INTRODUCTION
Of an estimated 80,000 species of insects in North America, 10,000
are noxious species of more than casual consequence. Their annual
depradation in terms of human health, crop loss and other economic
damage has been estimated, for the United States alone, to exceed
two bLilion dollars (Negherbon, 1969).
To combat these pests a variety of economic poisons have been
developed, made economically feasible and designed and perfected
for more specific action. Since the widespread usage of pesticides
began in the 1940s, along with improved agricultural methodology,
agricultural commodity production has reached proportions undreamed
of 50 years ago.
However, the freshwater ecosystem, that community, including
all the component organisms, together with the environment, which
forms an interacting system, has received considerable abuse from
the use of pesticides. Pesticide caused fish kills are common
occurrences (Thoman and Nicholson, 1963; Reymonds, .1972), sediment
residues are high (Holden, 1965),. and surface water contamination
exceeded toxic levels (Hinden, et al. 1972; Sparr, et al. 1965).
In recent years, largely at the prodding of various environmentalist
groups and governmental agencies, changes have taken place to reduce
the pesticide contamination of the freshwater ecosystem including
1
-------
(1) use of shorter-lived, more readily degradable organophosphate,
carbamate and herbicide compounds, and (2) significant changes in
pesticide usage patterns that lessen the likelihood a pesticide
reaching a watercourse.
In the following sections an attempt will be made to evaluate
the status df pesticides in the United States in relation to the
freshwater ecosystem.

PESTICIDE USAGE
Data showing the quantities of pesticides used in the United
States are limited. Figures on production, sales, imports, and exports
shown in following tables give some indication of usage, but they
do not account for changes in inventories.
The calculated domestic disappearance.Y at the producers level
for a number of years is given for several pesticides (Table 1). DDT
disappearance continued its general decline of recent years; down more
than 28 percent from 1970 and amounting to less than onefourth the
disappearance in the peak year of 1959. Calcium arsenate and lead
arsenate, together, were down almost onefourth from the previous
year. Among those chemicals for which disappearance data are
available, the sharpest decline in 1971 was made by 2,4,5T. Disappear-
ance for it was down more than 70 percent following a sharp rise
the previous year. Disappearance of 2,4D declined nearly onethird..
However, the aidrintoxaphene group increased sharply, more than 36
percent.
The Census of Agriculture of 1969 includes some information on
controlling insects, nematodes, fungi, and weeds. According to the
census, about 143.1 million acres were treated for pest control In
1969. Near]y 63 percent of this acreage was treated for weed control
and more than 29 percent was treated for insect control. Data are

production.

not available to show the ratios of usage for the several types of
compounds available, however.
Applicators in Illinois treated more acreage for weed control
than any other state, followed by Iowa and Texas. California,
Pennsylvania and Ohio led in the treatment of hay for insect control.
Illinois, Texas and Iowa were the leaders in treatment of crops, other
than hay, for this purpose. Texas and Iowa spent the most money to
treat livestock for insect control. California and North Carolina
treated the largest acreage to control nematodes. Florida, California
and Texas led in acreage treated for fungus control; Texas and Kansas
for weed control in hay; and Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota and Minnesota
for weed control in crops, other than hay. Texas, Mississippi, California
and Arkansas led in acreage of crops defoliated. Illinois treated
a total of more than 14 million acres, Texas over 13 million, and
Iowa nearly 12 million acres for pest control. The average cost
for controlling nematodes was $13.68 per acre; for fungus control,
$13.41; for insect control in crops, other than hay, $7.45; for
weed control in crops other than pasture, $4.07; for defoliation,
$4.00; for insect control in hay, $3.96; and for weed control in pasture,
$1.95.

PESTICIDE
PRODUCTION, SALES AND TRADE
Production and Sales . Production and sales of synthetic organic
pesticides increased in 1971 following declines in 1969 and 1970. Before
the two declining years, there were gains each year from 1957 through 1968.,
Production in 1971 was $1,135.7 million, up 9.8 percent from 1970,
recovering much of the losses sustained during the previous two years.
However, production was still down 4.8 percent fromthe record year
of 1968. The value of production was $1,282.6 million, up more than 21
percent from 1970 and the highest on record. The volume of producer
sales was $946.3 million, up 7.4 percent to only 1.4 percent less
than the record year of 1968. The value of these sales, also a new
record, was $979.1 million, up more than 12 percent from the previous
year.
Production and sales figures are detailed in Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Quantities in Table 2, which represent only organic pesticides,
include some unavoidable duplication. However, this duplication is
shown in parentheses in Table 3, and some figures for inorganic pesti-
cides are included.
The Annual Survey of Manufacturers indicates that the value of
manufacturer shipments of all pesticides and related chemicals in 1970
(latest year for which these data are available), was $1,383.6 million,
down about 0.5 percent from 1969, which in turn was down about 1 percent
5
-------
from the record year of 196& Shipments of technical materials, however,
were $334.8 million, up nearly 12 percent from the previous year and
the highest on record. Those for pesticide preparations intended for
agricultural purposes decreased 3.8 percent to $914.9 million.

