Contribution of Chemical industry for
Adaptation (Examples)
1. Water Supply
 Desalination of sea water (membrane) Materials for irrigation

2. Prevention of infectious diseases
 LLIN (Olyset Net, Olyset Plus) Vector Control Chemicals

3. Food Draught resistant plants/Chemicals

1. Prevention of infectious diseases
 Integrated Vector Management
 LLIN (Olyset Net, Olyset Plus) Vector Control Chemicals

2. Food Microbial Agricultural Materials

6Olyset™ Net

In contrast to previous polyester mosquito nets, Olyset™ Net is made frompolyethylene, with thicker, more durable fibers.

Olyset™ Net retains insecticidal efficacy for over five years even withrepeated washings because the insecticide migrates to the surface of thefibers gradually through controlled release technology.
