Abstract
Periodic dissipation and accumulation kinetics of endosulfan (at 1 ppm concentration) in soil and earthworms were studied by soil pot exposu re method in controlled environment chamber in the laboratory. The ext ractable residue and half life of endosulfan in soil was found to be 9 2% and 15.8 days respectively. The daily uptake of endosulfan by earth worm from soil was 1503 ppb/day suggesting an increase of residue buil d up and cumulative effects
