Accumulation of Organochlorine Pesticides in Man
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1972Abstract It is generally known that organochlorine pesticides are slowly eliminated and that they accumulate in humans. By using pharmacokinetic relationships, these properties were quantitated to make them more meaningful. Repeated dosing causes the average level of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane at equilibrium to rise to 500 times that following a ...

Indiscriminate use of different pesticides in agriculture has increased over the years, especially in the developing countries. This influences the aquatic environment to a great extent. This also poses a great danger to freshwater organisms, including fish, which constitute a major share in the aquatic environment and contribute to the economy of the ...

Organochlorine Pesticides in Antarctica
Nature, 1967The 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 ...

Biodegradation of Organochlorine Pesticides
2015The widespread use of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), mainly in the past, has caused serious environmental problems. Many OCPs were recently categorized as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that should be controlled as toxic environmental contaminants.

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 ...

Atmospheric burden of organochlorine pesticides in Ghana
Chemosphere, 2014Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are subject to the Stockholm Convention on POPs and have been banned or restricted globally. In Ghana, concerns of illicit applications of some OCPs have been raised in recent times. Applying polyurethane foam (PUF) disk passive air samplers (PAS), the levels of OCPs in the atmosphere and their spatial resolution were ...

Concentration of organochlorine pesticides in wine corks
Chemosphere, 2001Wine corks were extracted and analyzed for 23 organochlorine pesticides, including alpha-, beta-, and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCH), hexachlorobenzene, DDT, DDE and DDD, chlordane, endosulfan, dieldrin, aldrin, and endrin. This was done to investigate the occurrence, concentrations, composition profiles, and possible sources of organochlorine ...

The neurotoxicity of organochlorine and pyrethroid pesticides
2015Organochlorine and pyrethroid compounds represent an old and a new class, respectively, of insecticides. Organochlorines such as DDT, dieldrin, or chlordecone, have been banned, primarily because of environmental issues. DDT is still used in certain countries to fight malaria-bearing mosquitoes, while lindane still finds some limited used against head ...

Organochlorine pesticide residues in bamboo shoot
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2010AbstractBACKGROUND: Xenobiotic organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are a major environmental problem because of their historic widespread use, pronounced persistence against chemical and biological degradation, and bioaccumulation in the food chain. Pesticide use is prevalent in the production of edible bamboo shoots, which are exported widely from China.

Organochlorine pesticide residues in Songkla Lake
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1994The water quality of Songkla Lake for organochlorine (OC) pesticide contamination was studied from chosen sampling sites (stations) using the lakes geographic data and pollution sources. The water samples were collected monthly from 13 stations in Songkla Lake during September 1991-November 1992.
