Pesticide Monitoring Guidelines, Department of the Army Pesticide Monitoring Program (Effective 1 April 1978).
Abstract
These guidelines contain sample stratification designs, sample collection procedures, sample container preparation and shipment procedures, and information for coding computer analysis report forms. A list of environmental components that will be sampled yearly at US Army installations for pesticide residue examinations under the Department of the Army Pesticide Monitoring Program (DAPMP) is included. Evaluation of residue data from CY 1975 as well as other factors have necessitated several changes to the DAPMP. The number of US Army installations in the Program has been reduced from 33 to 12 which will represent most of the geographical regions of the continental US. Range/training, agricultural, grazing, and forest land stratifications have been eliminated because they contribute little to the overall soil pesticide profile. Residential and cantonment areas have been consolidated because there is little or no difference in their soil pesticide profile according to statistical analysis. Statistical analysis of residue data from the fish families Centrarchidae (top feeding group) and Ictaluridae (bottom feeding group) showed little difference between the two.
