AB  - The study investigated the levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in 
      different types of vegetables grown in periurban area of National Capital Region 
      (NCR), India. Vegetable sampling was carried out in winter and summer season of 
      2012. A total of 20 different OCPs were determined using gas chromatography (GC) 
      assembled with electron capture detector (ECD). Obtained results showed that 
      average levels of  summation operator(20)OCP ranged from 83.8 +/- 25.5 ng g(-1) in smooth gourd to 
      222.4 +/- 90.0 ng g(-1) in cauliflower. The mean concentrations of different OCPs 
      were observed in order of  summation operatorHCH >  summation operatorCHLs > drins >  summation operatorendosulfan >  summation operatorDDT in all 
      vegetables except in brinjal and smooth gourd. Most of the OCP residues recorded 
      in vegetable samples exceeded the maximum residue levels (MRLs) set by 
      international and national regulatory agencies. Health risk assessment suggests 
      that daily dietary OCP exposure via vegetable consumption was higher for children 
      (mean value 4.25E-05) than adults (mean value 2.19E-05). The hazard quotient (HQ) 
      and lifetime cancer risk (LCR) estimated from dietary exposure of these 
      vegetables were above the acceptable limit and can be considered as a serious 
      concern for Delhi population.
