The present study presents the data obtained for organochlorinated pesticides and PCB in the 4 stations near Peja, Kosovo in July 2015. In the selected agricultural areas (stations) soil samples, the upper side of plants and tomato fruit samples were taken for analyze for an area of 1m2. Usage of heavy farm equipment, application of agrochemicals, emissions of industries, etc, all generate a number of pollutants, which after deposition in soil may influence crop quality. Thus, input of these contaminants into the agricultural areas should be carefully monitored. In the analytical method were combined ultrasonic bath extractions assisted by organic solvents, acid hydrolysis and a Florisil column for samples clean-up for soil and biota samples. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the organochlorinated pesticides and PCB in all samples was performed by gas chromatography technique using electron capture detector (GC/ECD). Optima-5 (60m x 0.33mm x 0.25μm) capillary column was used for isolation and determination of organochlorinated pesticides dhe PCB. In all studied samples were found organochlorinated pesticides and PCB. These facts reflect the presence of pesticides because their previous use, bioaccumulation processes, geographical position, slope, soil geology, crop type, irrigation water used, atmospheric depositionin agricultural areas in Kosovo.
