Abstract:

Results of the calendar year 1976 Department of the Army Pesticide Monitoring Program are presented. Significant findings and conclusions are as follows a Untransformed data should not be relied upon in making statistical comparisons of environmental pesticide residues. b The stratified sampling design is adequate to provide an environmental pesticide profile of an installation. c Significant differences observed in CY 75 soil data were again evident in CY 76 data. d Significant differences observed in CY 75 sediment data were not observed in CY 76 data. e Fish exhibit a greater diversity of pesticide residues than corresponding sediment. f Statistically significant interactions among the various components were noted with regard to quantitative data. g Two years data did not indicate any significant general trends or patterns in pesticide residues.
