The Critically Endangered Baltic Proper harbour porpoise population is likely still decreasing in size due to an exceeded limit for anthropogenic mortality, the high concentrations of contaminants in the Baltic Sea, reductions in prey availability, and increases in underwater noise.

DETECTION OF ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN SAMPLES OF COW MILK COLLECTED FROM SOHAG AND QENA GOVERNORATES [PDF]
: Organochlorine pesticides have been used extensively especially in tropical countries in malaria control programs as well as control of agricultural pests. However, much of the food we eat contain pesticide residues. Analysis of organochlorine

Abstract Background Knowledge about environmental pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) risk factors, including pesticide exposure, remains limited. Organochlorine (OC) accumulates in adipose tissue and can help reflect long‐term exposure. Patients and Methods Age and body mass index (BMI) of patients with PA were matched with those undergoing a surgery for a

Exposure to Persistent Organic Pollutants in Australian Waterbirds
Abstract There is growing worldwide recognition of the threat posed by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to wildlife populations. We aimed to measure exposure levels to POPs in a Southern Hemisphere aquatic waterbird species, the nomadic gray teal (Anas gracilis), which is found across Australia.

A review on pesticides degradation by using ultraviolet light treatment in agricultural commodities
The review focus on the mechanism of pesticide degradation in food communities using ultraviolet (UV) light. Since is a nonthermal technique, it can preserve the quality of the foods compared to other thermal methods, which would benefit the consumers.

Heptachlor degradation characteristics of a novel strain and its application
With heptachlor as the sole carbon source, an effective heptachlor-degrading microorganism (named strain H) was isolated from the sludge of heptachlor-polluted sewage of a chemical plant, via enrichment, screening and purification.

Metabolism and embryotoxicity of heptachlor in the albino rat (Rattus norvegicus).
Heptachlor fed to female rats at 120 mg/kg b.w. was metabolized in the body. The parent molecule and its 4 metabolites were detected in different tissues. GC and TLC analyses showed higher levels of toxic epoxide in the reproductive organs, and the concn
