Abstract

In recent years, considerable national attention has focused on the use of chemicals by the agriculture sector. Recent descriptive analyses have addressed the problem.of attempting to determine, or to describe, some of the social “costs†of chemicals used in agriculture which later move to non-agricultural areas. The primary effect of the attention on chemical use in agriculture has been legislative action relative to specific pesticides such as DDT and 2,4,5-T. These actions have made national news along with reports of measured residues of these pesticides in wildlife, fish and other forms of foodstuffs.
