The storage of insecticides in the body-fat of persons has previously been studied in several countries (e.g., England, France, USA) and food has been shown to be the main source from which DDT and perhaps other insecticides are absorbed. In view of the differences in dietary habits in India, a study was made to determine whether there are differences in the storage of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides in persons in India from that in persons in other countries.It was found that civilians in the Delhi area with no occupational exposure to insecticides had a significantly greater deposit in their fat of DDT-related compounds and HCH than do comparable persons in the USA, but less dieldrin and heptachlor epoxide. Storage in military personnel in other Indian cities from which samples were obtained was similar to that in the USA for most DDT-related compounds and HCH but, as in Delhi, lower for dieldrin and heptachlor epoxide.
此前,几个国家(如英国、法国、美国)已对人体内脂肪中杀虫剂的储存情况进行过研究,结果表明食物是滴滴涕以及可能其他杀虫剂的主要吸收来源。鉴于印度饮食习惯存在差异,因此开展了一项研究,以确定印度人体内氯代烃杀虫剂的储存情况与其他国家的人是否存在差异。研究发现,德里地区未接触过职业性杀虫剂的平民体内,滴滴涕相关化合物和六氯环己烷的脂肪沉积量显著高于美国的同类人群,但狄氏剂和环氧七氯的沉积量较少。在印度其他有样本采集的城市,军事人员体内大多数滴滴涕相关化合物和六氯环己烷的储存情况与美国相似,但与德里的情况一样,狄氏剂和环氧七氯的储存量较低。
