Tests were conducted using radiolabeled Deet (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), DDT (1, 1, 1-trichloro-2, 2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)enthane), aldrin (1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 10-hexachloro-1, 4, 4a, 5, 8, 8a-hexahydro-1, 4-endo-exo4, 8-dimethanonaphthalene) and Thanite (isobornyl thiocyanoacetate) to determine the distribution of these compounds from a treated stocking onto a protective nylon stocking or a filter paper substrate (representing the human arm) beneath the protective stocking. With DDT, aldrin and Thanite, about 0.01% (0.1 mg) of the total dose was recovered from the filter paper substrate. With Deet, approximately 8 times that amount (0.8 mg) was recovered from the filter paper substrate. Amounts of residues found on the protective stocking were 2 to 5 times the amount found on the filter paper with all compounds, except Deet where less was found than on the filter paper.
