Abstract:

The use of a simple trapping arrangement makes possible the selective recovery of expired C¹⁴O₂, and of radio labeled, volatile organic compounds from house flies, Musca domestica L., injected with C¹⁴-Iabeled insecticide chemicals and synergists. From experiments using this approach, it is known that the following products are given off by living house flies receiving the indicated, respective chemical: acetone-C¹⁴ from o-isoprop-C¹⁴-oxyphenyl methylcarbamate (Baygon®); C¹⁴O₂. and the unmodified chemical from methylene-.C¹⁴-dioxyphenyl-labeled samples of Dihydrosafrole, myristicin, and safrole. Thus. the assumption that C¹⁴O₂ is the. only labeled material volatilizing from insects treated with simple C¹⁴-labeled organic compounds is not always valid.
