Pesticide Special Investigation Guidelines, Biological and Environmental Sampling and Evaluation in the Investigation of Alleged Pesticide Incidents.
Abstract
These guidelines contain sample collection procedures, sample container preparation and shipment procedures, a listing of pertinent information to be supplied with samples, and medical guidelines if humans are involved. A listing of previous environmental incidents involving pesticides is also included. A study of previous incidents indicated the major problem in evaluating the data derived from environmental samples were inadequate background information. A sample data sheet is therefore being included with these guidelines to assist in obtaining all information pertinent to the incident. The revised guidelines, with inclosed sample data sheet, will hopefully improve background information received with the samples and the integrity of the environmental samples. (Author)
