Abstract
PESTICIDE residues in man and his diet have sometimes aroused considerable uneasiness and have been much investigated. A number of systematic surveys of DDT-type compounds and HEOD (the major constituent of technical dieldrin) in human adipose tissue have been carried out in the United States1–8. Residues of human fat have been investigated in Great Britain9–11, and other, less systematic, surveys of residues of organochlorine insecticides in the body fat of the general population have been carried out in a number of countries12–19.
