Description
An experiment in Potohar area Islamabad environment was conducted for one and a half years to investigate the dissipation and degradation of /sup 14/C-DDT in soil. Binding of /sup 14/C-DDT to the soil increased gradually with the passage of time. The extractable residues decreased in the same period. Results also revealed that /sup 14/C-DDT dissipated more rapidly in this environment as compared to the temperate regions. The overall half-life of DOT was 260 days. (author)
