A Preliminary Study of OCPs in Underground River Surface Sediments from Chongqing Typical Karst Areas

19 kinds of organochlorine pesticides(OCPs) in groundwater surface sediments of Chongqing typical karst areas were analyzed by GC-ECD.The total concentration range of OCPs was 4.73-286.03 ng/g,the concentration range of DDTs was 0.35-181.78 ng/g and the concentration range of HCHs was nd-23.53 ng/g.As compared with those of other rivers domestic and abroad, the organchlorine pesticides in sediments of Chongqing typical karst areas is in the high level which indicates that the underground river in Chongqing typical karst areas has been highly polluted.The DDE/DDD
