Abstract
⺠High levels of OCs were found at sites near wastewater discharges. ⺠Ubiquitous contaminants were endrin, γ-HCH, aldrin, CHLs, and endosulfan. ⺠The composition of DDT and its metabolites suggest old input of DDT. ⺠Levels of OCs were low to moderate compared to other locations worldwide. ⺠Areas of expected potential ecotoxicological risk were identified.
