Abstract
Persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) like hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), and
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their ecotoxicological risks
were investigated in river bank sediments from Yamuna in Delhi, India.
The concentration of ∑HCH, ∑DDT
and ∑PCBs ranges between 19.
