USA: Insect-Repellent Apparel Wins EPA Approval
Clothing firm Buzz Off Insect Shield LLC has revealed the US Environmental Protection Agency has registered insect-repellent apparel as a defence in the battle against mosquitoes, ticks and other insects. The firm now plans to launch the new line, which features permethrin and is made through a process that tightly binds repellent to the garment, in the US before the end of this year.
