        <p>The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of organic pollution of EL-Mahmodia canal on the fish (<italic>Oreochromis </italic><italic>niloticus</italic>)muscles tissues collected from two sites at EL-Mahmodia canal in summer and winter 2017. EL-Mahmodia canal is exposed to excessive of effluents which impact fish. The present results showed high concentrations of organic pollutants, particularly in winter.  Organic pollutants were analyzed using the             gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A variety of environmental screening studies concerning varieties of water pollutants in Egypt, the target of the present study was to scan the organic pollutants of El-Mahmodia stream at El-Beheira Governorate, Egypt within the muscles of Tilapia fish. Within the present study, it was found that; the analysis of fish muscles in summer season showed a high level of organic pollutants. The organic pollutants that are reported in the muscle of fish in the polluted site were reported as; Dimethomorph-(E), Hexestrol, Diisobutyl phthalate, Diamyl phthalate, Di-n-propyl phthalate, Chlorpyrifos, Phorate sulfoxide, Exaltolide (15-Pentadecanolide),  Chlorfenapyr,  Pyridate, Ethofumesate, Bis               (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, Dicyclohexyl phthalate,  Di-n-octyl phthalate, Tricresylphosphate, meta-, XMC (3,               4-Dimethylphenyl N-methyl, XMC (3,5-Dimethylphenyl N-methyl, Hexestrol, Thymol, Kinoprene, Diisobutyl phthalate, Diisobutyl phthalate, Di-n-hexyl phthalate, Di-n-hexyl phthalate, Carbofuran-3-keto, Tefluthrin,                cis-, Carbofuran-7-phenol, Carbofuran, Dicyclohexyl phthalate, Di-n-propyl phthalate, Di-n-propyl phthalate, Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, Ethofumesate, Hexestrol, Kinoprene, Di-n-hexyl phthalate, Exaltolide                                  (15-Pentadecanolide), Spiroxamine metabolite (4-tert-b), Chlorfenapyr, Tricresylphosphate, para,  Tricresylphosphate, meta-, Tricresylphosphate, ortho-, XMC (3, 5-Dimethylphenyl N-methyl, XMC                           (3,4-Dimethylphenyl N-methyl, Fluroxypyr-1-methylheptyl ester, Cashmeran, Propargite metabolite (Cyclohexa), and Quinoclamine. The present results showed that Diisobutyl phthalate, Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, Pyridate and  Ethofumesate   were detected in winter season in the polluted site, whereas, Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and Pyridate were the only organic pollutants that were found in winter in the reference site.

The accumulation patterns of organic pollutants in the polluted site in winter in the muscles of <italic>O. </italic><italic>niloticus</italic>, were in the following order: Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate&gt; Pyridate&gt; Ethofumesate, whereas in the reference site it was; Bis                        (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate&gt; Pyridate.</p>

        <title>GC-MS Running Conditions</title>
        <p>Extracts and recovery samples (2 µl) were analyzed using the GC-MS equipped with a Varian 8200 auto sampler. An HP-5MS capillary column (30 m X 0.53 mm i.d. 0.25 um film thickness) was used to separate the components. Helium was used as the carrier gas. Separation conditions were as the following: initial column temperature set at 80° C for 6 min. It was increased to 215° C at 15° C/min (hold for 1 min), then to 230° C at 5° C/min and finally to 290° C at 5° C/min (hold for 2 min). The carrier gas was at a constant flow rate of 1.1 ml/min. The GC-MS was controlled by a computer system, which has EI-MS libraries (PEST spectral library). The target compounds were identified by their full mass spectra scans and retention time using the total ion current as a monitor to give a Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC). The use of the full scan mode allowed the contrast of the spectrum of obtained compounds with the EI-MS library <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ridm1842930612">6</xref>. </p>

      <p>From the above cited table; results showed that Diisobutyl phthalate, Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, Pyridate and  Ethofumesate   were detected in winter season organic pollutant in the polluted site, whereas, Bis              (2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, and Pyridate were the only organic pollutants that were found in winter in the reference site. The authors recommend that fishing in winter is better than that of summer and that fishing from the reference site is preferred. <xref ref-type="table" rid="idm1849130348">Table 2</xref> and <xref ref-type="table" rid="idm1841172684">Table 3</xref>.</p>

      <p>From the above cited table it is concluded that; the order of the % of organing pollutants which were found in summer in the muscle of fish collected from the polluted site followed the order of: Chlorpyrifos&gt; Diamyl phthalate&gt; Diisobutylphthalate&gt; Di-n-butylphthalate&gt; Diamyl phthalate&gt; Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, whereas in the reference site in summer, it was Chlorpyrifos&gt; Chlorfenapyr&gt; Di-n-butylphthalate&gt; Diisobutylphthalate&gt; Hexestrol&gt; Di-nhexyl phthalate. The accumulation patterns of organic pollutants in the polluted site in winter in the muscles of <italic>O. </italic><italic>niloticus</italic>, were in the following order: Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate&gt; Pyridate&gt; Ethofumesate, whereas in the reference site it was; Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate&gt; Pyridate.</p>

      <title>Conclusion</title>
      <p>In EL-Behira Governorate, pesticides are used along a large scale; organochlorine and                organophosphate are persistent pesticides which leave residues in drinking water that remain for days to many years. Organophosphates are found in high rate in the stream, Chloropyrifos as an Organophosphates pesticides was found in the stream water. The current study revealed that the water quality of El-Mahmodia canal is contaminated with elevated levels of organic pollutants: pesticides, plasticizers, plant residues compared to standard safety permissible guidelines. </p>
