Degradation of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid in Woody Plants [PDF]
Woody plants were sprayed with an aqueous homogenate of the n-butyl ester of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Leaf extracts were studied by gas-liquid chromatography, and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol was always present. The formation of 2,4,5-trichloroanisole apparently did not occur.

We determined the degradation rates of the herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T by two different bacterial communities. One of these originated from soil heavily contaminated with herbicides from Bien Hoa airbase, the other from the same soil but amended with ...

Abstract Knowledge of the role in cancer etiology of environmental exposures as pesticides is a prerequisite for primary prevention. We review 63 epidemiological studies on exposure to pesticides and cancer risk in humans published from 2017 to 2021, with emphasis on new findings, methodological approaches, and gaps in the existing literature.

A Guideline Value for Dioxin‐Like Compounds in Marine Sediments
Abstract Sediments to be dredged as part of the installation of a harbor crossing in Sydney, Australia, contained measurable concentrations of dioxin‐like compounds. To assess the suitability of these sediments for ocean disposal, a defensible sediment quality guideline value (SQGV) for dioxin‐like compounds, expressed as pg toxic equivalent (TEQ)fish ...

Abstract Background In silico methods for toxicity prediction have increased significantly in recent years due to the 3Rs principle. This also applies to predicting reproductive toxicology, which is one of the most critical factors in pesticide approval.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Enantioenriched (R)‐ and (S)‐Aryloxyalkanoic Herbicides
A versatile and sustainable approach to one of the most commonly employed families of herbicides has been developed, which is based on a biocatalytic reductive dehalogenation followed by simple chemical manipulations. A range of commercially relevant target molecules have been obtained in good yield and moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (to ...

Applications of surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy in environmental detection
Abstract As the human population grows, the anthropogenic impacts from various agricultural and industrial processes produce unwanted contaminants in the environment. The accurate, sensitive and rapid detection of such contaminants is vital for human health and safety.

Impact of the Aversive Effects of Drugs on Their Use and Abuse
Drug use and abuse are complex issues in that the basis of each may involve different determinants and consequences, and the transition from one to the other may be equally multifaceted. A recent model of the addiction cycle (as proposed by Koob and his colleagues) illustrates how drug‐taking patterns transition from impulsive (acute use) to compulsive

Fine root production in a chronosequence of mature reforested mangroves
Summary Mangroves are among the world’s most carbon‐dense ecosystems, but have suffered extensive deforestation, prompting reforestation projects. The effects of mangrove reforestation on belowground carbon dynamics are poorly understood. In particular, we do not know how fine root production develops following mangrove reforestation, despite fine root

Differentiation of shoot elements from the rachis of Secale cereale L.
In vitro culture of young Secale cereale spikes is described with special attention given to changes in development of the rachis. 7 mm explants were cultivated on a modified M u r a s h i g e and S k o o g (1962) medium (MS) supplemented with 2,4-D ...
