PrefaceThat residues of pesticides and other "foreign" chemicals in foodsttrlfs are of concern to everyone everywhere is attested by the reception accorded earlier volumes of "Residue Reviews", and by the gratifying enthusiasm, sincerity, and efforts shown by the individuals I have asked to prepare manuscripts. Many manuscripts on residue a;ffairs are in preparation, but the field is so large and the non-polemical interests in it so varied that the editor and the Advisory Board will welcome suggestions for topics considered suitable and timely for review in this international book-series. There can be no serious question that pesticide and food-additive chemicals are essential to adequate food production, manufacture, marketing, and storage, yet without continuing surveillance and intelligent control some of those that persist could at times conceivably endanger the public health.The object of "Residue Reviews" is to provide concise, critical reviews of timely advances, philosophy, and significant areas of accomplished or needed endeavor in the total field of residues of these chemicals in foods, in feeds, and in transformed food products. These reviews are either general or specific, but properly they may lie in the domains of analytical chemistry and its methodology, biochemistry, human and animal medicine, legislation, pharmacology, physiology, regulation, and toxicology; certain affairs in the realm of food technology that are concerned specifically with pesticide and other food-additive problems are also appropriate subject matter. The justification for the preparation of any review for this book-series is that it deals with some aspect of the many real problems arising from the presence of residues of foreign chemicals in foodstuffs.Material for "Residue Reviews" encompasses those matters, in any country, which are involved in allowing pesticide and other plant-protecting chemicals to be used safely in producing, storing, and shipping crops. Added plant or animal pest-control chemicals or their metabolites that may persist into meat and other edible animal products (milk and milk products, eggs, etc.) are also residues and are within this scope. The so-called food additives (suhstances deliberately added to foods for flavor, odor, appearance, etc., as weIl as those inadvertently added durin...

“…When the insecticides applied to the soil at rates of 1 pound DDT, 0.45 pound BHC isomer, 0.375 pound guthion per 1/10 acre for 6 successive years, no apparent effect on the growth of cotton was noticed (ROBERTS et al 1962). Results by ROTH (1959) indicated that seed treatment of alfalfa with systemic insecticides (thimet, di~syston and lindane) did not affect germination in field plots but caused some phytotoxic effect in laboratory tests.…”

“…E DWARDS (2) gives a comprehensive review of the factors affecting the persistence of insecticides in soils. Numerous studies have shown that DDT may persist in soils for periods up to, or beyond, 10 years (10,16,20). In contrast to these observations, Mulla (13) and Lahser and Applegate (9) found that DDT is lost very rapidly from desert soils where high soil temperatures prevail for extended periods of time.…”

The effect of temperature and ultraviolet (uv) radiation on the persistence of methyl parathion (o,o‐dimethylo, p‐nitrophenyl phosphorothionate) and DDT [2,2 bis(pchlorophenyl)‐l,l,l‐trichloroethane] in soils was studied using controlled environmental conditions. Biologically effective uv radiation (300 to 400 nm) was used. Three alkaline soil types were used in the study: Houston Black clay, Pima silty clay, and Pinal gravelly loam. Soils in petri dishes were treated with a mixture of methyl parathion and DDT at 5, 20, or 1,000 µg/g. The 5 and 20 µg/g treatments were used to quantitate the amount of pesticide remaining in the soils at periodic intervals. The 1,000 #g/g treatment was used for qualitative studies of breakdown products. Standard samples of pesticides were irradiated with uv radiation for qualitative studies. The results indicated that both temperature and uv radiation accelerated the loss of pesticides from soils. Temperature appeared to play a more important role in the loss of DDT than in methyl parathion. At each temperature (30 and 50 C) the addition of uv radiation accelerated the loss of both methyl parathion and DDT. There was a 29% or greater loss of DDT (depending upon the soil type), above that observed in the 50 treatment not receiving uv radiation. The only identifiable breakdown product of DDT in the soil extracts was DDE [2,2 bis(p‐chlorophenyl)‐l,1‐ dichloroethylene]. There were no breakdown products for methyl parathion in the soil extracts. The breakdown products from the irradiated standard samples of DDT and DDE were numerous. For DDT they included DDE, DDD [2,2 bis (p‐chlorophenyl)‐l,l‐dichloroethane], DBP (4,4'‐dichlorobenzophenone), and DDMU [1‐chloro‐ 2,2‐bis(p‐chlorophenyl)ethylene]. The oxon derivative methyl parathion. At each temperature (30 and 50 C) the addition of uv radiation accelerated the loss of both methyl parathion and DDT.

The oxon derivative of methyl parathion was tentatively identified as a break‐down product of methyl parathion.
