Organochlorine pesticides in water, sediment, and fish of Paranoá Lake of Brasilia, Brazil.

چکیده
Paranoá Lake is a man-made reservoir, created in 1959 with the city of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. The lake has a surface area of 38 Km 2 and an watershed area of 1046 Km, of which approximately 8% is agricultural. Around 450,000 people live in the catchment area. Contamination of Paranoá Lake and other water systems with organochlorine (OC) insecticides has been reported (Dianese et al., 1976; Ministério da Agricultura, 1979; Gold-Bouchot, 1995), and is mainly due to the runoff of the chemicals applied in agriculture.
