Abstract:
Paper provided the systematic data on the distribution and risk assess?ment
status of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in sediment of the Tisza River
(Serbia). The ?-HCH, endrin ketone and methoxychlor are the most commonly
found OCPs compounds. According to Serbian regulation concentrations of
dieldrin, ?-HCH, ?-HCH and heptachlor were below limit values. In the Tisza
River, sediment samples concentrations of aldrin, endrin, ?-HCH,
endosulfans, heptachlor epoxide, p,p?-DDD, p,p?-DDE, p,p?-DDT were above
limit values but below maximum concentration. Adverse effects are expected
occasionally and slight potential health risks may exist to organisms based
on the sediment quality guidelines. Upon exposure to organochlorine
pesticides through non-dietary routes, results reported no potential cancer
risk. The highest risk of cancer was through ingestion of contaminated
sediments and minimal through inhalation routes.
