CONCLUSIONSAn evaluation <strong>of</strong> selected organochlorine (p,p’-DDT, p,p’-DDE, p,p’-DDD, α, β, γand δ-HCH) residues in the soils was implemented in 2006 in Hanoi city andBacninh province <strong>of</strong> Vietnam. <strong>The</strong> soil samples were collected from agricultureareas as well as from urban areas with an attempt to get them evenly distributed overselected regions. <strong>The</strong> analysed results indicated the wide extent <strong>of</strong> remarkablecontamination <strong>of</strong> DDT’s metabolism and HCH’s isomer in study areas. Assessment<strong>of</strong> composition analyse indicated that there is little recent input <strong>of</strong> DDT and HCH.<strong>The</strong> decreasing trend <strong>of</strong> DDT and HCH levels from 1992 to 2006 is observed.Observations for future research- Continue to research <strong>of</strong> the fate <strong>of</strong> selected OCPs in soil in the study area. Collectsoil samples from different depths to investigate the vertical distribution <strong>of</strong> selectedOCPs. Construct dot maps and raster maps about residual distributions <strong>of</strong> selectedOCPs in the study area as a tool for environmental management.- At present, selected OCPs modeling has received the attention <strong>of</strong> scientists in theworld. Selected OCPs modeling can provide estimates <strong>of</strong> the major pollutionpathways, contamination levels in main environmental compartments and sourcereceptorrelationships. Regarding to the necessity <strong>of</strong> selected OCPs modeling, thisstudy could be continued with time trend variations in different environmentalmedia. <strong>The</strong>se data would be useful for OCPs modeling, such as half life time <strong>of</strong>selected substances in water and air. It will also be useful to assess thecontamination status and to find the relation between selected OCPs in soil, waterand air in the study area.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<strong>The</strong> author would like to thank the Dr Thao Vu Duc and Institute forEcopreneurship, University <strong>of</strong> Applied Sciences North-western Switzerland for theirsupport.REFERENCESAlawi, M., Khalili, F., Daas, K., (1995), “Interaction behavior <strong>of</strong> organochlorinepesticides with dissolved Jordanian humic acid”, Archives <strong>of</strong> EnvironmentalContamination and Toxicology 28, pp. 513–518.Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), 2001.
