Abstract

PESTAB. A review of analysis and monitoring techniques and control methods for pesticide residues in manufacturing plant wastes is presented. Effluents from pesticide plants may be broadly classified as organophosphates, organochlorines, carbamates, phenoxy acids and their related compounds, and inorganics. Gas and liquid chromatographic methods and IR spectral analysis of liquid and gaseous plant emissions are recommended for the monitoring of pesticidal wastes. The physical, biological and chemical procedures available for the treatment of pesticide-containing effluents are discussed. Activated carbon treatment for aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, DDT and toxaphene residues in waste waters has been employed. Incineration is sometimes useful in removing atmospheric pollutants and in the destruction of solid pesticide wastes. Some biological detoxification techniques using microbial degradation of pesticides are considered. Disposal methods for solid waste pesticides and their containers usually employ incineration techniques. Some safety recommendations are made for plants engaged in treatment of pesticidal wastes.
