“…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). 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). Today, everything from food to groundwater and drinking water is contaminated severely with OCPs, therefore understanding the environmental fate of OCP residues is a key issue.…”

“…Limited information is available from India on the nature of pesticide residues in milk. Milk samples from various parts of India contained DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and HCH (Hexachlorocyclohexane) residues [7,[33][34][35][36][37]. The Organochlorine Pesticide (OCP) residues in buffalo and goat milk from Lucknow have been reporte [38] .…”

The ill effects of green revolution include residues of extensively used chemical pesticides in various environmental components. The present study was designed to analyze the levels of organochlorine pesticide residues along with chemical composition in buffalo milk samples collected from different localities of Delhi. Milk monitoring can yield information about the kinds and quantities of pesticides in the environment as well as in our daily diet. In this study, the residue of three different organochlorine pesticides, namely Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and Endosulfan have been reported. Residues of Lindane exceeded the Maximum Residual Limit values in 50% of the samples is a cause of serious concern. The p,p'-DDT was detected in 70% of the samples with p,p'-DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) in 80% of the milk samples of different parts of Delhi state. DDD (Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane) another metabolite of p,p'-DDT was detected in 65% of the milk samples. The analysis indicates that DDT is the major contaminants in different parts of Delhi state. α and β endosulfan were detected in 35% and 40% of the samples analyzed. The statistical correlation shows no significant correlation between chemical compositions of the samples. The presence of multiple chemicals in virtually all samples of buffalo milk raises new questions about the possible toxicological impacts of chemical mixtures on an infant's developing nervous and immune systems and reproductive organs.

“…Organchlorine pesticides are partly banned in India; however, they are still used in many parts of India for various purposes including agricultural operations. Several reports indicate the incidence of organochlorine pesticides in milk and milk products (Devanathan et al, 2009;Kumar et al, 2005;Pandit et al, 2002). Kalra et al (1978) studied DDT contamination of milk collected from different locations in Punjab where the DDT ranged from 0.006 to 0.13 µg g -1…”

Immunoassay of pesticide residues in foods is gaining importance in the past two decades. The objective of the present work is to develop an enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for the assay of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in milk and milk products. Here, an ELISA method was developed using rabbit polyclonal antibodies against a hapten, DDT-OH for the detection of organochloride pesticide DDT in milk and milk products. The immunogen for raising the antiserum was prepared from BIS (4-chlorophenyl) ethanol and succinic anhydride coupled with bovine serum albumin (BSA) One ml of immunogen was inoculated subcutaneously in multiple sites of thigh region in rabbits following three boosters at weekly intervals and the antiserum was harvested after the second booster. The ELISA response of the anti DDT antiserum, diluted and undiluted was studied against the antigen (DDT) coated onto the immuno module. The homogenous response of the anti DDT anti serum was adequate to identify DDT. Fifteen samples each of milk, buttermilk, cheese, kalakhand and khoa were quantitatively analyzed for DDT using ELISA as well as GC methods. DDT was present only below detectable limit (BDL) (5 ng g -1 ) in milk and milk products obtained from organized dairies in and around Chennai city, India. The percentage recovery was above 70% ensuring that the ELISA method developed for DDT is dependable. The developed ELISA method can be helpful in detecting the residual amount of DDT present in milk and milk products. The analysis of pesticides in samples by ELISA and GC was comparable.
