Abstrakt: The persistence and biological impact of the organophosphorus insecticides, Abate®, Reldan®, and Dursban®, were studied following the application of 10 ppb to a series of artificial polyethylene-lined ponds and a single natural pond inoculated with leaf litter. Disappearance of the insecticides from water could be described in terms of two phases: early posttreatment, in which rapid partitioning took place; and, a variable time period, characterized by slowly decreasing residues. Of the three pesticides, Dursban was the most persistent followed by Reldan and Abate in that order.
