Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were investigated in surface sediments and seawater from three major estuaries at Cirebon coastal water, West Java Province, Indonesia. Total concentrations of OCPs in seawater and sediment varied from 10 to 120 ng/L (32 ± 36 ng/L) and 1.5 to 17 ng/g dw (mean of 7.4 ± 4.0 ng/g dw), respectively. OCPs concentrations in Sukalila estuary were higher than those detected in Bondet and Kejawan estuaries. The drins group was the predominant OCPs contaminant in seawater and sediment samples. Historical application of DDT, recent use of 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE), and application of technical hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) are significant sources of DDTs and HCHs, respectively. The concentrations of γ-HCH and heptachlor epoxide in marine sediment elevated the value of Threshold Effect Limit (TEL) in 48% of the total study stations but lowered the value of Probable Effect Limit (PEL), suggesting that they ocassionally trigger adverse effects on benthic organisms.
