SPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDES IN COASTAL SEDIMENTS FROM BAY OF BENGAL, INDIA
Contamination of organochlorine pesticides has been carried from 23 sampling locations on five transects along the coast of West Bengal, India. The observed concentration of pesticide residues in sediments throughout the study stretch, ranged as lindane (0.8-35), dieldrin (0.6-22), aldrin (0.8-32), DDD (0.3-12), DDT (1.9-8.2) and DDE (0.1-12) ng.gm-1.The observed average concentration of organochlorines in sediments was lindane (10) > aldrin (7.0) > dieldrin (6.4) > DDT (4.6) > DDD (4.1) > DDE (2.6) on ng.gm-1. The observed pesticide concentrations are greater than interim sediments quality guidelines (ISQG) and probable effect levels (PEL).
