OBJECTIVE： To establish a method for the detecting of organochlorine pesticide residues in 72 Chinese herbal medicine tablets. METHODS： The column was Agilent HP-5 elastic quartz capillary column， detector was 63Ni source electron capture detector， the inlet temperature was 250 ℃ and the detector temperature was 300 ℃， temperature programmed， carrier gas was high-purity nitrogen，flow rate of carrier gas was 1 ml/min，and the injection volume was 5 μl， splitless injection. RESULTS：The linear range were 0.01-0.20 5 μg/ml for α-BHC、β-BHC、γ-BHC、δ-BHC、PP′ -DDE、OP′ -DDT、PP′ -DDD、PP′ -DDT（r were 0.999 5，0.996 4，0.999 6，0.993 7，0.999 3，0.999 7，0.999 1，0.998 3）；Limit of quantitation were 0.015，0.02，0.01，0.02，0.01，0.01，0.02，0.62 μg/ml； RSDs of precision， stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 3.0％； recovery was 71.2％-109.2％，RSD was 4.2％-9.8％（n＝9）. The overall detection rate of the organochlorine pesticides was 66.7％， and the overall compliance rate was 87.5％. CONCLUSIONS：The method is simple with good precision， stability and reproducibility， and can be used for the detection of organochlorine pesticide residues in Chinese herbal medicine tablets.
