Scientific paper

IN recent years there has been some public concern regarding the extent to which pesticide residues are found in wild-life. The existence of environmental contamination by pesticides in Britain has been recognized by the Advisory Committee on Pesticides and Other Toxic Chemicals1. The Crop Husbandry and Crop Protection Department of the Agricultural Institute, as part of its programme, has been keeping this problem under review. Accordingly, an investigation of the occurrence and distribution of residues of organic mercury and the organic chlorine insecticides, lindane (γ-BHC), aldrin, dieldrin and pp'-DDT, in the Irish environment was undertaken. Because of the maritime nature of the country and its position on the western edge of Europe, the findings should be of particular interest.
