Popis: At present, the toxic effect of synthetic insecticides influences great importance in the development of organic alternatives derived from natural oils. Fig oil (castor) is one of the most important products worldwide, due to the many applications that include uses in medicine, cosmetics, inks, soaps, disinfectants, lubricants, varnishes and enamels. The fig tree is historically native to Africa, however it is common in Latin American countries because it is said that I arrive to this continent from the conquest, it is currently in abundance in the state of Coahuila. It has been shown that fig oil contains compounds with insecticidal activity. Therefore, the toxicity of fig oil (Ricinus communis) was evaluated based on the NOM-098-SEMARNAT-2002 standard, Environmental protection-waste incineration, operation specifications and pollutant emission limits.
