Abstract

18 Organochlorine Pesticides at the water(surface water and porewater) in Jiulong River Estuary were determined. The range of organochlorine pesticides at surface water was 51.3 - 2479ng/L, and the concentration in porewater was 266 - 33355ng/L. The results showed that the organochlorine pesticides were removed in the estuary and the sediments were the reservior of the organochlorine pesticides. Compared with the results of other harbor and estuaries, it showed that the contamination for organic chlorine pollutants in Jiulong River Estuary was similar to those of others. At the same time, the risk of organochlorine pesticides in the estuary was evaluated.
