PESTAB Samples of six brands of cigars purchased in Kentucky, Oregon, North Carolina, District of Columbia, and Florida were analyzed for DDT, TDE, endrin, toxaphene, and endosulfan by electron-capture gas chromatography, and for parathion and paraoxon by flame-photometric gas chromatography. The TDE levels ranged from 1. 9 to 6. 6 ppm, while the DDT levels ranged from 7. 9 to 17. 6 ppm. The residue levels of DDT, TDE, endrin, and endosulfan varied little from brand to brand. Although parathion was detected in all brands, the highest residue level was only 0. 1 ppm. Paraoxon was not detected in any sample. Toxaphene was detected at relatively high levels in two brands, but was not detected at all in two other brands which are normally manufactured from the same Florida cigar wrappers. In general, all brands contained residues of one or more insecticides over the proposed tolerances.
