To get information on the degree of contamination of drugs remaining in the room during application of fekama-dichlorvos 50, for control of cockroaches, lime-blossom-tea and 2 types of tablets were investigated under laboratory and field conditions. Residues of dichlorvos could be found to a variable degree in all the drugs. They are estimated as not being hazardous in the case of tablets because of the normally small daily intake; but in tea they may reach or exceed the acceptable daily intake. When stored tightly in closed millboard-containers, drugs absorb lower amounts.
