Residues from aldrin soil treatments

Decker, Bruce, and Bigger (2) have successfully used first-order kinetics to calculate the long term residues from aldrin soil treatments in 35 locations in Illinois. They found that for this group of soils the values obtained for accumulated residue were bracketed by calculated values based on a fairly rapid loss of 80-90% of the aldrin, a 10-20% conversion of aldrin to dieldrin, and first-order half lives of between 2 and 4 years for the loss of dieldrin. [Pg.133]

Dieldrin [60-57-1] or l,2,3,4,10,10-hexachloro-l,4,4t ,5,8,8t -hexahydro-6,7-epoxy-l,4- <7o, Aro-5,8-dimethanonaphthalene (34) (mp 176°C, vp 0.4 mPa at 20°C) is formed from aldrin by epoxidation with peracetic or perben2oic acids. It is soluble in water to 27 / g/L. Aldrin and dieldrin have had extensive use as soil insecticides and for seed treatments. Dieldrin, which is very persistent, has had wide use to control migratory locusts, as a residual spray to control the Anopheles vectors of malaria, and to control tsetse flies. Because of environmental persistence and propensity for bio accumulation, registrations in the United States were canceled in 1974. [Pg.277]
