The concentration and impact of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-ethane (DDT) and its metabolites (DDE: 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethylene) on the environment was expected to decrease after its ban in the mid-1980s. Unfortunately, DDT contamination via its presence as an impurity in dicofol (2,2,2-trichloro-1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol) has led to a new source of contamination. This is particularly true especially in cotton production in Söke Plain, Turkey, where difocol-based pesticides are being used. The aim of this research was to investigate the extent and source of DDT contamination in cotton soils. Söke Plain soil samples were collected from 0–30, 30–60, and 60–90-cm depth and analyzed by GC/MS/MS.o,p′-DDTandp, p′-DDEwere detected at 16.2 % and 17.6 % of the sites in the 0–30-cm depth of soils. In the 30–60 cm,p, p′-DDT(14.9 %),o, p′-DDE(8.1 %) andp, p′-DDE(2.7 %) were found in soil samples, andp, p′-DDTwas the most prevalent with 9.5 % of the sampling sites. The dominant source of DDT particularly in the 60–90-cm depth was due to historic use of DDT. The presence ofp, p′-DDE,o, p′-DDEandp,p′-DDTin the topsoil was attributed to recent dicofol applications.
