摘要
This paper reports on the results of systematic analyses carried out to assess the distribution of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, and p,p'-DDD in a tropical waterway, the Cochin Estuarine System. Six sampling stations along the system were studied. Analyses were carried out during premonsoon, monsoon, and postmonsoon seasons. SIGMADDT concentrations as high as 55.422 mug L-1 were detected. The predominant DDT metabolite was found to be p,p'-DDE. During the monsoon season, o,p'-DDT was not detected at any of the sampling Stations. Station 1 (riverine) and station 6 (coastal zone barmouth) emerged as DDT-free zones and the analytical results have enabled the identification of DDT ''hot spots'' in the estuary.