PESTICIDES IN SURFACE WATERS
Pesticides are known to reach surface waters by a variety of
routes. They may be applied to water to control pests such as mosquitos
(Weidhass et al, 1960), blackf lies (Arnason, 1971) or midges (Edwards
et al, 1966); they may fall on water accidentally when applied as
aerial treatments to control forest pests (Ide, 1975; Gorhani, 1961),
or agricultural pests (Moye and Luckmann, 1964); they may reach water
by subsurface runoff from soil(Young and Nicholson, 1961) or from
irrigation return flows (FWPCA, 1968), they may be discharged with
sewage effluents (Holden and Marsden, 1966) or industrial effluents
(Nicholson, 1967) or they may be carried from the atmosphere by
rainfall (Tarrant and Taffon, 1968).
It remains difficult to assess the relative importance of sources
of insecticide residues found in surface waters, but Nicholson (1967)
states that the two principal sources of contamination are runoff from
agricultural land and discharge of industrial wastes, either from
manufacturers or formulating industries, or from those that use these
compounds in their manufacturing processes (e.g., mothproofing chemicals).
It is generally agreed that surface water contamination by pesti-
cides in the United States is principally caused by agricultural activities
(Liand Fleck, 1972). In addition to aerial spraying and subsurface
runoff, careless application practices and disposal or washing of used
pesticide containers have added substantial amounts of pesticides to
surface waters (Li and Fleck, 1972; FWPCA, 1968).
7
-------
Concern over surface water contamination by pesticides led to
the development of monitoring programs in the early 1960s under Federal
leadership. Table 6 summarizes the results of these monitoring programs
for twenty western U. S. streams.
Pesticide distribution within the freshwater ecosystem depends on
the compounds formulation and the chemistry or physics of the environ-
ment. Many pesticides are watersoluble (e.g., inorganic salts such
as copper sulphate and organic salts like the herbicide Diquat)
and readily become uniformly distributed throughout a lake or river.
Organochiorine insecticides or other less soluble pesticides,
are formulated with emulsions or surfactants, in oil based solutions,
or in organic solvents such as acetone. When pesticides enter the
water in these forms usually quick dispersion takes place. Other
formulations, such as wettable powders, granular pellets and baits
are dispersed less rapidly. Most settle even in running water, and
impregnate bottom sediments. Some dusts will remain on the water
surface but will eventually become dispersed througliout the water column.
Once pesticides reach a watercourse, they do not remain in the
same form for long. They may be transformed into other chemicals
biologically by sediment and water microorganisms, nonbiologically by
photolysis, or by chemical means. The persistence, toxicity and ocher
physiochemical properties are often affected by these transformations.
Several reviews discussing the metabolic and degradation products
of pesticides in soils, water, plants and animals have been published in
recent years with Li and Fleck (1972) being perhaps the most complete.
8
-------
Another tendency of pesticides in water is to be accumulated by
living organisms. Microscopic plants, higher aquatic vegetation and
aquatic animals tend to accumulate pesticides from water and store them
in or on bodily tissues. By this mechanism tremendous concentrations
in the body tissues are pos sib1e. Cope (1966) reports that a 30day
exposure to 0.05 mg/i of Heptachior with the bluegill sunfish resulted
in a tissue concentration of 15.7 mg/i. Johnson et al. (1971)
reports that the water flea, Daphnia mag , concentrated the insecticide
Aidrin to more than 141,000 times the water concentration within 72 hours.
The importance of this process (termed biomagnification) lies in
the fact that a pyramiding effect can occur through the food chain.
Lower forms can accumulate considerable amounts and these levels
are passed on to the next higher level in the food chain. Generally,
the ultimate level in the aquatic ecosystem are fish.
Based on available information the general trend in the United
States is towards relatively static concentrations of pesticides in
surface waters. Table 6 does not adequately show this trend In that
most pesticide monitoring programs have looked at only a few of the
compounds used; it was not until ca. 1970 that selected organo
phosphate compounds were added to the list, for example.

