TI  - Organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in soil and water samples 
      in the Northeastern part of Sao Paulo State, Brazil.
PG  - 1949-58
AB  - Detailed analyses of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as organochlorine 
      pesticides (OCPs), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers (HCHs), 
      dichlorodiphenyltrichloro ethane (DDT) and its metabolites (DDTs) and congeners 
      of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soil and surface water from the 
      northeastern Sao Paulo, Brazil allowed the evaluation of the contamination 
      status, distribution and possible pollution sources. The pesticides and PCBs 
      demonstrated markedly different distributions, reflecting different agricultural, 
      domestic and industrial usage in each region studied. The ranges of HCH, DDT, and 
      PCBs concentrations in the soil samples were 0.05-0.92, 0.12-11.01, 0.02-0.25 ng 
      g(-1) dry wt, respectively, and in the surface water samples were 0.02-0.6, 
      0.02-0.58 and 0.02-0.5 ng l(-1), respectively. Overall elevated levels of DDT and 
      PCB were recorded in region 2, a site very close to melting, automotive batteries 
      industries, and agricultural practice regions. High ratios of metabolites of DDT 
      to DDT isomers revealed the recent use of DDT in this environment. The sources of 
      contamination are closely related to human activities, such as domestic and 
      industrial discharge, street runoff, agricultural pesticides and soil erosion, 
      due to deforestation as well as atmospheric transport.
