Bacterial Bio-Resources for Remediation of Hexachlorocyclohexane [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2012
In the last few decades, highly toxic organic compounds like the organochlorine pesticide (OP) hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) have been released into the environment. All HCH isomers are acutely toxic to mammals. Although nowadays its use is restricted or completely banned in most countries, it continues posing serious environmental and health concerns ...

SERS‐Based Vapor‐Phase Sensing of Hazardous Molecules: Recent Developments and Opportunities

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Since its discovery, SERS has gained rapid attention in molecular detection due to its high sensitivity and trace‐level sensing capabilities. It holds significant features in the detection of molecules in a vapor phase. Recently, vapor‐phase molecular detection has gained extensive importance in human‐associated fields like environmental monitoring ...

Mancozeb impairs the ultrastructure of mouse granulosa cells in a dose-dependent manner [PDF]

, 2018
Mancozeb, an ethylene bis-dithiocarbamate, is widely used as a fungicide and exerts reproductive toxicity in vivo and in vitro in mouse oocytes by altering spindle morphology and impairing the ability to fertilize.

Rethinking Chlorine: Essential Chemical or Replaceable Risk?

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.
Chlorine is essential for the production of plastics and pharmaceuticals but poses significant safety and environmental risks. Herein, processes are presented that substitute chlorine or reduce its demand. Where indispensable, trichloride‐ and bichloride‐based ionic liquids could enhance safety and streamline the integration of renewable energy ...

Pollution, stress response, and obesity: A systematic review

Obesity Reviews, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.
Summary Limited literature addresses the association between pollution, stress, and obesity, and knowledge synthesis on the associations between these three topics has yet to be made. Two reviewers independently conducted a systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection databases to identify studies dealing with the effects of

Anaerobic formation of α-hexachlorocyclohexane from γ-hexachlorocyclohexane in soil and by Escherichia coli

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 1979
In two soil types small amounts of ??-hexachlorocyclohexane were formed from ??-hexachlorocyclohexane under submerged conditions, but not under aerobic conditions. In the submerged soils ??-tetrachlorocyclohexene was detected as a major metabolite of ??-hexachlorocyclohexane, whereas aerobic soil incubation yielded ??-pentachlorocyclohexene.