PESTICIDE EFFECTS ON THE BIOTA
Hunt and Keith (1968) in addressing themselves to the effects of
pesticides on the aquatic bioca noted;. (1) A direct effect resulting
from the toxic action of pesticides during chronic or acute exposure,
and (2) Indirect effects as a result of environmental changes (e.g.,
loss of food supply for primary consumers).
Unfortunately, available information on the indirect effects of
pesticides is scanty. Such data as the elimination of a major food
group on a given type of fish is not available.
Most assessments of ecological impact are based on direct toxic
action of pesticides to fish. Johnson (1968) and Ware and Roan (1971)
have presented excellent accounts on the effects of pesticides to
fish and plankton and microorganisms, respectively. Li and Fleck
(1972) provide a review of pesticide toxicity to all freshwater aquatic
animals.
A more complex problem than that of toxicity is the accumulation
of pesticides in various aquatic organisms. When pesticides reach
water, they are rapidly absorbed by the bottom sediments, plankton,
algae, aquatic invertebrates, aquatic vegetation and fish. Some of
these take up the pesticide directly from water flowing through their
bodies, or they may accumulate it through the food chain.
10
-------
There is extensive literature on residues of organochiorine
insecticides in fish, so only representative examples of the levels
of residues of different pesticides found in fish are given in Table 7.
The amounts of residues rarely exceed a few milligrams per liter; if
much higher than this, it is usually from fish taken from very heavily
contaminated areas (e.g., Lower Colorado River, FWPCA, 1968). The
most common residues are DDT and its metabolites, dieldrin, aldrin,
endrin and heptachlor. The most conunon insecticide is DDT, which generally
is also present in the largest amounts.
Residues are not equally distributed in all the tissues of a fish,
but concentrated in certain areas: adipose tissue, brain, liver, kidney
or the gonads. Generally, it is thought that tissue residues in ftsh
are accumulated through the gills; Edwards (1970) presents a review
of pesticide pathways in fish and discusses this aspect in more detail.
Reported pesticide residues in fish are remarkably consistent
(Table 7) and it is generally possible to associate occasional larger
amounts with nearby pesticide applications.
Available data, such as in Table 7, illustrates the problem of a
lack of sufficient data to draw definite conclusions on trends of
pesticide usage within the United States. Such information as organo
phosphate residue levels (not included in monitoring programs until
ca. 1970) is lacking or the fact that of 60,000 pesticide formulations
only a handful are routinely analyzed for and these compounds are not
always the most harmful compounds present.
11
-------
Based on available information it appears that in recent years
pesticide residue levels in fish are relatively static. No substantial
changes are occurring. However, most reported data deals with organo
chlorine compounds, which, as stated earlier, are being phased out in
favor of newer compounds. With increased use of these newer compounds,
which show little propensity to accumulate in tissues (Johnson, 1974), a
decline may be evidenced In the next few years as the ecosystem purges
itself of the organochiorine compounds.
While current pesticide levels in surface waters and fish remain
relatively constant, the next few years may see a decline in pesticide
contamination of fish and surface waters due to several factors:
(1) a greater shift to shorterlived organophosphate, carbamate
and herbicide compounds, (2) changes in agricultural practices that
lessen the chances for pesticides entering a watercourse, (3) develop-
ment and implementation of nonchemical means of insect control,
(4) more attention paid to the timing of pesticide applications to
catch an insect pest at a vulnerable time in the life cycle and thus
using less material, (5) legal regulations, and (6) an awareness of the
problems by pesticide applicators, distributors and manufacturers who
are awaking to the fact that environmental contamination is a very real
problem.
12

