Drinking water samples provided by Orlando Utilities from various locations and from Florida Technological University were analyzed for organohalides. Compounds tentatively identified were 0.0024 mg/l DDT, 0.003 mg/l phosdrin, 0.00036 mg/l BHC, and 0.000095 mg/l endosulfan. These concentrations are well below recommended limits for drinking water.
