A study of samples/substrates from Kasaragode district in Kerala, where aerial spraying of endosulfan is alleged to have proved a hazard to public health, has confirmed that except for marginal deposition in soil (0.001-0.012mcg/gm) and leaf (0.040-2.893 mcg/gm), no residue was found in samples of human blood, cow milk, fish or water.
