Abstract
Thirty-four surface water samples were collectedfrom Huaihe River, China. The organic compounds wereextracted by solid-phase extraction (SPE) system and detectedby gas chromatography (GC) using a mass-selective detector.HCHs were the dominant organochlorine pesticides in surfacewater. The results of PCA suggested there was some similarinterrelation between individual OCPs. Health risks assessmentindicated that the risks of children were higher than adults bothcarcinogenic risk and non-carcinogenic risk. The carcinogenicrisk analysis indicated the health risks were very low forchildren, and there were not carcinogenic risks for adult.
