Abstract (14pt, bold, black)
This
review summarizes and analyzes available data in the literature (mostly after
2000) on the occurrence of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its main
metabolites, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) and
chlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE), in the environment of the Pearl River
Delta (PRD), South China. Generally, the concentration levels of the sum of
DDT, DDD, and DDE, designated as DDTs thereafter, have not significantly
declined since 1983. However, the composition of DDTs residues have changed
with time. DDTs in soil, freshwater sediment and freshwater fish species were
mainly residues from chronological use. There is evidence that new point
sources, such as dicofol and anti-fouling paint, may have contributed DDTs to
various environmental compartments. Risk assessment against existing criteria
indicated that the levels of DDTs in water and some fish species may pose
adverse effects to humans or wildlife, and those in sediment/soil may also
cause negative impacts to the eco-environment of the PRD. (12pt, black, line space: 1.1)
