Residues were found less frequently in reference homes and all levels were below 1000 ng/g.
Household dust concentrations for all four target compounds were significantly lower in reference homes when compared to farmer/farmworker homes (Mann Whitney, U test; p < 0.05).

The majority of the farm families lived within 200 feet of an operating apple or pear orchard, whereas all reference homes were located at least a quarter of a mile from an orchard.
Median chlorpyrifos house dust concentrations were highest for the 49 applicator homes (0.4 microg/g), followed by the 12 farm-worker homes (0.3 microg/g) and the 14 nonagricultural reference homes (0.1 microg/g), and were statistically different (p < 0.001); we observed a similar pattern for parathion in house dust.
But it's not an exhaustive reference on home upkeep or emergency repairs.
As reference tools, home globes can't compete with detailed, up-to-date online resources (though note the Wikipedia logo, an incomplete globe).
