Water samples from the Ganga River between Buxar and Rajmahal in Bihar, India were analyzed to estimate the presence of HCHs, DDTs, aldrin and endosulfan. The concentrations of DDTs. HCHs, aldrin and endosulfan in the river water were found between 0.019 and 1.663 mu g/liter; 0.189 and 2.597 mu g/liter; ND and 0.8 mu g/liter; ND and 0.862 mu g/liter; respectively. The concentration of these organochlorines exceeded the permissible limits recommended by USEPA (United States Environment Protection Agency).
