Ageing in Honeybees: Telomere Length Is Driven by Climate and Resource Availability Rather Than Urbanisation or Pollution

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
We analysed telomere length in 981 honeybee foragers sampled across 57 sites spanning a ~1000 km gradient of urbanisation, environmental pollution, climate and floral resources in central Argentina. Telomere length declined with increasing mean annual temperature and floral abundance, while showing no association with urbanisation or chemical ...

Update of the risk assessment on emerging and novel brominated flame retardants in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2012 risk assessment on Emerging and Novel brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in food. Since the previous Opinion, further information was collected for a total of 27 BFRs. The CONTAM Panel concluded that TDBPP, DBPNG and TBNPA are considered genotoxic and carcinogenic.

Persistent pesticides: Accumulation, health risk assessment, management and remediation: An overview

Desalination and Water Treatment
Pesticides are being employed for large-scale agricultural purposes, leading to global environmental issues. Organochlorine pesticides (dieldrin, DDT, and aldrin) are persistent due to their stable nature. Organochlorine pesticide (OCPs) residues present

The Coming of the Organochlorine Pesticide

, 2018
This 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

Organochlorine and organophosphate residues in lettuce and green pepper in Ghana's mega city

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering
Over the last decade, pesticide use in agriculture has helped protect crops but left residues in food, posing health risks. This study analyzed organochlorine (Delta-HCH and Beta-HCH) and organophosphate (chlorpyrifos and dimethoate) residues in lettuce ...
