Degradation of malathion in thermally generated aerosols.
The degradation of malathion, undiluted and diluted with No. 2 fuel oil, in thermally generated aerosol clouds was examined at selected temperatures ranging from 121 to 566 degrees C. Undiluted malathion residues decreased from 1.76 to 0.21 micrograms/ml over this range of temperatures. Malathion diluted with fuel oil decreased from 0.14 to 0.02 microgram/ml as the temperature was increased 288 to 510 degrees C.
