  • Title: Organochlorine residues in starlings, 1972.
    Author: Nickerson PR, Barbehenn KR.
    Journal: Pestic Monit J; 1975 Mar; 8(4):247-54. PubMed ID: 1161450.
    Abstract:
    During the fall of 1972 starlings were collected from 130 sites in conjunction with the National Pesticide Monitoring Program. They were analyzed for DDT and its metabolites, dieldrin, heptachlor epoxide, benzene hexachloride, polychlorinated biphenyls and, for the first time in the series, oxychlordane and HCB. Mean DDT and dieldrin residue levels have declined significantly since 1967 and a regression analysis suggests that levels of DDT and its metabolites should fall below a mean of 0.1 ppm for the 1974 starling collection.
