Abstract:
Water samples collected from different positions of two subterranean rivers in Liuzhou Karst Area are tested for18 kinds of organochlorine pesticides(OCPs)by gas chromatography coupled with an electron capture detect(GC/ECD).The results show that except dieldrin aldehyde,17 kinds of OCPs are detected in different levels and the OCPs concentration range from107.68 to1101.55ng/L, with a mean value532.515ng/L. Main OCPs are α-HCH,β-HCH,γ-HCH,δ-HCH,p,p'-DDE,o,p'-DDT,p,p'-DDD,p,p'-DDT,HCB, Heptachlor, Aldrin. Content of the DDTs is the highest. H C Hs and OCPs accountfor75.8%~96% of the total. Meanwhile, the origins of organochlorinated pesticides in the water are investigated. DD Ts mainly comes from soils. H C Hs source is relatively complex, probably originated from industry or long atmospheric transport. Recently use of lindane can also make H C Hsinputconcentrationincrease.Com paring concentration of OCPs in different kinds of water from the world, organochlorine pesticides content is relatively at high level in these two karst underground rivers.
