Organochlorine compounds can'b.e detected in soil long after their initial application, for examplex heptachlor and hexachlo- are detected after 9-11 years. Trace:amounts were:Iour-d in the lower soil horizons 9-18 months after their initial application, pointing to the possible migraLion of pesticides via rainwater from upper layers to deeper .layers, and their possible entrainment in ground vater -AiichTis a source of potable water supplies. Soil composition and structure are important in the accumulation of toxic chemicals in rhizomes. For example, the greatest amount of lindane is detected in carrots grouni on sandy loam, and the least -- in carrots grown on chernozem soil, though five times more toxic chemicals were applied in the latter case. . From our data, potatoes grown in different soils acquired disagreeable organoleptic properties when carbathion was applied in several caaes.~and adversely affected ex- perimental wAmals. I?
