All the samples were analyzed for the totoal residuesof endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate and also the potential hydrolysis product endosulfan diol, using gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The Analysis of soil, dried leaf samples, cow milk, fish and water showed negligible residues of endosulfan Hence, the report has dismissed the link between endosulfan and the disease in Kasargod .