REGULATIONS AND LAWS
With the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency in
1970 many functions scattered throughout Federal agencies relating
to pesticides were gathered together and, through several reorganiza-
tions, now are centered in the Office of Pesticides, reporting to the
Assistant Administrator for Water and Hazardous Materials. Principal
functions include: (1) responsibility for pesticide label registration,
(2) pesticides research and standards setting, (3) certain pesticide
research functions carried out by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and
Wildlife of the Department of the Interior.
Not all functions with respect to pesticides in Federal Government
were transferred to EPA. The responsibility of enforcement of EPA s
tolerance levels in food will remain in the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). FDA will also maintain surveillance programs to determine
pesticide levels in food, continue research to improve analytical
methods of determining pesticide levels in food and studies on the long
term effects of pesticides on human health.
The legal basis for Federal involvement in pesticide management is
the Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act of 1912. A brief suary
of the Act is as follows:
A. This Act requires the registration of any pesticide or device
which is sold, distributed or delivered, and the registration
of any establishment that produces pesticides with the Administrator
of the EPA. The registration is generally concerned with labeling,
warnings, contents and use.
13
-------
B. As part of the registration, the Administrator classifies the
pesticide as for general use, restricted use, or both. General
use signifies that the pesticide, when applied in normal circum-
stances and in accordance with the directions, warnings and
cautions, will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on the
environment. Restricted use signifies that the pesticide
presents a hazard to the applicator or may cause unreasonable
adverse effects on the environment. A restricted use pesticide
can only be applied under the supervision of a certified appli-
cator and subject to restrictions as the Administrator may provide
by regulation.
C. The Administrator may also issue Experimental Use Permits in
order for an applicant to accumulate the information necessary
to register a pesticide or to conduct any studies that may be
desired.
D. Any State may adopt a program to certify applicators, issue
experimental use permits, and to locally register pesticides,
if the program is approved by the Administrator.
E. The Administrator, in addition to enforcing registration,
certification, and permits, has the following powers:
1. To issue an order to stop the sale, use, or removal of
any pesticide, or device, that there is reason to believe
on the basis of inspection or tests, is in violation of
this Act.
14
-------
2. To initiate seizure and condemnation proceedings against
a pesticide. This is mainly for pesticides in transit or
in unsold and unbroken packages that have violated a
labeling provision.
3. To cancel or change the classification of a registered
pesticide. This action becomes final after 30 days from
the date of notification to registrant unless the necessary
corrections are made or a hearing is requested.
4. To suspend the registration of a pesticide when necessary
to prevent an in ninent hazard during the time required for
cancellation or change in classification proceedings. The
registrant must be notified before the suspension order is
issued and must have the opportunity for an expedited
hearing on the question of whether an iinent hazard
exists.
5. To issue an emergency order in advance of notification to
the registrant, when an emergency exists that does not permit
the Administrator to hold a hearing before suspension.
In addition to the Act, EPA has proposed two additional sets of
standards, the Toxic Pollutant Effluent Standards (Toxic Substance List)
andProposed EPA Numerical Criteria for Water Quality.
The Toxic Substance List contains regulations establishing effluent
standards for several toxic pollutants: aldrin, dieldrin, benzidine and its
cadmium and all cadmium compounds, cyanide and all cyanide
compounds, DDT, DDD, DDE, endrin, mercury and all mercury compounds, poly
chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and toxaphene.
15
-------
Refering to the purposes of these effluent standards, the regulations,
in part, read: To avoid the effects of chronic toxicity, an effluent
standard is provided which is designed to ensure that, in most cases, the
proposed Water Quality Criteria, which are intended to provide protection
from chronic effects, are not exceeded over the long tern in the receiving
waters. This is achieved by limitations of the total weight of the pollutant
which can be discharged into receiving waters of given size. (EPA, 1973).
Water quality criteria published pursuant to the Act are those con-
centrations which are acceptable in the receiving water body. The criteria
were developed to protect a variety of water uses, with the protection of
fish and wildlife and potable water supplies being the most sensitive of
the freshwater usages. These criteria were devised, from available data,
to protect against both acute and chronic toxicological effects. Table 8
shows the numerical values proposed for a number of commonly used pesticides.
16
-------
DISCUSSION
From the data presented in this report, several features are
evident: (1) 1968 was the peak year for pesticide production in the
United States, with 1971 data (latest available) showing about a five
percent decline from 1968, (2) during the time period of 196671
significant reductions were made in several groups of pesticides, most
notably with the aldrintoxaphene group, DDT, 2,4D and 2,4,5T.
(While data is not available to indicate it as such, this time period
corresponds with the shift from .organochlorinetype compounds to the
newer organophosphate and carbamate compounds), (3) occurrences of
pesticides in water are in a relatively static state, (4) pesticide
residues in fish are remaining relatively constant and (5) Federal
action has resulted in stringent water quality and effluent standards
relating to pesticides.
Definitive conclusions are difficult to draw, but a safe sumption
would be that pesticide contamination of the freshwater ecosystem will
continue to be a problem. When considering information, such as
contained in this report, on the current status of pesticides the.
feeling of optimism pervades, however. With the discontinuance of
most usages of the persistent pesticides, in development of nonchemical
means of insect control (such as biological control), in changes that
are occurring in agricultural and industrial processes, in laws and
regulations at all levels of government and in the. attitudes of the
public and private sectors towards environmental damage, it may be
that in years to come the threat from pesticides will diminish.
