1993 + 2015: Blackburn Lake Vic. Pesticides: Trace levels organochlorines, DEET

,
No PCBs and only trace amounts of organochlorine insecticides were detected in the

sediment samples…

While organochlorine insecticides were below the detection limit (0.02 μg/g), there was some indication of trace levels of organochlorines in the yabby samples. However, these were below both NH & MRC Standards and EPA criteria.
