Abstract
⺠Monitoring fails to test for many agricultural pesticides used in any given area. ⺠Nine seldom-analyzed pesticides (e.g., abamectin) were tested for in sediments. ⺠One-quarter of the sediment samples were toxic to the amphipod, Hyalella azteca. ⺠The seldom-analyzed pesticides may have contributed to toxicity in a few samples. ⺠Pyrethroid insecticides were responsible for the vast majority of toxicity.
