Prior to treatment, liquefied wastes are passed through an ultrasonic mixer that emulsifies immiscible organic compounds.

Emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and granule (GR) formulations were known to be very toxic to fish and aquatic organisms.

Emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and granule (GR) formulations were known to be very toxic to fish and aquatic organisms.

Prior to treatment, liquefied wastes are passed through an ultrasonic mixer which emulsifies immiscible organics (UNEP 2004a).

Toxaphene formulations included wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dusts, granules, baits, oils, and emulsions (IARC, 1979; ATSDR, 1996).

With regard to methyl parathion (emulsifiable concentrates EC with 19.5%, 40%, 50% and 60% active ingredient and dusts containing 1.5%, 2% and 3% active ingredient):

Because of their high degree of physical-chemical stability and zero toxicity, CFCs have been used as liquid refrigerants, insulators, emulsifiers, extinguishing agents, and spray propellants.

The entry includes all formulations of parathion: aerosols, dustable powder (DP), emulsifiable concentrate (EC), granules (GR) and wettable powders (WP), except capsule suspensions (CP).

All formulations - aerosols, dustable powders (DP), emulsifiable concentrate (EC), granules (GR) and wettable powders (WP) - of this substance are included, except capsule suspensions (CS)

That the entry in Annex III for methyl parathion (emulsifiable concentrates EC with 19.5%, 40%, 50% and 60% active ingredient and dusts containing 1.5%, 2% and 3% active ingredient) be amended to read “Methyl parathion (emulsifiable concentrates (EC) at or above 19.5% active ingredient and dusts (D) at or above 1.5% active ingredient)”;
