Organochlorine Compounds in the Environment
Recent pollution by organochlorine compounds (OCs) has been found to cause ecological damage, initially by causing declining populations. Poisoning of animals having high OC levels was often found to be similar to poisoning of man and animals in dioxin accidents.

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

Association of brain heptachlor epoxide and other organochlorine compounds with lewy pathology. [PDF]
BackgroundOrganochlorine pesticides are associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. A preliminary analysis from the Honolulu-Asia Aging Study suggested that heptachlor epoxide, a metabolite from an organochlorine pesticide extensively used ...

Association between biomarkers of exposure to persistent organochlorine compounds (POCs). [PDF]
Serum concentrations of CB-153 and pp'-DDE were assessed for 354 men and women from the Swedish Fishermen's Families Cohort, and were found to correlate very well (Pearson's r = 0.72).
