Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study assessed the ecotoxicological effects of treated sewage on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, integrating biochemical, energetic, and behavioral biomarkers. Planarians were exposed for 48 h to different concentrations of treated sewage (12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) and compared to controls using commercial water and water from

Reductive lindane degradation with tea extracts in aqueous phase
, 2019 Lindane is a persistent organochlorine pesticide (OCP) that is chemically stable, and has high lipid solubility. These characteristics allow it to bioaccumulate through the food chain, and therefore its presence in the environment is of great concern. An

Biodegradation of Lindane and Lignocellulose by Microbial Community
, 2010 In order to investigate the capability of degradation lindane and lignocellulose of a microbial community, the gas chromatography(GC) was used to determine the concentration of lindane. After 18 days cultured, lindane reduced 6.25% more than the control.

Satire and Silence under Authoritarian Rule: Cotton and Pesticide Perceptions in Tajikistan
Journal of Agrarian Change, Volume 26, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Over the past 70 years, agricultural chemicals have become a mainstay of cotton farming in Central Asia. This growing reliance on agrochemicals has not remained uncontested. This article analyses the politics of pesticides in Soviet and post‐Soviet Tajikistan by examining how, and to what extent, pesticides have featured in graphic satire, an ...

GABAergic modulation of lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane)-induced seizures
, 2022 The main objective of this work was to study the role of the GABAergic system on the convulsions elicited by the organochlorine insecticide lindane. The concentration of lindane in rat brain at the onset of the first tonic convulsion was taken as the ...
