Description: A helicopter spray trial with Sevin XLR (carbaryl) was conducted on a 14 acre area with dense oak, and other scattered trees. Sevin was applied from two altitudes, 180 and 50 feet above the tree tops. Samples were taken to determine mass deposition, particle sizes, and air concentrations of carbaryl; in the foliage canopy, on open ground, and downwind of the spray area. This trial established that significant mass deposition of carbaryl can be obtained at higher elevations, but only by sacrificing effective coverage and droplet size.

Description: Soil properties and Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) concentrations were measured at two locations with histories of EDB applications. The objective was to explain the presence of EDB residues in a well near one location and the lack of residues in a well near the other location. The soil profile was sampled at each location from the surface to ground water, and ground water samples were collected at the profile base. A combination of statistical analyses (stepwise linear regression and discriminant analyses) was applied to soil data to interpret differences within each location.

Description: Levels of pesticides were determined in ambient air collected at three residential locations within the vicinity of Salinas, California. Levels of all positive samples were in the nanogram per cubic meter range. Eight positive samples were collected during the period from midnight until 12:00 noon, coinciding with the time of the day when pesticides were applied to nearby fieids, and wind speeds were lowest. One positive sample was collected from noon until midnight, the time of day coinciding with low pesticide application activity and higher wind speeds. Based on the levels of residues found, there is no indication of a potential health hazard to individuals in the study area (See Risk Assessment Appendix A).

Description: Data from previous studies conducted by the State Mussel Watch Program (SMW) implied increasing endosulfan residues inmollusks used as indicator organisms of chemical contamination in the Moss Landing Drainage area of Monterey County. As a first step in confirming a chronological trend, studies were conducted by the California Departments of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and Fish and Game (CDFG) to determine within-site variability of endosulfan concentrations, and to estimate sample size necessary for future research. Personnel from the Environmental Hazards Assessment Program (EHAP) of CDFA collected sediment and water samples while personnel from the Pesticide Investigations Unit (PIU) of CDFG collected mollusk and fish samples at the same sites in a coordinated effort. This report contains results from the EHAP study.

Description: The extent of contamination that occurs during soil sampling was examined for the split-barrel, hollow auger method used by the Environmental Hazards Assessment Program, California Department of Food and Agriculture, and for a manual bucket auger method. The study was conducted at Fresno, California on a sandy soil of the Hanford series. Contamination was measured by applying tracer to the surface of soil, immediately followed by sampling to a 10 foot depth in 6-inch segments. The tracer contained bromide which was not found in background samples. Thus, the presence of bromide in samples below the surface layer indicated contamination of samples. Three 6-inch samples were taken at one time with the split-barrel method whereas single 6-inch samples were obtained with the hand auger.

Description: A well sampling survey was conducted to determine the presence of fenamiphos, fenamiphos sulfoxide, and fenamiphos sulfone in ground water. Wells were sampled in areas where use of fenamiphos coincided with areas of previous contamination by other pesticides, This was possible because fenamiphos is a restricted use pesticide so a spatial record of use was available and the CDFA’s Well Inventory Data Base contains spatial locations of historical pesticide detections in well water. Twenty-four wells were sampled in 16 sections in Fresno County, 12 wells were sampled in 8 sections in San Joaquin County and 5 wells were sampled in 3 sections in Kern County. No residues of fenamiphos or its sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites were detected in any of the samples.

The first phase of the study was planned to determine the feasibility of monitoring the three compounds during a routine pest eradication program. Once the feasibility of monitoring the three compounds was shown, the second-phase was planned to measure ambient air concentrations of the compounds during a fruit fly eradication. The third-phase was planned to determine if residues of methyl eugenol, naled, and DDVP were present in edible portions of fruit growing near fruit fly traps

Description: The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) conducted an eradication program for gypsy moth in spring, 1990 which treated two small areas with the insecticide diflubenzuron. CDFA’s Environmental Hazards Assessment Program (EHAP) collected foliage, air, water, and tank mix samples to monitor environmental concentrations of diflubenzuron resulting from these treatments. Both the eradication and monitoring programs were similar to those conducted for the Gypsy Moth program in Los Angeles County in 1987. The objective this year was to monitor applications and compare results with those found in 1987, not to provide a detailed characterization of diflubenzuron degradation.
