This study attempts to establish 1972 baseline levels for 31 organochlorine pesticides and industrial chemicals in postmortem human whole blood in Virginia. These pesticides and industrial chemicals have been detected previously in other parts of the food chain and environment. In the present study DDT and its metabolites, DDE and TDE, were detected most frequently and at highest levels. DDT and DDE tended to appear more frequently as people grew older although TDE levels remained constant. Dieldrin and lindane showed peak levels in the middle age group. Analyzing distribution of pesticides in blood by sex showed that females had higher levels of lindane and dieldrin and males had higher levels of DDT, DDE, and TDE. Analyzing racial distribution showed blacks with higher levels of DDT, TDE, and DDE and indicated little difference from whites for lindane and dieldrin. Higher levels were found in Richmond and Norfolk than in the Fairfax and Roanoke regions.
本研究试图确定弗吉尼亚州死后人体全血中31种有机氯农药和工业化学品的1972年基线水平。这些农药和工业化学品此前已在食物链和环境的其他部分被检测到。在本研究中，滴滴涕及其代谢物滴滴伊和滴滴滴的检测频率最高，含量也最高。随着年龄增长，滴滴涕和滴滴伊的出现频率往往更高，尽管滴滴滴的含量保持不变。狄氏剂和林丹在中年组出现峰值水平。按性别分析血液中农药的分布情况表明，女性的林丹和狄氏剂含量较高，而男性的滴滴涕、滴滴伊和滴滴滴含量较高。按种族分布分析表明，黑人的滴滴涕、滴滴滴和滴滴伊含量较高，而林丹和狄氏剂与白人的含量差异不大。里士满和诺福克的含量高于费尔法克斯和罗阿诺克地区。
