Popis: Residues of organochlorine insecticides were extracted from several water bodies, including irrigation canal, main drain, collector drains, brackish water of Bitter lake, and tap water around Ismailia, Egypt. Hexachloro cyclohexane (HCH) isomers were the most prevailing compounds detected. Highest residue concentration was detected in collector drains. Residues have shown an inductive effect on mitochondrial ATPase extracted from gills, liver and brain of Bolti fish Tilapia niloticus. Ouabrain, the potent Na‐K‐ATPase inhibitor has cancelled out the inductive effect residues inflected on gills and brain ATPase. The toxicity of the different organochlorine extracts to 3 rd instar larvae of Culex pipiens pipiens varied according to the source of residue.
