Abstract
The problem of the distribution and toxicology of pesticides in the organism was the subject of many studies and experimental work in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the risk of poisoning with high doses of preparations used for crop protection was high. This situation led to a prohibition of the use of persistent organic chlorine compounds and of other classes of pesticides; nevertheless, the concentration of these compounds has increased in the biological fluids of animals and humans. We reviewed papers published in international and Italian journals during the last 10 years regarding organochlorine residues in Italy, and on the basis of the data available residue levels were correlated to their distribution in some human tissues where their amount was found to be significant.
