Pesticides and breast cancer risk: a review of DDT, DDE, and dieldrin. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2001 Established risk factors for breast cancer explain breast cancer risk only partially. Hence, there has been interest in evaluating what role environmental chemicals, especially those with evidence of being hormonally active agents, play in breast cancer ...

Reducing uncertainty in dose-response assessments by incorporating Bayesian benchmark dose modeling and in vitro data on population variability. [PDF]
Risk AnalAbstract There are two primary sources of uncertainty in the interpretability of toxicity values, like the reference dose (RfD): estimates of the point of departure (POD) and the absence of chemical‐specific human variability data. We hypothesize two solutions—employing Bayesian benchmark dose (BBMD) modeling to refine POD determination and combining ...

A Dieldrin Case Study: Another Evidence of an Obsolete Substance in the European Soil Environment
Agriculture, 2021 Soil constitutes a central environmental compartment that, due to natural and anthropogenic activities, is a recipient of several contaminants. Among them, organochlorine pesticides are of major concern, even though they have been banned decades ago in ...

Level of Organochlorine Pesticide in Prediabetic and Newly Diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Varying Degree of Glucose Intolerance and Insulin Resistance among North Indian Population [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2021 Background Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) exposure may induce an endocrine disruption which may lead to the risk of developing diabetes through alteration and disturbance of glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, and destruction of β-cells.

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 152, Issue 5, Page 879-912, 1 March 2023., 2023 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.

mibPOPdb: An online database for microbial biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants
iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 This study presents the Microbial Biodegradation of Persistent Organic Pollutants Database (mibPOPdb) database, a web‐accessible literature‐based microbial biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) resource. We also developed a robust chemical biodegradability prediction model with Graph Neural Networks.

The effects of acute toxicity of dieldrin on HeLa Cell Line: An In Vitro assessment
International Journal of Environmental Health Engineering, 2023 Aim: Among environmental pollutants, there is a great concern about organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) due to their environmental persistence, accumulation in the food chain, detection in breast milk, and their ability to accumulate in adipose tissues. Due

Toxicological Sciences, 2020 Organochlorine pesticides, once widely used, are extremely persistent and bio-accumulative in the environment. Epidemiological studies have implicated that environmental exposure to organochlorine pesticides including dieldrin is a risk factor for 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 ...
