Abstract/Contents:Discusses an experiment developed at Rutgers University to determine whether yard trimmings compost needed to have routine testing to evaluate pesticide contamination. The results showed that compost from six composting facilities contained no pesticide residue except for traces of chlordane. Suggests that since chlordane is no longer approved for use in the U.S. as of 1988, the material came from the surrounding soil and not from yard trimmings.
