Priyanka, S. P. Roy, A. Nath

Abstract :

 The extensive use of DDT globally in 1940s and successive decades has contaminated the environment which then comes in human blood and tissue through food chain. It has ability to damage human genetic material which further leads to disease like a cancer. The main objective of the present study was to bio–monitor DDT and its metabolites in blood samples of east cancer patients and to evaluate this pesticide as a possible risk factor. DDT and its metabolites were measured in the blood samples of east cancer patients as well as in healthy women. Estimation of DDT and its metabolites were done by Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP– HPLC). In Summary, results obtained from the present study indicate DDT as a possible biomarker for the DDT exposure in Bihar, which may lead to east cancer among women who are professionally or environmentally exposed to this insecticide in this region.a
