This paper presents the first detailed investigation on the residual levels of organochlorine insecticide
(OCI) concentrations in the Cochin estuarine sediment. It aims in elucidate their distribution and ecological
impact on the aquatic system. Concentrations of persistent organochlorine compound (OC) were
determined for 17 surface sediment samples which were collected from specific sites of Cochin Estuarine
System (CES) over a period of November 2009 and November 2011. The contaminant levels in the CES
were compared with other worldwide ecosystems. The sites bearing high concentration of organochlorine
compounds are well associated with the complexities and low energy environment. Evaluation of
ecotoxicological factors suggests that adverse biological effects are expected in certain areas of CES |
