Abstract—Thirty-four surface water samples were collected
from Huaihe River, China. The organic compounds were
extracted by solid-phase extraction (SPE) system and detected
by gas chromatography (GC) using a mass-selective detector.
HCHs were the dominant organochlorine pesticides in surface
water. The results of PCA suggested there was some similar
interrelation between individual OCPs. Health risks assessment
indicated that the risks of children were higher than adults both
carcinogenic risk and non-carcinogenic risk. The carcinogenic
risk analysis indicated the health risks were very low for
children, and there were not carcinogenic risks for adult.
Index Terms—HCH, DDT, health risk assessment, Huaihe
River.
