Substances other than enzymes can be immobilized. Examples include the fixing of heparin on polytetrafluoroethylene with the aid of PEI (424), the controUed release of pesticides which are bound to PEI (425), and the inhibition of herbicide suspensions by addition of PEI (426). The uptake of anionic dyes by fabric or paper is improved if the paper is first catonized with PEI (427). In addition, PEI is able to absorb odorizing substances such as fatty acids and aldehydes. Because of its high molecular weight, PEI can be used in cosmetics and body care products, as weU as in industrial elimination of odors, such as the improvement of ambient air quaHty in sewage treatment plants (428).

Extraction of residues from soil samples is much more difficult than their extraction from plant or water samples. The pesticide residues in the soil exist often in several forms as bound residue , which may affect the extraction efficiency of pesticides from the soil. Then, various extraction methods such as organic solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction, sonication extraction, microwave dissolution and supercritical fluid extraction (SEE) are used. Some extraction methods are described in the following. 

The first application of immunologically based technology to pesticides was not reported until 1970, when Centeno and Johnson developed antibodies that selectively bound malathion. A few years later, radioimmunoassays were developed for aldrin and dieldrin and for parathion. In 1972, Engvall and Perlman introduced the use of enzymes as labels for immunoassay and launched the term enzyme-linked... 

The difference between the concentration in the ultra-filtered water and the concentration inside the ultrafiltration cell is therefore a measure of the bound concentration. Griffin and Chian7-7-, Hassett 7-, and Diachenko have used volatilization measurements to determine the extent of binding of pesticides and pollutants to dissolved humic materials. In these experiments either the rate of gas stripping of a compound or its equilibrium vapor pressure is measured in the presence and absence of humic materials. The results obtained can be manipulated in such a way to determine the percentage of the pollutant bound. 

Woolson et al. (1971) used a modified soil P procedure to study distribution of As in U.S. soils. The mass of the residual As in both uncontaminated and soils contaminated with arsenic pesticides from Washington and Oregon is found as the Fe oxide bound As (0.1 N NaOH extractable), followed by the Al oxide and the Ca bound As (extracted by NH4F and H2S04, respectively).

Particle phase reactions of pesticides in the atmosphere is are an area of great uncertainty [Atkinson et al (1999)], and no direct conclusions about possible impacts can be drawn from just the fact that they are not resolved in the model. High particle bound mass fractions are predicted in high latitudes (>80 %) in winter. Thus, degradation in air, as it is assumed to be limited to the gaseous phase, is reduced. An additional degradation process in the particle phase is assumed to reduce concentrations in the Arctic, consequently. On the other hand lifetimes of particle-bound DDT is limited by deposition, much more than in the gas-phase. 

The specific mechanism by which chlordecone is transferred from the gut, lungs, or skin to the blood is not known. However, the preferential distribution of chlordecone to the liver rather than the fat tissues suggests that it may be transported in the plasma differently from other organochlorine compounds (Soine et al. 1982). In vitro and in vivo studies of human, rat, and pig plasma showed that chlordecone is preferentially bound by albumin and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), which may explain its tissue distribution. Other organochlorine pesticides such as aldrin and dieldrin bind to very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and distribute preferentially to fat (Soine et al. 1982).
