Objective To find out the contamination of organochlorine pesticide residues and lead in tea in Tongzhou district. Method Pesticide residues of hexachlorocyclohexane ( HCH) ,dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane ( DDT) were determined by gas chromatography and lead was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Results The detection rate of HCH was 92. 1% ; the qualified rate was 2. 9% ; the detection range was < 0. 36-385 μg / kg. The detection rate of DDT was 89. 4% and the majority of them was p,p′-DDT; the detection range was 1. 4-189. 0 μg / kg. The detection rate of lead was 97. 6% . Conclusion It was suggested that the situation of HCH and DDT pesticide residues in tea was not optimistic and the level of lead remained high in Tongzhou district.
