A comprehensive study from the surface soil samples of 14 locations from Amghara, Kuwait were assessed for the investigation of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). There is limited information regarding the distribution pattern of OCPs in the soil samples of Kuwait. The total concentration of OCPs was in the range of 209.39 pg/g -7449.18 pg/g with an average value of 1313.04 pg/g. DDT had higher concentrations in soil samples (969.52 pg/g) than the other pesticides, according to the findings. The distribution pattern of OCPs in the Amghara soils revealed their origin as both historical and recent applications of pesticides. The study extended, how residual quantities could be used to determine health risks of both children and adults. Children and adults in all the locations were subject to negligible cancer risk, according to the health risk evaluation.
从科威特阿姆加尔哈的 14 个地点的表层土壤样本中进行了一项综合研究,以调查有机氯农药 (OCPs)。有关科威特土壤样本中 OCPs 分布模式的信息有限。OCPs 的总浓度范围为 209.39 pg/g-7449.18 pg/g,平均值为 1313.04 pg/g。研究结果表明,与其他农药相比,DDT 在土壤样本中的浓度更高(969.52 pg/g)。阿姆加尔哈土壤中 OCPs 的分布模式表明它们是历史和近期农药使用的双重来源。该研究扩展了如何利用残留量来确定儿童和成人的健康风险。根据健康风险评估,所有地点的儿童和成人都面临可忽略不计的癌症风险。
