Pesticide Levels in Fish Collected 20 March 1975 from Lake Ladora at Rocky Mountain Arsenal, (TRMS Number 5-CO-523-ECP-005)

Abstract

The levels of pesticides (Aldrin and Dieldrin) measured in flesh (edible portion) of fish caught from Lake Ladora during June 1973 to January 1975 had not exceeded 0.1PPM. During March 1975, six largemouth bass were harvested from Lake Ladora and sent to Dugway for pesticide analysis. The levels of dieldrin in these fish are higher than those previously reported for Lake Ladora and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations are potentially harmful. Monitoring of the aldrin and dieldrin levels in fish from Lake Ladora will continue on a quarterly basis or more frequently if deemed necessary.
