The Illinois Department of Public Health participated in the Chicago, Illinois, area methyl parathion (MP) response with several other federal, state, and local government agencies beginning in April 1997. This response was initiated on evidence that hundreds of homes in the Chicago area were illegally treated for cockroaches with MP over a period of several years. Through applicator receipt books and information reported by property owners and tenants, 968 homes were identified as having been treated with MP. Upon implementation of a response plan developed by the Methyl Parathion Health Sciences Steering Committee, environmental sampling and urine monitoring were provided for eligible households. Environmental sampling was conducted in 903 homes, with MP detected above levels of concern in 596 residences. Residents of these homes were offered urine sampling to determine the extent of exposure to MP. Urine samples were collected and analyzed for p-nitrophenol in 1,913 individuals. Implementation of the protocol resulted in 550 residents being relocated during the remediation of 100 households.

Indratin I, Budihardjo MA, Helmi M. 2020. Distribution of parathion insecticide residue in shallot agriculture land in wanasari sub-district, Brebes regency. In: Herlinda S et al. (Eds.), Prosiding Seminar Nasional Lahan Suboptimal ke-8 Tahun 2020, Palembang 20 Oktober 2020. pp. xx. Palembang: Penerbit & Percetakan Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI).The use of pesticides in agricultural land tends to be excessive because farmers think that pesticides can increase yields. It can also pollute the environment. Many farmers often use organophosphate insecticides as the efforts in controlling the pests of shallot plant organisms, one of which is Parathion. The use of Parathion has been banned by the Indonesian government since 2015 for agriculture. This research aims to determine the distribution of Parathion residue in the lower red agricultural land in Wanasari sub-district, Brebes Regency. The research was carried out in March - July 2020 in Wanasari sub-district. Soil samples were taken to the Integrated Laboratory of the Indonesian Agricultural Environment Research Institute to be analyzed the residual content of Parathion by using the QueCheRS method. The mapping of the residue distribution method used ArcGIS 10.4 with the Spline interpolation method. The results of laboratory analysis identified the residual content of Parathion between
