Organic molecules are those that have carbon atoms serving as the backbone or major structural component of the molecule. The simplest group of organic molecules are hydrocarbons that contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The carbons in these hydrocarbons can be arranged in straight lines and are called aliphatics (eg, ethane or pentane), or they ...

Temporal Bioavailability of Organochlorine Pesticides and PCBs
Environmental Science & Technology, 2006Because PCBs and organochlorine pesticides continue to be of global concern, studies that address information gaps, such as factors and influences of spatial and temporal effects on contaminant bioavailability, are valuable. The present study focused on the spatial and temporal distribution of bioavailable organochlorine pesticides and PCBs in surface ...

The Coming of the Organochlorine Pesticide
2018This chapter deals with the extensive poisoning of the environment to exterminate mhesvi. Given the massive amounts of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) dumped into the environment to kill mhesvi, OCPs present an opportunity to explore the question of pollution and its health effects. The chapter introduces and accounts for the specific circumstances by
