Monitoring of DDT and HCH residues in abiotic and biotic components of the environment of Delhi during 1988 to 1989 revealed low to moderate levels of these insecticides in soil, earthworms, birds, buffalo milk, water, freshwater clams, fish, human fat, human blood and breast milk samples. Total HCH residues were less than those of DDT in all the samples. This survey indicates (in spite of the continued use of DDT and HCH in the country) a general decline in the levels of DDT residues in most of the samples studied when compared to previous surveys. Although the levels of DDT and HCH residues in fish and river water were below the permissible limits, those in human samples remained fairly high.
1988年至1989年期间对德里环境中的非生物和生物成分进行的滴滴涕和六氯环己烷残留监测显示,在土壤、蚯蚓、鸟类、水牛奶、水、淡水蛤、鱼、人体脂肪、人血和母乳样本中,这些杀虫剂的含量处于低至中等水平。在所有样本中,六氯环己烷的总残留量均低于滴滴涕。本次调查表明(尽管该国仍在继续使用滴滴涕和六氯环己烷),与之前的调查相比,大多数研究样本中的滴滴涕残留量普遍下降。虽然鱼类和河水中的滴滴涕和六氯环己烷残留量低于允许限值,但人体样本中的残留量仍然相当高。
