AB  - Dietary exposure of the Hong Kong adult population to organochlorine pesticide 
      (OCP) residues was estimated using a total diet study (TDS) approach. OCPs listed 
      under the Stockholm Convention as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including, 
      aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane, chlordecone, dichlorodiphenyltricholroethane (DDT), 
      endosulfan, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), alpha-hexachlorocyclohexanes 
      (HCH), beta-HCH, lindane, mirex, pentachlorobenzene and toxaphene, were studied. Out 
      of 600 composite samples, 55% contained one or more OCP residues at detectable 
      levels. The most commonly detected OCP was DDT (32% of all composite samples), 
      followed by HCB (30%) and endosulfan (22%). The lower- and upper-bound mean 
      exposure estimates of OCP residues ranged from 0% to 0.5% and were 0.1-8.4% of 
      their respective health-based guidance values (HBGVs). The lower- and upper-bound 
      95th percentile exposure estimates ranged from 0% to 1.2% and were 0.1-13.6% of 
      their respective HBGVs. This indicated that dietary exposures to the OCP residues 
      analysed would be unlikely to pose unacceptable health risks to Hong Kong adults.
