This study was carried out on soil samples collected from Damascus country side (Alghota – Jesrin), in order to study the impact of organochlorine insecticides resulted from heavy use for a long time. The duration of experiment was ١١ monthes covering four season condition. Samples were taken from two levels, the surface (١٠ cm) and the deep levels (٣٠-٤٥ cm). Soil samples were extracted by acetone, hexane and chloroform solvents. Residues were detected by using GC.

The Barada River and the ground waters of Damascus Gouta are considered as a source for irrigation and for increasing the fertility of the soil since the very old times. But, the concentrate on the rabid agricultural and industrial development led to the aggravation of the water shortage problem and its contamination by pesticides, chemical pollutants and pathogens microbes. Therefore, this led to the exposition of the plantations, livestock and human health risks. This study aims to the estimation of the remaining effect of the pesticides and the definition of the concentration of some hazardous heavy metals as well as the study of numerical changes of the pathological bacteria and parasites in the waters of the Barada River tributaries and the ground waters in the Damascus Gouta under different climatic conditions around the year. This study also defines the potential health hazards related to such a contamination as well as putting forward some necessary proposals and recommendations for protecting the public health and environmental safety in Damascus and its countryside.
This research aimed to study the theoretical basis of the pollutant migration to the aquifer and to carry out some experiments concerning the migration of some kinds of pesticides in order to calculate the related coefficients. Hence, the research concentrates on testing the basic methods of migration to the ground waters, finding the physico – chemical reactions between pollutants and aquifer and finding the differential equations which express the movements to the ground waters which can be applied on the experimental data. It also, includes the mechanism study of pollutant migrations through the unsaturated layer is regarded as a passage of the pollutants to the ground waters, and the experimental methods of the calculation of the basic migration coefficient.
In this research, 66 samples of tomatoes were collected from vegetables central market in Darr´aa city during the period extended between 20 October/2009 - 4 October/2010) to investigate the presence of 26 pesticide residues which belong to differ ent chemical classes using Gas Chromatography instruments equipped with μECD, FPD, MSD detectors. QuEChERS extraction method was used for residue extraction from tomato samples. The detectors linearity and pesticide detection limits were determined for every pesticide studied, and the recovery for all pesticides ranged from 90.6 for fenvalerate to 105.5% for propargite. Results showed that 56.1% of tomato samples contained detectable residues and Chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin were the most detected pesticides, while amounts of propargite, methamidofos, cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos were the largest detected and mounted to 0.99, 0.15, 0.015, 0.012 mg/kg respectively as a median values. Residues of methamidofos in only 2 samples were above the European MRLs.,
Study was conducted at Hama on summer ١٩٩٨ to determine the Persistence of two pesticides, the Organophosphorus Dimethoate, and the Pyrethroid Deltamethrin, on the Grapes.
A Study was carried out to evaluate the impact of some insecticide. The results showed that no effects on growth of the studied fungi were observation when Deltamethrin and Chlorpyrifos were used by the low concentration.
