Abstract:	The paper presents the results of the tests of the milk as raw material and consumption coming from some of the economic units in the Bihor county from the point of view of the contamination with organochlorine pesticides. Qualitative and quantitative determinations have been performed through the gascromatographic method using capillary columns and electrode with electrons capture. The values have been obtained through comparison with a complex standard diluted at 50 ppb. The tests submitted to verification consisted of lactic fat extracts purified through methods specific to determination in fields of ppm-ppb concentrations. The priority was the verification of the incidence of organochlorine compounds under sanitary – veterinary surveillance. After the determinations performed, we discovered, for most of the surveilled compounds, values under the approved limits, except for Endrine.
