chloride), as a plastisol, was used with Dimilin for incorporation by heating to moderate temperatures to afford mixing. In the earliest work,i the temperature was 150 C and the pesticides successfully incorporated were naled. Abated , Dursban w, and malathion. Later, aldicarb was successfully incorporated.12...
