Baihua Lake, a man-made reservoir located in a typical plateau karstic area, is one of the five drinking water sources for Guiyang city. In the present research, the organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in the muscle tissues of six fish species collected from Baihua Lake were estimated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) . The total concentration of OCPs ranged from 2.83 to 94.25 ng g-1 (dry weight), and that of PCBs ranged from ND to 4.78 ng g-1. p,p’-DDD, p,p’-DDE, γ-HCH and PCB28 were detected in the majority of the samples. However the biomagnifications of OCPs and PCBs were not significant in the selected fish from the lake.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can still be a problem for the aquatic environment. Fish species are a suitable indicator for the environmental pollution monitoring because they concentrate pollutants in their tissues directly from water. Concentrations of PCBs were measured in marine fish, collected from Bulgarian Black Sea coast in order to monitor the dynamics of these pollutants in 2007, 2010 and 2015. The fish species: goby (Neogobius melanostomus), sprat (Sprattus sprattus sulinus), horse mackerel (Trachurus Mediterraneus ponticus) and grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) were chosen because of their characteristic feeding behavior. The PCBs were determined by gas chromatography system with mass spectrometry detection. The Total PCBs ranged from 93.8 to 513.3 ng/g lipid weight (in grey mullet and goby, respectively). Levels of PCBs in goby and grey mullet decreased in 2010 and 2015. In order to assess the safety of fish as food were calculated TEQ. They are determined by the results of dioxin - like (dl) PCBs. TEQs were calculated from 0.01 to 0.04 pg TEQ/g ww and did not exceed the EC limit of 3 pg TEQ/g ww. The levels of PCBs in fish from Bulgarian Black Sea were comparable to those found in neighboring seas.

Long term pollution of selected aquatic resources of Vojvodina with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) and organochlorine pesticides (OCP's) has led to high degree of bioaccumulation of the above chemicals along the food chain. This paper documents the bioaccumulation in two fish species commonly found in rivers and canals of Vojvodina, common carp (Cyprinus Carpio) and pike (Exos lucinus). Samples offish, sediment and water were collected from the Danube, Sava and Tisa rivers and a fish farm “Ečka” which is supplied with water from the river Tisa and river Begej. All samples were analysed by highly sensitive capillary column GC using EC detectors. Samples were analysedfor aspectrum of compounds and are presented here as total PCB's and OCP's. The results show that the studied compounds are present in water samples at very low concentrations (PCB's in concentrations at or below the limit of detection, OCP's in concentrations below the legally allowable concentrations by Yugoslav norms). The sediment samples contain the studied compounds at significantly higher concentrations but still within the expectable range. Fish tissue contained elevated concentrations, and especially so the tissue of the top predator in the food chain, the Pike, showing that bioaccumulation has occurred. Of special concern are the extremely high concentrations of PCB's in the tissue of fish samples collected from river Sava indicating the still existing effects of pollution by PCB's in the watershed of the river Sava.
