Monitoring of Chloro-Organic Compounds Residues with Analytical Methods at Parks of Bees in Albania

Authors : Fejzo Selami and Kastriot Korro

Abstract: Bees and honeybee products can be contaminated from different sources. The contamination can arise from beekeeping practices or from the environment. They are: the heavy metals lead, cadmium and mercury, radioactive isotopes, organic pollutants, pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and bactericides), pathogenic bacteria and genetically modified organisms. The use of the chloro-organics compunds has began earlier with the pesticide DDT since the years 1930. The presence of the residues of these compounds of synthesis include PCB in all the sectors of the application (industry, agriculture, army and especially in farming on all species up to aquaculture in the same biosphere. The presence of the features of biocumulation in environments as aquatic (sediment, water, invertebrates and vertebrates) has characterized in the following years their limited use in agriculture moreover in open systems. The ability to be acumulated in the fatty tissue at the vertebrates and in the chitinous tissue at the arthropods (including bees) as well as the low speed of degradation of some isomers PCB and metabolites TCDD, DDE, DDD, HCB etc.) characterize the accumulation in the biologic tissues including the chitinous tissue in the concentration of the organisms during the food chain. The signs of the presence of PCB in the presence of the live organisms are numerous. Many sources of literature show the dipendence of the presence of PCB and DDE and some pathological forms before all in the formation of chitina and the rate of reproduction in the bees. The heavy damages are being observed in the parks placed in the vicinity of ex military areas of chemical specialities. These data coincided with the study as well. In the study was taken in consideration taking and analysing of bee samples from the parks near the military areas (they stored and used the chemical substances of the group of chloro-organics in Polican, (Skrapar), Bodar, (Permet) and Linze (Tirane). Researchers were taken for the samples 30 bee per apiary in 10 apiaries for each park altogether 30 samples. The samples were analyzed for the presence of residues of the cholorganics compunds by the means of GC (Gas Chromatography Methods). The results indicated that only the samples taken from the bee parks close to the ex military area of Bodar, Permet apeared trace of the containing of chloro-organics components.
