Migration of cypermethrin to and through the PET containers and artificial neural network-based estimation of its emission.

Nowadays, the extensive use of pesticides in crops production puts a significant challenge to minimize its side effects along with safe production, storage, and after-use treatment. This paper reports results related to the emission of certain pesticide formulations through the PET containers, as well as, their mitigation to the PET containers during their storage. The influence of storage time on cypermethrin migration to and through the PET was studied in short-term Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council test lasting up to 30 days.
