Distribution and risk assessment of suspected endocrine-disrupting pesticides in creek water of Mumbai, India

The present study deals with the investigation of existing pollution levels and potential ecological risk assessment of endocrine-disrupting organochlorine and organophosphorous pesticide residues in the Vasai Creek water near Mumbai. The average concentration of α- and β-endosulfan (137.75ng·L−1) e...

Zusammenfassung:	The present study deals with the investigation of existing pollution levels and potential ecological risk assessment of endocrine-disrupting organochlorine and organophosphorous pesticide residues in the Vasai Creek water near Mumbai. The average concentration of α- and β-endosulfan (137.75ng·L−1) exceeds the chronic criteria level of α- and β-endosulfan (6.5ng·L−1) set by US EPA for freshwater aquatic organisms. The concentration levels of aldrin (75.31ng·L−1), dieldrin (71.19ng·L−1) and endrin (76.60ng·L−1) was found to exceed the respective criteria levels of
