Abstract

The source, form, and fate of DDT residues in the environment are reviewed. Discussion is primarily from a New Zealand perspective, where a major use of DDT was the control of soil‐dwelling pasture pests. Reasons for the persistence of DDT residues, the association between residues and soil components, and possible degradative and non‐degradative losses from soils are discussed.
