Current species protection does not serve its porpoise—Knowledge gaps on the impact of pressures on the Critically Endangered Baltic Proper harbour porpoise population, and future recommendations for its protection

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
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]

open access: yesAssiut University Bulletin for Environmental Researches, 2004
: 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

Association between pancreatic adenocarcinoma risk and concentration of organochlorine pesticides in adipose tissue and urine: A targeted‐screening analysis case‐control study (PESTIPAC)

open access: yesUnited European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 12, Issue 7, Page 951-959, September 2024.
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

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 4, Page 736-747, April 2024.
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.

Effects of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) on survival and edibility of loaches in the World Heritage Honghe Hani Rice Terraces, China

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2019
A new rice-loach co-culture system was introduced into the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces (HHRT), China, to promote sustainable development of this World Heritage region. However, little is known about the survival of loaches in this area and whether they are

A review on pesticides degradation by using ultraviolet light treatment in agricultural commodities

open access: yeseFood, Volume 5, Issue 1, February 2024.
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

open access: yes, 2018
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).

open access: yes, 1993
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

Dietary exposure assessment of organochlorine pesticides in two commonly grown leafy vegetables in South-western Nigeria

open access: yesHeliyon, 2019
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are persistent pesticides whose usage have been banned or restricted worldwide and the presence of its residues in vegetables could affect its nutritional quality as well cause adverse health effects.

Associations between serum persistent organic pollutants and type 2 diabetes in a multipollutant analysis using repeated measurements in the Tromsø Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Health
IntroductionPersistent organic pollutants (POPs) occur as correlated mixtures, and serum concentrations may vary over time due to changes in exposure and toxicokinetic processes.
