[Distribution Characteristics and Ecological Risk Assessment of Organochlorine Pesticides in Sediments of Zhanjiang Bay].

Sixteen surface sediment samples were collected from the estuary of the Suixi river to the mouth of Zhanjiang Bay and then analyzed for organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) by GC-MS to investigate their distribution and ecological risk. The results showed that the concentrations of OCPs in the sediments ranged from nd to 189.52 ng·g (mean 32.

[Characterization of free and bound organochlorine pesticides in four soil/sediments of the Pearl River Delta, China].

Free and bound residues are the main form of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soils/sediments. Four surface soil/sediments from the Pearl River Delta, China, were selected to characterize free and bound OCPs in different fractions of organic matters in the samples through alka-extraction, HCl/HF demineralization and organic solvent extraction. Total OCPs concentrations of samples were 20.
