Almost all the PTS chemicals being lipophilic, non-degradable and not easily excreted from animal bodies were not found in considerable concentrations in the animal excreta like feces and urine. The only study by Singh et al. (2004) on impact assessment of sewage treatment plants on the environmental quality of the waste disposal area in Varanasi and Kanpur, two big cities in India showed that the mean values of HCHs and DDTs in the urine samples of the people in the exposed area were higher than those living in unexposed areas, the levels being lower than those in blood of the same subjects. Other than these, we could not find any other data available in the published literature on the levels of PTS in Indian human urine or feces. 

M. Venkat Ram Reddy, born in 1967, received his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India. Later, he worked with Nobel Laureate Professor Herbert C.
