Analysis of organochlorine residues in sediments of mangroves in the Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta and Chengue Bay, Colombian CaribbeanAbstract
En los sedimentos superficiales aledaños al manglar, de cuatro estaciones dentro de la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta y una estación en la Bahía de Chengue, se analizaron las concentraciones de seis residuos de plaguicidas organoclorados (lindano, heptacloro, aldrin, pp'DDE, pp'DDD y pp'DDT), mediante la técnica de cromatografía gas-líquido. Se realizaron muestreos trimestrales entre marzo y diciembre de 1993, tratando de abarcar las principales épocas climáticas de la región (seca, lluviosa menor, seca menor y lluviosa mayor). Mediante análisis de varianza multifactorial se encontraron diferencias significativas solamente en las concentraciones de lindano, heptacloro y pp'DDE, entre las diferentes épocas climática; los otros tres compuestos (aldrin, pp'DDD y pp'DDT) no mostraron diferencias significativas en ninguno de los factores de variación. Las mayores concentraciones de lindano se presentan en la época seca y las de heptacloro y pp'DDE en la lluviosa mayor. Las concentraciones de estos compuestos fueron cotejadas con la salinidad del agua y con el porcentaje de materia orgánica del sedimento y mediante análisis de correlación canónica se logró establecer que solo el pp'DDT está en relación inversa con la materia orgánica del sedimento.Concentrations of six organochlorine pesticide residues (lindane, heptachlor, aldrin, pp'DDE, pp'DDD y pp'DDT) were analized in surface mangrove sediments at four sites at Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta and ¡n one site ¡n Bahía de Chengue, Colombian Caribbean. Analyses were carried out by gas-liquid chromatography. Samples were taken between March and December 1993, corresponding to four climatic seasons (dry, minor rainy, minor dry and major rainy). Significant differences in lindane, heptachlor and pp'DDE concentrations among seasons were determined by multifactorial analysis of variance; the other three compoundslaldrin, pp'DDD an pp'DDT) did not show significant differences for any of the likely sources of variation. Highest concentrations of lindane were in dry season and those of heptaclore and pp'DDE were in rainy season. A canonical correlation was run between the groups formed with organochlorine concentratios and water salinity plus relative organic matter content. The correlation coefficients indícate that only pp'DDT presented a inverse correlation with the percentage of organic matter.
