Organochlorine Pesticides in Antarctica
Nature, 1967The first reports of organochlorine pesticides in wildlife in the vicinity of the US Antarctic base at McMurdo Sound suggested that local human activity might be responsible. Measurements of samples from the British Antarctic Survey Base at Signy Island in the South Orkneys now suggest that there is a world-wide pattern of distribution by means of the ...

Pesticide Residues: Organochlorines
2014Organochlorinated pesticides, such as dichlorodiphenylethanes, hexachlorocyclohexanes, cyclodienes, hexachlorobenzene, chlordecone, and mirex, are persistent lipophilic compounds that tend to bioaccumulate in food chain. Because of their high vapor pressure, they may be transported long distances by air currents.

ABSTRACTA 48 year old man rapidly deteriorated and died following the intentional ingestion of a commercial pesticide mixture containing chlordane and dichloroethyl ether with kerosene as the solvent vehicle.After oral ingestion, chlordane is primarily a neurotoxin. Dichloroethyl ether is a respiratory tract irritant. Both have effects on several other

Organochlorine Contamination in Pinnipeds
1994Organochlorines, such as PCBs and DDT, are ubiquitous contaminants. Most studies reporting concentrations of organochlorines in pinnipeds have investigated ringed, grey, and harbour seals. Very few studies have been carried out on pinnipeds from the southern hemisphere.

The Organochlorine Insecticides
1998DDT is the common name given to the technical mixture of compounds in which the major component is p, p′-DDT [dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane; 2, 2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)- 1, 1, 1 -trichloroethane). Pure p, p′-DDT is a white, tasteless, almost odorless crystalline solid.

Organochlorine Pesticides by LC−MS
Analytical Chemistry, 2008Contamination of water resources by organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) continues to receive widespread attention because of the increasing concern regarding their high persistence and bioaccumulation. These organic pollutants are not amenable by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to atmospheric pressure ionization-mass spectrometry, which represents the ...

Indiscriminate use of different pesticides in agriculture has increased over the years, especially in the developing countries. This influences the aquatic environment to a great extent. This also poses a great danger to freshwater organisms, including fish, which constitute a major share in the aquatic environment and contribute to the economy of the ...
