“…Although the use of organochlorine insecticides for agricultural purposes was banned in India and Bangladesh in the 1990s, the historical application of OCPs in these countries appeared to still exert an influence on atmospheric levels of OCPs at TM. 47 Northern MSA was a potential source region of g-HCH, TC and Endo I, which was coincident with the previous findings in this area. 9,48 Southern China, especially the Pearl River Delta, is an area with a history of heavy pollution and as expected, is identified as a source region of g-HCH, TC and DDTs.…”

A range of organochlorinated compounds have been consumed in China, India and the countries of mainland southeast Asia (MSA). Considering their persistence in the environment and ability in longrange atmospheric transport (LRAT), the potential outflow of these compounds from this region is therefore of great concern in the context of the global distribution of toxic chemicals. As part of a monitoring campaign aimed at investigating the LRAT of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from southern China, MSA and northern India, atmospheric levels of OCPs and PCBs were measured once a week from October 2005 through December 2006 at Tengchong Mountain (TM), a remote site located in south-western China. The average concentrations of OCPs were found to be higher than those in other remote stations in the Arctic and the Tibetan plateau, except for a-hexachlorocyclohexane (a-HCH). A high level of b-HCH and low a-HCH/b-HCH ratio was attributed to an accidental release of b-HCH from unknown sources, besides obvious evidence of lindane (g-HCH) and technical HCH usage. Temporal variations of chlordanes and endosulfan were related to the usage pattern of these compounds, as well as LRAT. In contrast, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) exhibited a relatively minor seasonal variation. The OCP levels at the monitoring site were found to be related to the air parcel back trajectories on the basis of four distinct clusters. Elevated levels of HCHs and DDTs were observed when air parcels originated from northern India where considerable OCP usage was reported recently, while high levels of g-HCH and TC (trans-chlordane) were mainly associated with air masses from southern China and northern MSA. The study highlighted the high background level of OCPs as well as their temporal patterns of trans-boundary LRAT in the MSA region.

“…These may be the ban of organochlorines from the pesticide markets from 1993 according to the Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act 1995 due to their high toxicity (Matin et al 1998). Another study conducted on the presence of organochlorine residues in water samples from irrigation canals in the Meghna-Dhanogoda irrigation project, Bangladesh, reported that the maximum amount of DDT was 5.7 lg/l (Alam et al 1999), but in the present study, no DDT was detected in water.…”

Determination of selected pesticides in water samples adjacent to agricultural fields and removal of organophosphorus insecticide chlorpyrifos using soil bacterial isolates

The use of pesticide for crops leads to serious environmental pollution, therefore, it is essential to monitor and develop approaches to remove pesticide from contaminated environment. In this study, water samples were collected to monitor pesticide residues, and degradation of chlorpyrifos was also performed using soil bacteria. Identification of pesticide residues and determination of their levels were performed by high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detector. Among 12 samples, 10 samples were found contaminated with pesticides. Chlorpyrifos was detected in four tested samples and concentrations ranged from 3.27 to 9.31 lg/l whereas fenitrothion ranging from (Below Detection Limit, \0.1 lg/ l) to 33.41 lg/l in the tested samples. Parathion was found in two tested samples at the concentration of 0.73 and 6.23 lg/l. None of the tested samples was found contaminated with Methoxychlor, DDT and Ethion. Three soil bacterial isolates, Pseudomonas peli BG1, Burkholderia caryophylli BG4 and Brevundimonas diminuta PD6 degraded chlorpyrifos completely in 8, 10 and 10 days, respectively, when 20 mg/l chlorpyrifos was supplied as sole source of carbon. Whereas, BG1, BG4 and PD6 took 14, 16 and 16 days, respectively, for complete removal of 50 mg/l chlorpyrifos. Chlorpyrifos degradation rates were found maximum by all three isolates at 2nd day of incubation for both tested concentrations. The results of the present study suggest the need for regular monitoring of pesticide residues in water, to protect the aquatic environment. Chlorpyrifos degrading bacterial isolates can be used to clean up environmental samples contaminated with the organophosphate pesticides.

“…For instance, the biochemical half-life of DDT in the environment is at least 15 years. The persistent nature of OCPs and their translocation from agricultural land as runoff or as irrigation return flow can cause residues in water sources (Matin et al 1998). In Turkey, groundwater levels are high and soils are usually coarse, which probably contribute to pesticide pollution of groundwater.…”

The levels of 16 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in surface water in Mid-Black Sea Region in Turkey were investigated to evaluate their potential pollution and risks. The analysis of OCPs extracted by C-18 solid phase extract was performed using Fisions Mega II Series gas chromatograph coupled by electron capture detector. Surface water samples have been collected seasonally from ten rivers for a period of 1 year. The most commonly encountered OCPs in surface water were the isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane, dieldrin, p,p-DDD, and heptachlor epoxide. In some cases the concentrations detected were higher than the qualitative target levels set by the European Union, especially for δ-hexachlorocyclohexane. The concentration levels found are lower than the EU maximum acceptable concentration of 0.10 μg/l for all compounds examined, except for δ-HCH in two samples (0.2505 μg l −1 in the S-5 and 0.2046 μg l −1 in the S-10). The occurrence of these compounds
