  • Title: An eleven-year study of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide residues in bovine fat in Illinois, 1972-1982.
    Author: Steffey KL, Reynolds JD, Petty HB.
    Journal: J Environ Sci Health B; 1984; 19(8-9):773-83. PubMed ID: 6520341.
    Abstract:
    Bovine fat samples in Illinois were monitored for residues of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides from 1972 through 1982. The percentage of fat samples that were contaminated with all chlorinated hydrocarbons decreased during the 11-year study. The percentage of samples contaminated with DDT and its analogs decreased most markedly from 82.4% in 1972 to 2.1% in 1982. The percentage of samples contaminated with aldrin/dieldrin and heptachlor/heptachlor epoxide began to decline in 1980 and continued to decrease through 1982.
