Abstract
Further work has been carried out on the depletion of aldrin, dieldrin and Ξ³βBHC from sheepβdipping baths under field conditions. The analytical procedure used for the determination of aldrin has been modified.
Replenishment procedures have been varied in an endeavour to maintain a more uniform dip throughout a trial, and a study has been made of the change in physical behaviour of the dip with the passage of large numbers of sheep and of the eventual stabilisation of insecticide concentration.
A reason for this stabilisation of concentration is suggested.
