dc.description.abstractEn | In this paper, we investigate for the first time the contamination source and the ecological risk associated to organochlorinated compounds in the Litani system. For this purpose, the levels of 7 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 13 organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs) were assessed, using a microwave-assisted extraction coupled to gas chromatography-electron capture detector (MAE/GC-ECD) method, in surficial sediments from 30 sites along the main course of the river, two major tributaries, and the Quaraoun Lake. ∑7PCBs exhibited total concentrations ranging from 0.11 to 8 ng g−1 of dry weight and are not able apparently to pose ecological risks since none of the samples showed concentration above the effects range low (ERL) guideline (22.7 ng g−1). The detected levels of OCPs in the river were significantly higher than those of PCBs; ∑13OCPs range from 0.5 to 46.5 ng g−1 of dry weight. Overall, the integrated eco-toxicological risk imposed by the organochlorine contamination in the Litani River, estimated as the mean effects range medium quotient (mERMq), is considered low with risk probability lower than 21% in all sites. The six dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane-based pesticides (∑6DDT) contributed to more than 70% of the mERMq in 15 over the 29 included sites. Moreover, the approach of ∑6DDT/∑7PCB ratios was applied to investigate the contamination source. ∑6DDT/∑7PCB was higher than one in all samples suggesting that the organochlorine contamination result from agricultural activities set in the surrounding areas of the Litani River. | |
