| Description | This study investigated the ability of two Oahu soils, Wahiawa and Lahaina, to prevent chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides; DDT and Lindane, in acetone solutions from percolating through the soils. The study was prompted by the possibility of contamination of Oahu's domestic groundwater source by the two widely used insecticides. Wahiawa and Lahaina soils were effective in withholding DDT under saturated and intermittent flow conditions. Breakthrough of Lindane was noted in Wahiawa and Lahaina...
