Pesticide levels in hay and soils from nine states, 1971
Abstract:
In 1971 hay and soil samples were collected in 9 States to determine the incidence and levels of pesticide residues in hayfields. Residues were detected in 8 percent of the soil samples and 29 percent of the hay samples. DDT and its metabolites, DDE and TDE, were contained in 2 soil samples and 21 hay samples. Heptachlor epoxide and chlordane were detected in 1 soil sample, dieldrin in 5 soil samples, and diazinon in 4 hay samples.
