Abstract Organochlorine pesticide residue levels were determined in 221 samples of human adipose tissue from elective surgery in 1969-72 in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Standard electron capture--gas-liquid chromatographic methods were used. The total DDT level was 23.18 ppm; the DDE level was 17.37, the highest yet reported for a general population. Dieldrin and beta BHC levels were also high: 0.35 and 1.29 ppm, respectively. No decrease in storage levels during the study period was detected. There was no difference due to sex, but Mexican-Americans had significantly higher residues of DDE, p,p't-DDT, and dieldrin than did Anglo-Americans. Polychlorinated biphenyls were detected in 15 samples in 1971 but none were detected in the other 3 years.
