“…The contamination of pond waters with a number of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides was demonstrated by Frank et al (1990) in Ontario, Canada. The contamination of drinking water as well as ground water with organochlorine insecticides has been reported all over world (Bakra et al 1990;Iwan 1990;Jani et al 1991;Ritter 1991).…”

“…The persistence of toxic pesticides in soil and water adversely affected soil health (Kammenga et al 2000), aquatic life and quality of drinking water (Kumar et al 1995). Contamination of soil and ground water has been reported globally (Kumari et al 1996;Bakra et al 1990;Iwan 1988;Jani et al 1991;Ritter 1990). In US about 2% of wells in multi-state studies were found with pesticide concentrations above the established maximum contaminant level (Barbash and Resek 1996).…”

Twelve samples each of soil and ground water were collected from paddy-wheat, paddy-cotton, sugarcane fields and tube wells from same or near by fields around Hisar, Haryana, India during 2002-2003 to monitor pesticide residues. Residues were estimated by GC-ECD and GC-NPD systems equipped with capillary columns for organochlorine, synthetic pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides. In soil, HCH (0.002-0.051 microg g(-1)), DDT (0.001-0.066 microg g(-1)), endosulfan (0.002-0.039 microg g(-1)) and chlordane (0.0002-0.019 microg g(-1)) among organochlorines, cypermethrin (0.001-0.035 microg g(-1)) and fenvalerate (0.001-0.022 microg g(-1)) among synthetic pyrethroids and chlorpyriphos (0.002-0.172 microg g(-1)), malathion (0.002-0.008 microg g(-1)), quinalphos (0.001-0.010 microg g(-1)) among organophosphates were detected. Dominant contaminants were DDT, cypermethrin and chlorpyriphos from the respective groups. In water samples, HCH, DDT, endosulfan and cypermethrin residues were observed frequently. Only chlorpyriphos among organophosphates was detected in 10 samples. On consideration of tube well water for drinking purpose, about 80% samples were found to contain residues above the regulatory limits.

“…Remarkable differences in the composition of HCH isomers and DDT metabolites between water samples from ponds with fish and without fish was recorded. Presence of p-p DDT, o-pDDT, Γ -HCH accounted due to continuous impact of HCH and DDT by means of sprayaing while the presence of b-HCH and p-p DDE was accounted for the degradation products (Bakre et al 1990). High value of p-p DDT as compared to p-p DDE implies that the DDT were applied recently.…”

“…Several studies from India have shown the occurrence of DDT and HCH in soil (Agarwal et al 1986), water (Bakre et al 1990), whole blood (Bhatnagar et al 1992), and bovine milk (Battu et al 1989). Frank et al (1990) found pesticides contamination in rural ponds of Canada, and explained that the contamination was due to both surface water run-off from treated fields during storm events and deposits from spray drifts.…”

The organochlorine insecticides DDT and HCH have been extensively used in India in agriculture and public health programme (Gupta 1986). Several studies from India have shown the occurrence of DDT and HCH in soil (Agarwal et al. 1986), water (Bakre et al. 1990), whole blood (Bhatnagar et al. 1992), and bovine milk (Battu et al. 1989). Frank et al. (1990 found pesticides contamination in rural ponds of Canada, and explained that the contamination was due to both surface water run-off from treated fields during storm events and deposits from spray drifts. HCH and DDT contamination in the major components of rural ponds biota-water, sediment and fish from India have not been studied despite the fact that rural ponds are the major water source for animals, agriculture, and other domestic uses. We present HCH and DDT levels in water, sediment and fish from rural ponds of India. MATERIALS AND METHODSSamples of water, sediment and fish were collected from 22 ponds belonging to 13 villages of District Shahjahanpur, U.P. India. Different species of fish were found in 9 ponds out of a total of 22 ponds surveyed. Two rounds of DDT (50% wp) @ 2g/sq.m and 3 rounds of HCH (50% wp) @ 0.3 g/sq.m were sprayed in the respective villages for the control of malaria and other vector borne diseases. HCH and DDT were sprayed randomly depending on their availability with the Health Department. No record of total consumption was available. The last round of spraying was completed in September, 1992. The study was performed in the month of November, 1992.Four 500 ml water samples from each pond were collected in clean 1-litre glass bottles by immersing them about 30 cm below the surface of water. Samples were collected 1.0 metre from the bank inside and from two sides of the pond and two samples from each side in dark glass bottles, brought to the laboratory and extracted immediately. 50 to 100 gm of the top 6 cm sediment layer were taken from two sides of each pond below the water and collected 1 metre from the bank.
