“…The gamma isomer, commonly referred to as lindane, is the most prevalent and has the highest acute mammalian and insecticidal toxicity, and is used extensively for agricultural and public health purposes in India, and other developing countries. BHC was detected in air, water, sediments, soil, food, and drink, as well as in animals and humans (Waliszewski et al 1997;Ahmed et al 1998;Lebel et al 1998;Scharenberg and Ebeling 1998;Dubus et al 2000;Hanaoka et al 2002;Heudorf et al 2003;World Wildlife Fund 2003;Jaspers et al 2005;Masuda et al 2005;Chao et al 2006). Investigators reporting on the storage of the separate isomers in fatty tissue found that the beta isomer is the most predominant.…”

In this manuscript, the levels of persistent organic pollutants (POP) in human blood, as reported worldwide, are reviewed. A decline in blood residues of organochlorine pesticides (OCP) due to restrictions and prohibitions in their use was observed mainly since the second half of the 1970s. However, an increase of flame retardants levels, notably the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in human blood was reported in recent years. To date, no age or gender related trend were reported for brominated flame retardants -probably as a result of only recent exposure to PBDE relative to other POP such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and pesticides, and the shorter half-lives of PBDE. Blood levels of PBDE of individuals residing in the USA are substantially higher than those reported in Japan, Korea, and Germany. Congener specific profiles also differ in accordance with the prevailing use of different technical PBDE between countries. Higher blood concentrations in the USA may be attributed to the once widespread use of commercial penta-BDE on the North American continent. Preliminary data for POP levels in human blood in Singapore was reported and compared to global data. Generally, pesticide levels in Singapore are comparable to those found in other counties. The sum of 38 PCB congeners was 29 ng g À1 lipid, which was an order of magnitude higher than the sum of seven BDE congeners (2.6 ng g À1 lipid) measured in this study. The PBDE profile was consistent with many other blood studies conducted globally, and suggests a universally similar human exposure pattern to these contaminants.

“…Neither organophosphorous nor the other conventional or non-conventional insecticides, commonly used, were present in the water and soils in both provinces. (Safiatou et al 2007), Nigeria (Okeniyia et al 2009) and Egypt (Dogham et al 1996, and Ahmad 1998. This study showed occurrence of several organochlorine pesticides at low concentration in ground water and soil of Syrian coastal area, that was indicated the stop uses of old banned organochlorine insecticides such as DDT since the date of banning in 1984.…”

Soil and water samples collected biweekly over 2 month period, starting from 15 May to 30 June 2005 from Syrian costal area were analyzed to determine the occurrence of Pesticides residues and mainly the organochlorine pesticides. None of the conventional pesticides were detected neither in soil nor in water samples, the only insecticides were detected in the samples were the organoclorine insecticides. In water samples, the DDT and it is breakdown products of DDE was detected only in some sampling interval in both coastal governorates Tartous, and Latakia, and concentration typically ranged from 0.0018 to 0.0085 mg/L whereas, the 4,4 DDD were almost found in all water samples and ranged from 0.0076 to 0.0705 mg/L. Lindane, and δ BHC were detected in all samples of both governorates at concentration ranged from 0.0202 to 0.0537 and from 0.0106 to 0.136 mg/L respectively. In soil the results showed that, the high level of Lindan residues in all analyzed samples in both governorates. Concentration typically ranged from 8.54 to 22.50 mg/kg, and that was due to the more recent banning of Lindan (in 2000). The residue levels of DDE were the highest among the rest of the detected OC residues and it ranged from 8.54 to 22.50. However the range of residues concentration of the other detected OC. Pesticides were as follow; 4,4 DDD from 3.81 to 14.37, 4,4 DDT from 2,22 to 12.38, 2,4 DDT from 2.94 to 5.28, HCH from 3.18 to 571, 2,4 DDD from 0.87 to 4.28 and the combination of Endosulfan and Endosulfan sulfate ranged from 0.05 to 9.18 mg/kg.

“…Residues of OCPs were detected in almost all environmental compartments including water bodies, food chain, as well as in humans. Soil is the main repository of these OCPs [2]. The contamination of soil and sediments with persistent OCPs may be related to point sources such as industrial discharges and waste plant effluents, but more frequently, it is attributed to diffuse sources, precipitation, agricultural runoff and particle transport.…”
