  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Pesticide concentrations in ground water at Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) near Denver, Colorado, were determined using solid-phase extraction (SPE) gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) procedures and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for cyclodiene insecticides and triazine herbicides. Matrix interferences resulted in inconclusive results for some GC/MS analyses due to baseline disturbances and co-elution, but ELISA analyses consistently gave definitive results in a minimum amount of time. ELISA was used initially as a screening method, and pesticide concentrations and plume extents identified by ELISA were confirmed by SPE-GC/MS. A high degree of correlation was seen between results from GC/MS and ELISA methods for the triazine herbicides (correlation coefficient (R&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;) = 0.99). All areas with high pesticide concentrations were found to be within the boundaries of RMA.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
