Abstract: Practical experience with pesticides shows that soil suffers the
severest contamination. 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.

Abstract: Two methods were considered for the preparation of magnesium-lithium
alloys. One method required the use. of a protective flux conzisting of molten
lithium chloride and lithitzi fluoride. It was umacce~table I,Dcause of many
difficulties encountered during the work. The Docond method uses argon as
a protective atmospbere in a 500-kg crucible equippel with a cover. Tho
charge elementu are added in the following nequencet 4t first, a small 0
emomt of magnesium ingot vith 'is aeltod In the crucible mt 700
for 4-5 hr, then a high-purity mWeslua ingot itith not morii than 0.005% Na
is added at the same teaporatuxo, folloOd by aliminuni, zinot cadnium, and
lithi=g In that order. The alloy was aixad,f or:- 5-15. min aftor the addition
of. each alloying element. All metals were added, as ingots In order to
eliminate impurities, especially Ra.. Uthlum,ingots w.ere irtuffied in kerosene
at fi= t, wiped up, and di-led in air before being p] aced into the
crucible. The whole production pv%cejs~took:9-10 hr,t The p
