Abstract

This survey was conducted to investigate the presence of organochlorine compounds in chicken fat collected from supermarkets of cities of Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia during May-June, 2005. Few samples of chicken fat collected from Qatif, Dammam and Al-Ahsa were found to contain residues of endosulfan and hepatochlor below the maximum residue limits for fat tissues. Close monitoring of residues is suggested to minimize ingestion of these compounds.
