The sorption of 2,4,5-T, by LDPE plastic containers.  P. Hopmans.  July 1975.  5 pp. (unpubl.)

SUMMARY

1. The sorption of 2,4,5-T (butyl ester) by low density polyethylene plastic may reach as much as 90% of the initial amount of herbicide after one hour contact time.
2. The sorption of 2,4,5-T (butyl ester) by pyrex glass appeared to be relatively small and independent of the contact time.
3. Polyethylene bottles are unsuitable containers for monitoring of 2,4,5-T residue levels in stream water. Glass containers seem to be quite suitable although some 2,4,5-T maybe lost through sorption.
