Modified QuEChERS methodology for the analysis of OCs and PCBs in liver and its application in wild birds (white stork, red kite, and griffon vulture)

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science
This study aimed to adapt and validate the QuEChERS method for extracting and purifying 19 persistent organic pollutants—11 organochlorine compounds and 8 polychlorinated biphenyls—for GC–MS (CNI mode) analysis in bird liver samples.

Organochlorine compounds and their reactions in the atmosphere

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1978
Abstract To estimate the influence of the chlorinated hydrocarbons on the quality of the environment, primarily chemico-ecological and toxico-ecological data are required. In addition to their level of production, range of application, and distribution tendency, a knowledge of their transformation under environmental conditions is desirable.

Chlorinated Byproducts in Diisocyanates Synthesis From 35Cl Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance

open access: yesHelvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.
We combine 35Cl NQR spectroscopy & DFT to identify trace chlorinated impurities in industrial MDI streams, creating a non‐destructive “analytical ruler” for chemical process monitoring. ABSTRACT Chlorinated impurities in industrial diisocyanates production significantly impact product quality and stability, yet their speciation remains an analytical ...

Kinetics of and solvent effects on photodegradation of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and endosulfan (endosulfan I and endosulfan II) in solution

open access: yesEmerging Contaminants
Organochlorine pesticides are chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds. The production and use of organochlorine pesticides have been restricted around the world because they are persistent and toxic and able to undergo long-range transport and bioaccumulate ...
