“…We have presented here the results of an extensive ground water monitoring program for aldicarb and its oxidative metabolites aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone. Although these materials have been detected in shallow ground water and in surface water in Florida (Foran, et al, 1986), they were not detected in any of the community drinking water supplies sampled during this study. This includes supplies located in counties classified as highly susceptible to ground water contamination by Temik.…”

Over 700 community drinking water supplies were sampled for the pesticide Temik (aldicarb and its oxidative metabolites aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone) in Florida. All community supply wells sampled for Temik were located in counties where Temik was reported to have been used and approximately one‐half of the wells were located in counties where ground water was determined to be highly susceptible to contamination by Temik. Susceptibility was determined using ranking criteria that incorporated ground water recharge characteristics, water use, and Temik use patterns. Temik was not detected in any of the community supply wells sampled during the study. However, Temik was detected in shallow, private wells, as was the pesticide ethylene dibromide in counties with ground water characterized as highly susceptible to contamination.

“…All samples were collected from community water supplies using techniques described in Foran, et al (1986), and Miller, et al (1985). An extensive quality assurance/quality control program was conducted during the study and is described in Miller, et al (1985).…”
