Food Crops May Store Up Soil Insecticides
MadisonWisconsin entomologist warns that certain crops can absorb soil insecticides into edible parts. Tolerances set by federal officials are very low for aldrin and dieldrin and higher for lindane and DDT. Carrots concentrate lindane in roots and may reach three to ten times soil levels. Continuous heavy use can build up in soil, risking residues above legal limits at harvest. Further study aims to balance safety with insecticide effectiveness.
