Based on a comprehensive eco-geochemical survey of Shandong Province, the differences in pesticide residue situation and content of DDTs and HCHs in the soils of Yantai City and Southwest Shandong Province (abbreviated as SSP) were studied in this paper. The results showed that the detection rates of DDTs and HCHs in the soil of SSP were apparently higher than Yantai City. However, the mean contents of DDTs and HCHs in the soil of Yantai were 9 and 25 times of SSP% respectively, and higher than the mean contents of many other cities and areas. p%$-DDE was the main pesticide residual form in the soil of SSP. It is recognized as the degradation product of DDTs in oxidation environment in past, nevertheless, 5.52% of the soils in Yantai City still have a little of DDT input recently, which has posed a big impact on soil environment quality. /3-HCH was the main form of the four isomers of HCHs in Yantai City% and a-HCH/y-HCH in SSP was low. These reveal that the residual time of HCHs in the soils of both the two areas has a long period. Ater primary analysis, the risk of DDTs and HCHs in the soil of SSP is low% but DDTs in the soil of Yantai City still has a certain risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
