Abstract

Degradation of 14C-malathion in stored faba beans were studied after 12 weeks. Data showed that the percentage of penetration and its binding was not dose dependent. Feeding mice with bound residues of malathion in beans for 90 days led to the appearance of toxic effects on blood, liver and kidney functions.
