Based on the different tectonic backgrounds of the middle Permian in northwest Sichuan Basin, the thrust nappe belt, the hidden front belt, and the depression belt are taken as the research units to comb and compare the geologic conditions of the middle Permian reservoir. The evaluation of source rocks and the comparison of hydrocarbon sources suggest that the middle Permian hydrocarbon mainly comes from the bottom of the lower Cambrian and middle Permian, and the foreland orogeny promoted the thermal evolution of Paleozoic source rocks in northwest Sichuan to high maturity and over maturity stage.

  • Residues of Organochlorine Pesticides in Vegetables from Deyang and Yanting Areas of the Chengdu Economic Region, Sichuan Province, China
    Marsland Press Journal of American Science; 5(4):91-100 Residues of Organochlorine Pesticides in Vegetables from Deyang and Yanting Areas of the Chengdu Economic Region, Sichuan Province, China Odhiambo Joshua Owago1*, Shihua Qi*1, Xing Xinli1, Zhang Yuan1 and Muhayimana Annette Sylvie1 1School of Environmental Studies and MOE Key Laboratory of Biogeology and Environmental Geology, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, 430074, China [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Residual levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were determined in 34 samples of 19 varieties of vegetables collected from selected sites around Deyang city and Yanting County, Southwest China, in June and September 2007. The analytical method included soxhlet extraction with a mixture of dichloromethane and acetone (2:1 vv). Clean-up was done on superposed layers of alumina/silica gel (1:2 v/v) impregnated with concentrated sulfuric acid. The determinations were done using a gas chromatograph with electron capture detector (GC-ECD). The compounds targeted are: isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane or HCHs (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ- HCH or lindane and δ-HCH); isomers/metabolites of dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDTs) namely p,p1-dichloro-diphenyl-dichloroethylene (p,p1-DDE), p,p1-dichloro-diphenyl-dichloroethane ( p,p1-DDD), p,p1- and o,p1-dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane ( p,p1-DDT and o,p1-DDT). The results indicated that all the vegetable samples had some levels of one or more OCPs in them. Residues of DDTs were found in 94.12% while HCHs were in 91.18% of all the samples analyzed indicating high incidence of these xenobiotics in the vegetables from the areas investigated.
