Organochlorine (OC) pesticide residues in poled water of pady field samples of Prakasam District have ben investigated to find out the extent of pesticide contamination and acumulation. Colected Water samples were procesed using a liquid-liquid extraction folowed by Gas-Chromatographic technique for pesticide residue quantification with mass selective detector (GC-MS).

Groundwater pollution due to anthropogenic activities may impact overall groundwater quality. Organic and inorganic pollutants have been routinely detected at unsafe levels in groundwater rendering this important drinking water resource practically unusable. Vulnerability of groundwater pollution and subsequent impact has been documented in various studies across the globe. Field studies as well as mathematical models have demonstrated increasing levels of pollutants in both shallow and deep aquifer systems.

The objective of the study was to describe the attitudes, beliefs, and practices of U.S. obstetricians on the topic of prenatal environmental exposures.
