Abstract
Organochlorine pesticide residues were analyzed by capillary gas chrom atography-electron capture detection (GC-ECD) on 101 Galician (NW Spai n) honey samples. Of the 101 honey samples, 13 were free from detectab le residues. The pesticides found were HCH (isomers other than lindane ) present in 47 samples (trace to 161 mug/kg), lindane in 57 samples ( trace to 59 mug/kg), heptachlor in 29 samples (trace to 57 mug/kg) ald rin in 36 samples (1 to 150 mug/kg), dieldrin in 9 samples (trace to 1 3 mug/kg), endrin in 1 sample (7 mug/kg), op'DDT in 7 samples (1 to 12 mug/kg), pp'DDT in 18 samples (1 to 61 mug/kg) and methoxychlor in 11 samples (19 to 593 mug/kg).
