Chlorinated hydrocarbons: oxidation in the biosphere

Environmental Science & Technology, 1982
The review explores the limitations imposed on the biological oxidation of some synthetic compounds, as determined from recent studies with enzymes which catalyze the oxidation of aromatic compounds. Examples are furnished of ways in which existing metabolic pathways can adapt to degrade, or partially degrade, a number of widely used synthetic ...

Chlorinated Hydrocarbons in British Wildlife

Nature, 1967
Polychlorobiphenyl compounds have been detected in British wildlife. In birds' livers and eggs they are often in greater quantities than organochlorine pesticide residues. Polychlorobiphenyls are known to be toxic, and their detection in wildlife raises the question of the adverse effect they may have.

Chlorinated Hydrocarbons in Birds and Mammals

1983
The loss of raptor birds and in particular the peregrine falcon during the use of chlorinated hydrocarbons as pesticides has led to discussion of the means by which these compounds produced their effects. The effect of thinning the egg shells is well known and this may have been the major contribution to the change in reproductive capacity.

PYROLYSIS AND CHLORINATION OF SMALL HYDROCARBONS

Chemical Engineering Communications, 1992
The bases of the kinetic modeling of Chlorine containing systems are addressed in this article A kinetic scheme, involving more than 300 elementary reactions and 46 molecular and radicalic species, has been developed based on general thermochemical kinetic theories as well as the consolidated know-how in the field of hydrocarbon pyrolysis Several ...

Combustion of Chlorinated Hydrocarbons

2000
Combustion of chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHC) is of practical interest as controlled incineration represents an effective treatment option for the management of toxic and hazardous wastes (1, 2). Considerable knowledge now exists on the oxidation and pyrolysis of chlorinated hydrocarbons as a result of extensive research done over the past several ...

Chlorinated hydrocarbons and pyrethrins/pyrethroids

2011
Chlorinated hydrocarbons have lesser mammalian toxicity compared to organophosphate or carbamate insecticides; however, the former are not readily degradable under environmental conditions. As the usage of many chlorinated hydrocarbons has diminished in many parts of the world, synthetic pyrethroids have often served as replacements and are becoming ...

The Electrical Conductivity of Chlorinated Hydrocarbons

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Part III: Power Apparatus and Systems, 1957
A series of experiments on chloroform and chlorobenzene of unusual purity have shown that the d-c conductance of liquid semi-insulators depends in a complicated way upon the impurities present (including air) and upon the material of the cell electrodes.
