Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the pesticides residues in sediments collected from different Constanta harbour berths Black Sea water. Determination of these pollutants is carried out in order to evaluate the pollution potentials and hazard in Black Sea sediments. An Agilent gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector (GC-μECD) was used for organochlorine pesticides (OCP’s) analysis from sediments samples, after extraction and clean-up step. The OCP’s total concentration (sum of 11 compounds) is generally quite low (in order of μg/kg).
