agriculture due to their insecticide activity. Due to their chemical
stability and lipophilic behavior they have a high tendency for
bioaccumulation in animal and human tissues through the food chain.
During this study was investigated the presence of the organochlorines
in red mullet (Mullus barbatus) fish from the Adriatic Sea. The fish
samples were collected from products destined for domestic market and
export as well. The instrumental analyses were carried out in GC/SM
Triple Quadrupole in multiple reaction monitoring mode. From 16
organochlorine compounds, pesticides and its metabolites, screened in
this study only the presence of DDT (found mostly in the form of its
degradation product DDE) was detected and quantified. Its presence
was confirmed at approx. 80 % of the samples in the range of 6 – 25
?g/kg and in only one sample the DDT (DEE p,p` metabolite expressed
as DDT) was found to be 106 µg/kg. | | Keywords : | | | POPs, DTT, fish, environmental pollution |
