Bioavailability of organochlorines in fish

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1991
1. An overview is presented of the process of chemical sorption and membrane permeation that control the bioavailability of organochlorines in natural waters. 2. The mechanisms of membrane permeation and chemical sorption to various types of dissolved and particulate matter is discussed and simple models are presented that can be used to estimate the ...

Organochlorine Pesticides in Antarctica

Nature, 1967
The 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

2014
Organochlorinated 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.

Organochlorine ingestion

Emergency Medicine, 1993
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

1994
Organochlorines, 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.

Organochlorine Pesticides by LC−MS

Analytical Chemistry, 2008
Contamination 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 ...

The Organochlorine Insecticides

1998
DDT 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.

Organochlorines—An overview

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1981
Abstract Mr. Holden is in charge of the Freshwater Fisheries Laboratory at Pitlochry. He has been engaged in freshwater and marine pollution research, particularly on organochlorines, for many years and has organized collaborative studies for both the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Council for the ...
