Residues of ethylene dibromide, ethylene chlorobromide, methyl bromide, and inorganic bromide were investigated between 1955 and 1969 in Hawaii after treatment of spear of asparagus, Asparagus officinalis L.; ‘Nutmeg’ avocados. Persea americana Mill.; ‘Brewster’ litchis, Litchi chinensis Sonn; navel oranges, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck: ‘Solo’ papayas, Carica papaya L.; bell peppers, capsicum annuum L.; smooth cayenne pineapples, Ananas Comosus (L..) Merr.; and tomatoes, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. Residues in the packaging materials for papayas and pineapples were also determined after fumigation with ethylene dibromide. The doses were the minimums or double the minimums required by quarantine regulations to treat fruits and vegetables to prevent the accidental presence of 3 Hawaiian tephritids, the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann); the oriental fruit fly, Dacus dorsalis Hendel; and the melon fly, D. cucurbitae Coquillett.
