- Abstract
The article focuses on a research study to determine Organochiorine Pesticide Residue in Soils from Tibet, China. The purpose of this investigation is to study the distribution of HCH, DDT and its derivatives in the soils from Tibet. Volatilization from reservoirs of accumulation, including soils, may be a significant source of the "old" pesticides to the atmosphere for decades after their usage have been banned. It was reported that cycles of volatilization, aerial transport, and deposition had led to a migration of organo chlorine pesticides to lower temperature and polar regions.
