Developmental and lactational exposure to dieldrin alters mammary tumorigenesis in Her2/neu transgenic mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Western women and while its precise etiology is unknown, environmental factors are thought to play a role. The organochlorine pesticide dieldrin is a persistent environmental toxicant thought to increase the ...

Occurrence and distribution of the cyclodiene-type organochlorine pesticides in soils of Vojvodina province, Serbia [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2016
Aldrin, endrin and dieldrin are highly toxic and persistent cyclodiene-type organochlorine pesticides. Although these compounds have been banned over the last few decades in many countries, they can still be found in the environment, especially ...

Determination of Median Lethal Concentration (LC₅₀) for Endosulfan, Heptachlor and Dieldrin Pesticides to African Catfish, Clarias gariepinus and Their Impact on Its Behavioral Patterns and Histopathological Responses

Toxics, 2021
Pesticides such as endosulfan, heptachlor and dieldrin persist in aquatic environments as a result of their resistance to biodegradation. However, there is no adequate information about the toxicity of endosulfan, heptachlor and dieldrin to the aquatic ...

Modeling desorption kinetics of a persistent organic pollutant from field aged sediment using a bi-disperse particle size distribution [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose With the predicted climate change, it is expected that the chances of river flooding increase. During flood events, sediments will resuspend and when sediments are polluted, contaminants can be transferred to the surrounding water.

Environmental neurotoxin dieldrin induces apoptosis via caspase-3-dependent proteolytic activation of protein kinase C delta (PKCdelta): Implications for neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease

Molecular Brain, 2008
Background In previous work, we investigated dieldrin cytotoxicity and signaling cell death mechanisms in dopaminergic PC12 cells. Dieldrin has been reported to be one of the environmental factors correlated with Parkinson's disease and may selectively ...

Developmental exposure to the organochlorine pesticide dieldrin causes male-specific exacerbation of α-synuclein-preformed fibril-induced toxicity and motor deficits

Neurobiology of Disease, 2020
Human and animal studies have shown that exposure to the organochlorine pesticide dieldrin is associated with increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD).

Phenotypic and transcriptomic effects of developmental exposure to nanomolar levels of pesticides in zebrafish

Environmental Advances, 2022
This study investigates the pesticides atrazine, chlorpyrifos, and dieldrin for endocrine disrupting, phenotypic, and neurobehavioral effects. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to various environmentally relevant concentrations of pesticides during two ...

Chlorinated organic contaminants in breast milk of New Zealand women. [PDF]

, 1994
Breast milk samples from 38 women in New Zealand were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) as part of a World Health Organization ...
