| Abstract |
In order to investigate methods suitable for field disposal of small quantities of excess DDT on farms and orchards, the degradation of DDT buried with various concentrations of powdered zinc and a mild acid was followed. Powdered zinc mixed with DDT, acetone, and acetic acid led to the formation of DDD and DDMS, which are environmentally less objectionable than DDT or DDE. |
