Summary:To study the contents of organochlorine pesticides in human bodies and residues in serum of populations with non-occupational exposure as well as to study the relationship between organochlorine pesticides in foodstuff and residues levels in serum. A cross-section study was conducted. 107 men and 142 women who were all healthy and living in the communities were investigated from Mar. 2004 to Jul. 2004. Level of daily food exposure was estimated through questionnaires while DDTs and HCHs serum levels were detected by EC-ECD. The relationship between organochlorine pesticides contents in foods and residues in serum were analyzed by ridge regression. Fresh fish was positively correlated to men's serum level of beta-HCH and p,p'-DDT (beta = 0.1266 and beta = 0.0595) while vegetables and fruits were negatively correlated to women's serum level of beta-HCH (beta = -0.1066). Soybean was negatively correlated to women's serum level of p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDT (beta = -0.0965 and 3 = -0.0581). Alcohol consumption was neg
