Abstract
Residues of chlorinated pesticides, HCB [hexachlorobenzene], .alpha.-, .beta.-, .gamma.-, .delta.-, .epsilon.-BHC isomers, heptachlor epoxide, DDE and DDT isomers in bilateral testicular biopsy material were determined in GLC with electron capture detector (ECD). The average levels of chlorinated pesticide residues occurring in 36 men were presented. .alpha.-, .delta.-BHC and p,p''-DDE were observed in most samples. Other compounds were observed in lower percentages; o,p''-DDT and p,p''-DDT were not detected.
