Popis: Results are reported for the determination of drin-pesticides in 132 samples of the nine kinds of vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, cabbages, chinese cabbages and lettuces which were purchased at markets in Tokyo, Osaka and Kochi during the period from June to August, 1970.There are two findings presented by this result. First, 46 of 85 samples of cucumbers, potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots were contaminated by dieldrin and/or endrin of above 0.01ppm, and the maximum found in dieldrin was 0.29ppm and that in endrin was 0.55ppm. Second, it is suspected that these contamination of most vegetables by dieldrin resulted from soils contaminated by aldrin. Translocation of pesticide into cucumbers grown in soils containing dieldrin is also discussed.
