Abstract
The concentration levels of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticide residues in agriculture soils from paddy field were successfully investigated. Residues were isolated using the Soxhlet extraction method, following a clean-up process (SPE Florosil) and a final determination of targeted compounds performed by using a gas chromatography electron capture detector.
