| This paper reports on the levels of organochlorine pesticide residues in edible biota from the coastal area of Dar es Salaam city, Tanzania. Samples were collected from the Msimbazi and Kizinga rivers and from the coastal marine environment receiving waters from these rivers. The samples were analysed for various organochlorine pesticide residues using GC-ECD and the results confirmed with GC-MS. Dieldrin, p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDD, o,p'-DDT and 'Y- HCH were the only organochlorines detected at concentrations above the method detection limits (MDL). The samples showed significant differences in levels of residues depending on location, mode of feeding and age/size of analysed biota. p,p'-DDT to total DDT ratios in biota indicated recent contamination of... |

| Water samples were collected from Msimbazi and Kizinga rivers in Dar es Salaam and from the coastal marine environment receiving waters from these rivers during both the wet season and the dry season and analysed for various organochlorine pesticide residues using GC-ECD. The pesticides p,p’-DDE, p,p’-DDT, dieldrin and g-HCH were the only organochlorines detected at significantly greater concentrations above detection limits. There was a marked difference on the frequency of pesticide residue detection during the two seasons. All the wet season samples and 37.5% of the dry season samples contained p,p’-DDE at concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 0.45mg/l and 0.08 to 0.20mg/l respectively. p,p’-DDT was detected in 25% of the dry season samples at a... |
