ABSTRACT
Thirty random samples of blood were taken for pesticide determination from three different laboratories in Karachi. Almost all the samples reported here were found contaminated with organochlorine [OC] compounds. However, samples obtained from 2 centres were found to have more pesticides. Workers deputed to chlorination plants [i.e. third centre] have greater quantity of tenakil and other OC compounds. Among all the samples analysed, only a few were found to have deltamethrin [pyrethroid] and malathion [organophosphate] possibly because of fresh exposure
