Fenitrothion and aminocarb have been used operationally since 1969 and 1975 respectively for controlling the spruce budworm (Chrositoneura fumiferana Clem) in Canadian forests. In Quebec, environmental surveillance of aerial spraying carried out from 1979 to 1982 through the analysis of insecticide residues provides a general pattern of contamination in the sprayed areas. The present paper examines the results of these analysis and we also discuss the effect of such concentration levels on the environnent.
