Soil-Air exchange controls on background atmospheric concentrations of organochlorine pesticides [PDF]

, 2011
Soils are the major terrestrial reservoir of persistent organic pollutants, and thus net volatilization from soil, when it happens, may exert a control on the atmospheric occurrence and variability of organic pollutants.

Quantifying the importance of the atmospheric sink for polychlorinated dioxins and furans relative to other global loss processes. [PDF]

, 2006
Previous attempts to establish global mass balances for polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) have focused on the terrestrial sink, thereby neglecting deposition to the oceans and atmospheric losses.

Sensing the ortho Positions in C₆Cl₆ and C₆H₄Cl₂ from Cl₂⁻ Formation upon Molecular Reduction

Molecules, 2022
The geometrical effect of chlorine atom positions in polyatomic molecules after capturing a low-energy electron is shown to be a prevalent mechanism yielding Cl2−. In this work, we investigated hexachlorobenzene reduction in electron transfer experiments

Study on Remediation of Hexachlorobenzene Contaminated Soil by Mechanochemical Method [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2021
The mechanochemical method is a potential way to destroy pollutants such as heavy metals and organic compounds due to its advantages such as complete reaction, adaptation of various pollutants and low energy consumption, etc.

Study on the degradation of hexachlorobenzene in contaminated soil by fluidized-bed non-thermal plasma

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022
To study the degradation of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in contaminated soil by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), a fluidized-bed DBD reactor was used to degrade HCB in contaminated soil. The results showed that a discharge current pulse could be generated

The decrease in uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity induced by ethanol predisposes rats to the development of porphyria and accelerates xenobiotic-triggered porphyria, regardless of hepatic damage

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002
We evaluated the porphyrinogenic ability of ethanol (20% in drinking water) per se, its effect on the development of sporadic porphyria cutanea tarda induced by hexachlorobenzene in female Wistar rats (170-190 g, N = 8/group), and the relationship with ...

Role of "Dehalococcoides" spp. in the anaerobic transformation of Hexachlorobenzene in European rivers [PDF]

, 2011
The diffuse pollution by chlorinated organic compounds in river basins is a concern, due to their potential adverse effects on human health and the environment.

Serum organochlorines and urinary porphyrin pattern in a population highly exposed to hexachlorobenzene

Environmental Health, 2002
Background Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is caused by hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in several species of laboratory mammals, but the human evidence is contradictory.

Angiotensin II type 1 receptor is involved in hypertension and vascular alterations caused by environmental toxicant hexachlorobenzene

Toxicology Reports, 2021
Environmental hexachlorobenzene (HCB) increases blood pressure (BP) in female rats, causing alterations in arterial structure and function. Here we study the role of Angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) in HCB-induced hypertension through the use of AT1 ...
