| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the effects of bifenthrin (a member of the pyrethroid family of insecticides that is commonly used in yard and garden insecticides) on aquatic life in suburban streams. States that calculations done by the University of California show that "bifenthrin levels in sediments in the suburban streams they studied were up to fifteen times greater than the levels found in streams flowing through intensive agricultural areas." Also states that "the runoff from a single lawn application of 'Ortho Bug-B-Gon' would make about a ton of stream sediments toxic to aquatic animals." |
