Persistence of indoor permethrin and estimation of dermal and non-dietary exposure

Lia Emi Nakagawa et al. J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol. 2020 May.

Abstract

Pesticides applied indoors may persist longer than they would in outdoor environments, making people more vulnerable to the risk of exposure. Permethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide used in agricultural, residential, and public health sites, and is commonly detected in indoor environments. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the persistence of permethrin indoors and to estimate the levels of possible dermal and non-dietary exposure to this insecticide. Permethrin was applied on aluminum foil and kept in a glass chamber and a test house for 112 days; its concentration was measured at application and after 28, 56, and 112 days. Permethrin persisted for the entire 112 days in concentrations equal to a maximum of 89.6% of the initial concentration. We observed low levels of human dermal and non-dietary exposure to permethrin.

Keywords: Endocrine disruptors; Indoor pesticide exposure; Indoor pesticide level; Pesticide residue; Pyrethroids.
