“…This might be due to their differences in physiochemical and biological properties since HCHs have higher water solubility, vapor pressure and biodegradability, lower lipophilicity and particle affinity compared to DDT 33 . Although the level of contamination of water in the present study was relatively much less, the presence of HCH and DDT residues in water is important matter of concern because consumption of contaminated water by milch animals in long run might lead to accumulation of lipophilic DDT and HCH residues in the animal body which ultimately gets secreted in milk 34,35 .…”

“…Therefore, this study was compared with data on agriculture soils in India. During 1990s, concentration of ∑HCH and ∑DDT in soils from India was observed as high as 430 mg kg -1 and 940 mg kg -1 , respectively, 20,24 however, during 2010s the concentrations of ∑HCH and ∑DDT were observed up to 255 mg kg -1 and 74 mg kg -1 , respectively. [21][22][23] This decreasing trend during 1990s to 2010s may be due to restricted use of these compounds in India.…”

“…47 Levels of ∑DDT and ∑HCH in urban soils from different location in China were in the ranges of 0.7-972.2mg kg -1 and BDL-1095 mg kg -1 , respectively. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][48][49][50][51][52] However, in agriculture soils from China, the ∑DDT and ∑HCH levels were in the ranges of 7.6-662.9 mg kg -1 and 0.2-103.9 mg kg -1 , respectively.…”

“…[15][16] For this reason, it is important that soil ingestion could be considered in any risk assessments involving their potential as harmful persistent organic pollutants. [17][18][19] Previous studies in India, have reported DDT and HCH concentrations in agricultural soils from different provinces of India such as Haryana, [20][21] National Capital Region [22][23] and UP, 22,[24][25] but work has never been conducted on urban residential soils in India. Documented research exists worldwide, to predict the risk to the residents' health, based on pesticide residue distribution in residential soils of urban and suburban areas.…”

Distribution of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and hexachlorocyclohexane in urban soils and risk assessment

et al. 2012

This study deals with the distribution of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) and hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) in urban soils, their possible sources and probabilistic human and environmental health risk. The average concentrations of total HCHs and total DDTs in the soils were in the range of 0.56-8.52 mg kg -1 and 0.54-37.42 mg kg -1 , respectively, which were lower than guideline limits. The compositional analysis of HCH isomers reflects contaminations from recent usage. However, isomeric ratios between DDT, DDE and DDD, indicate anaerobic degradation of DDT and contaminations from aged DDT. Human and environmental health risk assessment was carried out by the estimation of lifetime average daily dose (LADD), incremental life time cancer risk (ILCR) and non carcinogenic health hazard quotient (HQ). LADD of total pesticides (HCH and DDT) for human adults and children was ranged between 3.3¥10 -9 -6.6¥10 -8 mg kg -1 d -1 and 1.7¥10 -8 -3.4¥10 -7 mg kg -1 d -1 , respectively. The cumulative ILCR for adults and children was ranged from 5.1¥10 -9 to 4.6¥10 -8 and 2.6¥10 -8 to 2.4¥10 -7 , respectively. The HQ was ranged between 1.8¥10 -6 -1.4¥10 -4 and 9.5¥10 -6 -7.2¥10 -4 , respectively for adults and children. These estimated ILCR and HQ were within the safe acceptable limits, indicating negligible risk to the residents of the study area.

“…The tool for their protection and production is synthetic chemicals. Pesticides have potentially adverse effects on fruits, vegetables, crops and human health (Kumari, Madna, & Kathpal, 2006;Kumari et al, 1996). The estimation of pesticide residues in horticultural crops, i.e.…”

Vegetables (chilies, tomato, cauliflower and cucumber) and fruits (mango and apple) samples were spiked with known quantity (0.50 mg kg-1) of acetamiprid reference standard for testing the retrieval percentage of acetamiprid residue in those vegetables and fruits. The efficiency of different extracting (ethyl acetate and dichloromethane + acetone 8:2) and eluting (ethyl acetate and dichloromethane + acetone 8:2) solvents and adsorbents (activated charcoal and florisil) for cleanup purpose was calculated using HPLC. Amongst the extracting solvents ethyl-acetate was observed an effective extracting solvent alone which produced maximum 90-96% recovery for acetamiprid residues while among the eluting solvents a combination of dichloromethane and acetone (ratio 8:2) produced superior recoveries i.e. 87-95%. Similarly, between the adsorbents used for cleanup purpose activated charcoal and florisil in tandem (first from charcoal and then through florisil) yielded recoveries 82-90 % whereas adsorbents used alone in form of activated florisil and charcoal recovered only 70 to 78 % and 71 to 73% acetamiprid residues, respectively in all vegetables and fruits.
