The active ingredients used in pesticides are not suitable for utility in their raw unformulated state. Pesticide manufacturers mix in additives such as pesticide emulsifying agents to formulate an utilizable final product. Pesticides emulsifying agents are added to concentrated pesticide formulations to facilitate emulsification with water. When emulsifiable concentrate formulations are applied on plant parts, the solvent and the emulsifying agents evaporate quickly along with water, leaving behind a deposit of toxicants. Some commonly employed emulsifying agents in pesticide formulations are alkaline soaps, sulfates of some long-chain alcohols, organic amines and other materials including carbohydrates, gums, proteins, lipids and alginates.
