Monitoring of organochlorine pesticides residues in green mussels ( Perna viridis) from the coastal area of Thailand

Organic pesticide residues decreased from 1989 to 1999. The utilization of organochlorine pesticides for pest control chemical has been of great interest on residue contamination from biological organisms in the environment. Green mussel ( Perna viridis) samples were monitored as bioindicators for a...

Description
Summary:	Organic pesticide residues decreased from 1989 to 1999. The utilization of organochlorine pesticides for pest control chemical has been of great interest on residue contamination from biological organisms in the environment. Green mussel ( Perna viridis) samples were monitored as bioindicators for assessment of the water quality in coastal waters along the Gulf of Thailand. Thirty-six samples were collected from 12 stations during 1997–1999 and analysed for 26 organochlorine pesticide compounds. This paper focuses on the contamination of organochlorine pesticide residues in green mussel ( P. viridis) during 1997–1999. The limit of detection of all organochlorine pesticides compounds was at the range of 0.1–8.3 ng g −1 wet weight and recovery 75–95%. The concentration of organochlorine pesticides residues in green mussel was lower than the maximum residue limit for aquatic animals as recommended by the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand. The trend of organochlorine pesticide residue contamination in this area decreased from 1989 to 1999.
