Space Distribution of Some Organoclorated Pesticides (Difenil) Aliphatic) in Surface Sediments of The Oriental Sector of The Gulf of Cariacus, Venezuela
Keywords:
Pesticides, sediments, DDT, gulfAbstract
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is recognized as the most useful insecticide for the control of malaria, yellow fever and other diseases transmitted by insects. This compound enters the environment due to its use as a pesticide; whereas, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) enter the ecosystem as a product of the degradation of DDT. Therefore, it was proposed to determine the concentration and spatial distribution of p, p`-DDT, p, p`- DDD and p, p`- DDE in superficial sediments of the eastern sector of the Gulf of Cariaco, Venezuela.
