Analysis of summer and winter vegetable samples during 2002-2003 for pesticidal contamination was carried out on Gas Chromatograph-Electron Capture Detector with capillary columns. The contamination levels of winter vegetables (average concentration of 4.57, 6.80 and 5.47 ppb respectively for Lindane, Endosulphan and DDT) were found to be slightly higher than the summer vegetables (average concentration of 4.47, 3.14 and 2.82 ppb respectively for Lindane, Endosulphan and DDT). The concentration of these organochlorine pesticides in summer and winter vegetables were well below the established tolerances but continuous consumption of such vegetables even with moderate contamination level can accumulate in the receptor's body and may lead to chronic effects that could be fatal.
2002 - 2003年期间,利用配备毛细管柱的气相色谱 - 电子捕获检测器对夏季和冬季蔬菜样本进行了农药污染分析。结果发现,冬季蔬菜的污染水平(林丹、硫丹和滴滴涕的平均浓度分别为4.57、6.80和5.47 ppb)略高于夏季蔬菜(林丹、硫丹和滴滴涕的平均浓度分别为4.47、3.14和2.82 ppb)。这些有机氯农药在夏季和冬季蔬菜中的浓度远低于既定的耐受水平,但即使污染水平适中,持续食用此类蔬菜也可能在受体体内蓄积,并可能导致致命的慢性影响。
