“…These data reflects the wide use of endosulfan in the surrounding agricultural areas over a long period [20]. Moreover, during warehouse storage, -endosulfan can be slowly converted to -endosulfan, which has higher toxic insecticidal properties than the -isomer [30].…”

“…Pesticides form an important group of environmental pollutants and the genotoxic effects of several chemical groups of pesticides have been shown by in vivo and in vitro experiments (Bolognesi, 2003;Abdollahi et al, 2004;Kaushik & Kaushik 2007). However, genotoxicity data for a great majority of pesticides are scanty (Gandhi et al, 1995), and where ever exist; the findings from different laboratories are contradictory for many formulations.…”

“…Among pesticides, organophosphates and organochlorines are constantly a matter of worry because of their wide use. Both groups of chemicals bear the potentiality to cause genotoxicity and carcinogenicity (Kaushik & Kaushik, 2007). Apart from the OPs and OCs, a new generation of pesticides, the synthetic pyrethroids, once claimed to possess a great safety factor (Kaushik & Kaushik, 2007), is reported to be genotoxic (Bhunya & Pati, 1990).…”

“…These hazardous compounds remain in the environment due to their low degradation, spatial transferability and lipophilicity which promotes their accumulation in fatty tissues and thus biomagnify in the food web [4][5][6]. Such hazardous compounds considered in this study include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs).…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs) such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), endosulfan and benzenhexachloride (BHC) were evaluated in yellowtail (Seriola lalandi) fish species. These hardous compounds were studied in fish sampled from three locations: Port Elizabeth, Yzerfontein and Struis Bay. The aim of the study was to investigate the profiles, levels and sources of PAHs and pesticides in yellowtail from the selected locations in relation to fish size and lipid content. Significant variations (p<0.05) were observed in the levels of PAHs measured in fish sampled from the three locations. Fish from Port Elizabeth had the highest PAHs concentrations (533.95 ± 34.36), followed by Yzerfontein (221.40 ± 33.03) and Struis Bay (88.97 ± 2.83) µg/kg wet weight. Benzo(a)pyrene (as PAHs biomarker) exceeded the recommended EU limit (2 µg/kg) in samples from Port Elizabeth and Yzerfontein whereas samples from Struis Bay did not exceed. DDT was detected only in samples from Port Elizabeth and Yzerfontein with mean total concentrations (7.48 ± 5.18 and 11.14 ± 1.44 respectively) not significantly different. Fish size (weight) correlated positively with lipid content (0.65; p<0.01) and a stronger positive correlation with ƩPAHs (0.83; p<0.01). PAHs input source in fish from Port Elizabeth reflected a mixture of petrogenic and pyrogenic whereas, Yzerfontein and Struis Bay showed input source as petrogenic. In conclusion, consumption of large sized fish in locations with high PAHs burden can predispose consumers to health risk. Further investigation into human dietary exposure with the species is recommended.
