ABSTRACT
Laboratories across the country have been utilizing US EPA methods to analyze select organochlorine, organophosporus and other pesticides for years. With the persistence and potential impacts of these organic constituents in the environment, these analyses using existing methodology will continue to be required. However many of these chemicals are no longer in use and attention also needs to be directed at other pesticide materials currently in use. This presentation will review current pesticides being utilized, their persistence, potential health effects and what, if any, methods are available to assess their potential impacts on human health and the environment.
