“…The range is comparable with the concentrations in soil from agricultural land in Syria [33], a protection area in Brazil [34], from a watershed in China [35], and from different areas in Hong Kong [36]. Agricultural soils in other regions investigated in the 2000s have partly higher concentration ranging up to 273 mg/kg dm in Saudi Arabia [37].…”

One consequence of the shift in land use from traditional food production to cotton production in West Africa is the application of different pesticides. The influence of this practice on the formation of pesticide residues in soils and sediments of seasonal dry pools was investigated in 2008 and 2009 in the region of the Pendjari biosphere reserve in Benin. The protected park area, the buffer zone with some sporadic agricultural practice and the agricultural zone of the Pendjari region were compared. GC-electron capture detector method was used to analyze selected pesticides covering the officially supplied pesticides and some organochlorine compounds. Residues of a-and b-endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, chlorpyrifos, p,p 0 -dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane, p,p 0 -dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) were detected in soils of cotton fields and in sediments from adjacent pools within the agricultural and buffer zone. Concentrations were in the range of below detection limit (DL) to 150 mg/kg dry mass (dm) for endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate together and of below DL to 12 mg/kg dm for chlorpyrifos. In pool sediments, concentrations of total endosulfan were in a range of below DL to 47 mg/kg dm. The occurrence of the pesticides was directly linked to the cotton growing season. No residues were detected at the beginning of cotton growing season. Concentration levels of p,p 0 -DDE were in the range of below DL to 12 mg/kg dm.No pesticide residues were found in the protected park zone.

“…The fate of OCPs in soils in the areas of land use and cropping patterns has also been extensively studied. The concentrations of these pollutants observed in many agricultural soil samples were very high (Al-Wabel et al, 2011;Hoai et al, 2010;Kumari et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2009;Senthilkumar et al, 2009;Xu et al, 2013a,b). A number of studies revealed the prevalence of OCPs and PCBs in various environmental matrices, including food commodities in India (Aktar et al, 2009;Chakraborty et al, 2010;Chowdhury et al, 2007;Devanathan et al, 2009;Guzzella et al, 2005;IPEN, 2006;Kole et al, 2001;Kumar et al, 2009;Prakash et al, 2004;Senthilkumar et al, 2001;Someya et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2008).…”

“…Persistent organic pesticide residues have been broadly distributed in Indian soil (Al-Wabel et al, 2011;Devi et al, 2013;Hoai et al, 2010;Kata et al, in press;Kumar et al, 2014;Kumari et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2009;Senthilkumar et al, 2009), water (Huang et al, 2013;Lari et al, 2014;Malik et al, 2009;Mutiyar et al, 2011;Mutiyar and Mittal, 2012;Singh et al, 2012), air (Chakraborty et al, 2010;Devi et al, 2011;Huang et al, 2013;Srimural et al, in press;Syed et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2008), living creatures (Bhuvaneshwari and Rajendran, 2012;Devanathan et al, 2009;Subramaniam and Solomon, 2006), and crops (Bajpai et al, 2007;Chowdhury et al, 2011).

“…[36] A Syrian study tested six soil samples and groundwater samples in an agricultural land over a period of 11 months, indicated that DDT was only observed in soil. [37] DDT was recorded in Saudi Arabic groundwater at 1.07 × 10 5 ng L −1 in Gazan, while DDE at 5.6 × 10 3 ng L −1 in Wadi Al-Dawaser and 9 × 10 4 ng L −1 in Gazan. [38] Our results were also compared to those reported by Zhou et al [39] and DDE was found to dominate DDT family in surface water of Qiantang River.…”

This study reviews the detection of pesticides in different surface and groundwater samples collected from South Litani region in South Lebanon during 2012. These have been analyzed using an optimized and validated solid phase extraction method followed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides were mostly noted at levels below the recommended value for individual pesticide in water except pirimiphosmethyl that was recorded at 300.87 ng L −1 in groundwater sample, designated for drinking water and collected in February. DDE concentration exceeded 100 ng L −1 in both surface and groundwater in October. The reported results represent the first Lebanese statistical data illustrating the quantification of pesticides in water over a period of time. More importantly, it draws attention to the need of pesticides' monitoring programs in the Lebanese water resources.
