The safety of source water is a noticeable problem in the Pearl River Delta, one of the densely populated areas in China. In this study, 20 individual organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were investigated in 15 water sources within this area using gas chromatography-electron capture detector, and the hazard risks to human health were assessed in terms of individual OCPs based on daily water consumption according to the standard recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency…

Organochlorine pesticide residues in surface water from Sichuan Basin to Aba Prefecture profile, east of the Tibetan Plateau
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) found in rivers from the Sichuan Basin to Aba Prefecture profile were analyzed to assess possible health risks to adults and children who use the river as a source of…
Distribution, sources, and potential toxicological significance of PAHs in drinking water sources within the Pearl River Delta.
TLDR
Overall, ∑15 PAHs concentrations were extremely high in the XC and ZHQ stations during the wet season in 2008 and 2009, and Hazard ratios based on non-cancerous and cancerous risks were extremely higher in XC compared with the others during the dry season, though they were much less than 1.0.
Distribution, possible sources, and health risk assessment of SVOC pollution in small streams in Pearl River Delta, China
TLDR
The pollution levels of typical semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) consisting of 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 20 organic chlorinated pesticides, and 15 phthalate esters were investigated in small rivers running through the flourishing cities in Pearl River Delta region, China, finding no chronic risk of the SVOCs was identified by a health risk assessment through daily water consumption.
Residual levels and ecological risks of organochlorine pesticides in surface sediments from Lake Chaohu
The contents of organochlorine pesticides(OCPs) in surface sediments from 14 sampling sites in Lake Chaohu were measured by GC-MS.The distributions,compositions,relationships with TOC and potential…

Pollution characteristics and underlying ecological risks of primary semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in urban watersheds of Shanghai, China
TLDR
Ecological and health risk assessment results showed that dieldrin and BBP have the potential to cause adverse effects on the environment, while B(a)p and DBP have high carcinogenic risks to humans.
The evolution of pollution profile and health risk assessment for three groups SVOCs pollutants along with Beijiang River, China
TLDR
In this study, the pollution profiles of three species including 16 PAHs, 20 OCPs and 15 PAEs in water along the Beijiang River, China were investigated and will show scientific insights into the evaluation of the status of combined pollution in river basins, and the determination of strategies for incident control and pollutant remediation.

TLDR

TLDR
Risk assessment against various standards clearly showed that seafood products were highly contaminated by DDTs and may pose health threat to local residents and the consumers all over the world, and continual monitoring of OCPs in various environment compartments urgently is needed to mitigate effectively the impact on human health and the ecological environment.
