Abstract:In this paper, the spatial distribution of two organochlorine pesticides (DDTs and HCHs) in sediment cores in China were summarized by reviewing historical records. The results showed that: (1) The highest concentrations of ∑4DDTs (p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD, p,p'-DDE) in sediment cores were found in the mouth of Liuchahe stream and Chaohu Lake (Anhui Province) and the peak value (457ng/g dw) occurred in 1965. The highest concentrations of ∑6DDTs (p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDD, o,p'-DDD, p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDE) in sediment cores was found in Hailing Bay (Guangdong Province) with the peak value (3480ng/g dw) in 2008~2010. The highest concentrations of ∑4HCHs were found in Macao Estuary with the peak value (82.3ng/g dw) in 1993; (2) The highest deposition fluxes of ∑4DDTs and ∑4HCHs were found in Pearl River Delta with the peak value [115ng/(cm2×a) and 32.5ng/(cm2×a)] in 1970s~1980s. In general, the concentrations and deposition fluxes of organochlorine pesticides (DDTs, HCHs) were higher in southern China than those in northern China, higher in plain and low latitude areas than Alpine Region (Qinghai-Tibet Plateau) and high latitude areas (northeast China), and higher in aquaculture areas or cultivated areas than non-aquaculture areas and non-cultivated areas; (3) the concentrations and deposition fluxes of ∑4DDTs and ∑6DDTs peaked mainly in 1970s and the mid-2000s with a few studies reporting peak values in the 1960s. For ∑4HCHs, peaks occurred mainly in the 1970s and the early 2000s; (4) No obvious patterns were found for the ratio of (DDD+DDE)/DDT in China. The sources of DDTs could be historical residues, diagenesis, exogenous or dicofol inputs. The ratio of α-HCH/γ-HCH was lower than 3in most region after 1990s, which indicated the use of lindane during this period.
