'' esearch^ PESTICIDE RESIDUE AMD TRACE CONTAMINANT ANALYSIS O'UV'M* LCAKT M4 In 1964 the Foundation established o Pesticide Residue Anolysis laboratory for the measurement and monitoring of organochlorine pesticide residues in Canadian wild life. The scope of the laboratory hat con tinually expanded since that time and now encompasses analysis of many other types of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and residues of other industrial chemicals found in air, water, foods, soils, packaging, and con sumer products. More recently, with the growing concern over the presence of heavy metals In the environment, facilities have been expanded to include analy tical services for troces of mercury, lead, cadmium, and special fan* f 1km, 'mk m mifMtmikMtet SUfrif w. < .Vi, This laboratory has provided e much needed service In Canada, and Is also active Internationally. It Is the official Canadian representative for OECD programs dealing with uninten tional residues In the environment. To ensure the highest possible standards of accuracy, the laboratory participates regularly In International as well as notional check sampling programs. The following is a list of typical analytical services offered. 1 sv; i ,***l J k dT * ; ;e p s *V Orgonochlorlne Pesticides Heptaehlor, aldrln, heptochlor epoxide, p,p-DDE, dieldrin, p,p-TDE, o,p-ODT, p,p-DDT,methcxychlor, endrln, technical and gamma ehlordane, Kelthone, endosulfon, mtrex, TedIon, HCB, a -BMC, 0 -BHC, Y -BHC (Un- done), etc. Organephoyhate Pesticides ^ ________ Tracer Chromatograph Diaz (non, porathion, methyl parathion, molathion, ethion, fenitrothion (Sumithion), fcnsuifothion (Dosanft), dursban, etc. Herbicides (2,4-0), (2,4,5-T), (2,4,5-TP), MCPA, plcloram, otrazine and other trlasines, chlorinated phenols such as PCP, etc. Polychlorlnotcd Biphenyls (PCBs) ond Polychlorlnoted Terphenyls (PCTs) These are classes of Industrial chemicals which, while not used as pesticides, possess many of the charac teristics of the chlorinated pesticides - they are widely distributed, persistent, ond physiologically active, and hence present a similar threat ecologically.
