Microlayer water, mixed layer water, epipellic and benthic sediments were collected from Tarkwa Bay end of Lagos Lagoon to analyse for chlorinated pesticide residues. Sampling was conducted between December 2008 and September 2009 during the dry and wet seasons to study effects of seasonal variation on the samples. Water samples were subjected to liquid-liquid extraction using dichloromethane...
