Samples of 13 vegetables were collected, between 14 July and 6 August, 1971, from 15 markets located in 12 different cities and analyzed for Heptachlor residues by gas liquid chromatograph. The residue concentrations of Heptachlor and its epoxide were estimated separately, at a sensitivity level of 0.001 p.p.m., to produce Heptachlor residues on the fresh weight basis. The Heptachlor residues in or on the crops analyzed, including three staple vegetables, potatoe, radish and chinese cabbage, were found fairly low and are far lower than the residue tolerences for respective vegetables recommended jointly by FAO and WHO of the United Nations.
