“…The level of ΣHCH in the mainstream of the Yangtze River (1.42 to 10.13 ng l −1 ) was lower than those in the Pearl River and in the Yangtze River at the Nanjing section, while was slightly higher than that reported in the Huaihe River in China (Jiang et al 2000;Yang et al 2004;Yu et al 2004). The concentration of ΣDDT in water from the Yangtze River was much lower than that in other rivers, when comparing with other regions worldwide (Fernández et al 1999;Golfinopoulos et al 2003;Turgut 2003;Singh et al 2005).…”

The residues of 13 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in surface water and HCHs and DDTs in suspended particulate matter (SPM) from rivers and lakes in Yangtze River catchment of Wuhan, China, were investigated. The concentration of total OCPs in surface water varied from 1.01 to 46.49 ng l(-1) (mean 10.55 ng l(-1)). The levels of total HCHs (SigmaHCH) and total DDTs (SigmaDDT) in surface water were in the range of 0.55-28.07 ng l(-1) and lower than detection limit to 16.71 ng l(-1), respectively, which was lower than Chinese standards on the whole. For OCPs residues in SPM, the mean levels varying from 0.20 to 34.72 ng l(-1) and 0.46 to 2.72 ng l(-1) for SigmaHCH and SigmaDDT, respectively, which ranked the relatively higher levels among Chinese studied rivers. Results from this investigation showed that previous excessive usage of technical OCPs was the main reason for the residues of HCHs and DDTs both in surface water and SPM, although some new sources were likely to occurred in the region. Apart from the OCPs in SPM originated from upstream in flood season, one of the important sources of OCP residues both in water and SPM in Yangtze River was supposed to be the inputs of its tributaries. Additionally, in situ water-SPM phase distributions of OCPs indicated that HCHs tended to transport (correction of totransport) with water as well as DDTs was prone to combine with SPM in Yangtze River catchment of Wuhan.

“…These levels are nearly same as the Yangtze River (0.55-28.07 ng/L) (Tang et al, 2008) and the Liaohe River (6.19-35.19 ng/L) (Gawlik et al, 2000), higher than the Huihe River (0.47-6.13 ng/L) (Feng et al, 2011), but lower than the Qiantang River (0.74-543.1 ng/L) (Zhou et al, 2008). When compared with other rivers over the world, concentration of HCHs in water from the Jinjiang River was similar to that of the Nestos River, Greek (n.d. À 68.00 ng/L) (Golfinopoulos et al, 2003) and much lower than the Giomti River, India (0.02-4846.00 ng/L) (Singh et al, 2005) and the Kucuk Menderes River, Turkey (187.00-337.00 ng/L) (Turgut, 2003). The concentrations of total DDTs in DP ranked in the range of 2.56-4.97 ng/L, with a mean value of 3.5670.89 ng/L (Table 2).…”

“…Organochlorine compounds have particularly been effective for the control of pests and diseases but their resistance to degradation has resulted in their being universal contaminants in water, soil and food (Kumar et al, 1995;Caldas et al, 1999;Hans et al, 1999;Kim and Smith, 2001;Singh, 2002;Singh et al, 2005a;Singh et al, 2005b). The chemical properties of OCPs such as low water and high fat solubility, stability to photo-oxidation and low vapour pressure are the main elements not only in the efficacy of these compounds as pesticides but also in their persistence in the environment (Kim and smith, 2001).…”

This study reports the concentration levels and distribution pattern of the organochlorine pesticide (OCPs) residues in the soil and surface water samples collected from the northern Indo-Gangetic alluvial plains. A total of 31 soil and 23 surface water samples were collected from the study region in Unnao district covering an area of 2150 km(2) and analyzed for aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, HCB, HCH isomers, DDT isomers/metabolites, endosulfan isomers (alpha and beta), endosulfan sulfate, heptachlor and its metabolites, alpha-chlordane, gamma-chlordane and methoxychlor. In both the soil and surface water samples beta- and delta-isomers of HCH were detected most frequently, whereas, methoxychlor was the least detected pesticide. The results showed contamination of soil and surface water of the region with several persistent organic pesticides. The total OCPs level ranged from 0.36-104.50 ng g(-1) and 2.63-3.72 microg L(-1) in soil and surface water samples, respectively.
