Indoor air pollution by lindane and DDT indicated by head hair samples of children.

The use of the pesticides DDT and lindane as wood preservatives causes indoor air contamination and subsequently exposure of the occupants of these rooms. As hair acts as a passive sampler for air contaminants, we tested pesticide concentrations in hair measured by the GC/MS technique. A comparison of the DDT and lindane concentrations in hair samples of 193 pre-school children from a rural area around Rostock with information concerning their home environments showed that this is a suitable method for screening purposes.[1]
