We started with a large group meeting with Mr. Self. He discussed what Vector textiles is and we were introduced with the question that will need to be answered by the end of this WEP: what are the effects of chemicals, specifically permethrin, on the environment in Sub-Saharan Africa? After the discussion, our group created an outline of what will need to be accomplished each day and we started doing general research of what permethrin is and its effect on the environment, people, and animals.
