Contents Notes | "The use of pesticides has become a routine practice in modern agriculture. While these compounds have great advantages in the control of predatory insects, they represent a possible danger to the aquatic environment when present in even trace concentrations. [...] The Analytical Quality Control Laboratory, assisted by FWPCA scientists experienced in the determination of pesticides, has prepared [this] method for chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides. In the opinion of the AQC Laboratory, this method is the best available procedure at this time. [...] This method has been adopted at the FWPCA Method for Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Pesticides and should be used by all Administration laboratories in acquiring data on the concentration of these materials in waters and wastewaters sampled by FWPCA."--Preface. |
