Abstract
Soil samples having received heavy applications of DDT, toxaphene, dieldrin and BHC were bioassayed for residues. Extracts were obtained from 0 to 3 and 3 to 6 inch levels by use of a 4: 1 solution of hexane and acetone. A photomigration technique, employing the use of mosquito larvae, was followed for making the analyses. A comparison is made of the amounts of residues of the insecticides recovered.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
