Compartmentalization of /sup 14/C-DDT in an experimental old-field plot

Of the 2.81 x 10/sup 6/ ug DDT applied to the plot in June 1976, 2.58 x 10/sup 6/ ug (91.8%) were accounted for as of June 1977. Silk screens, ethylene glycol air samples, and run-off contained 40.57 x 10/sup -3/%, 0.09 x 10/sup -3/%, and 1.18 x 10/sup -3/%, respectively of the DDT applied. Soil was the major sink for DDT in this study, with 91.8% of the applied DDT located there. Most of the remaining 8.2% was probably lost during the formulation and application of the /sup 14/C-DDT granules, some were probably lost in organisms (mainly flying insects) leaving the plot, and some were accounted for by experimental error and error in the counting technique.
