A study of samples of well water collected from selected areas in California to determine the presence of DBCP and certain other pesticide residues

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Conclusions

The precise mechanism whereby DBCP residues contaminate water supplies is not known. It is, therefore, unlikely that DBCP can be kept out of ground water supplies if current application technology is followed. For this reason, and considering the widespread nature of contamination of well water, it is not likely that further agricultural use of DBCP should be authorized.
