SP -BRAZIL.The great utilization of synthetic and persistent xenobiotic cumulative compounds is the main causes of the deterioration of aquatic ecosystems.The one of objective of this work was the determination of the organochlorine levels in the Piracicaba river basin, situated at the center of São Paulo state.Four PCBs congeners, PCP and HCB were determined by GC-ECD in two different matrices: water and sediments.The pattern of the compound distribution indicated a dominance of PCP, HCB and PCB-200.The results indicated contamination in the sampling points located in Campinas, Piracicaba, Santa Bárbara d'Oeste and Sumaré cities.
