Polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides and neurodevelopment [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Pediatrics, 2008
Although environmental levels of polychlorinated biphenyls and certain organochlorine pesticides--hexachlorobenzene, dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane and its primary metabolite, dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethene--are generally on the decline, early-life exposures to these prevalent contaminants continue.

Real‐time quality and safety monitoring of fruit juice using paper‐based platform

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of a paper‐based biosensor for rapid detection of fruit juice spoilage. Abstract Food spoilage and safety concerns still remain critically challenging within the fruit juice industry, especially as conventional detection methods, though precise, are often too time‐consuming, costly, and reliant on centralized laboratories.

Occurrence and Human Health Implications of Legacy Organochlorine Pesticides and Their Metabolites in Fruits and Vegetables of Bangladesh

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Multiple OCP isomers and/or metabolites along with their parent compounds were detected in commonly consumed fruits and vegetables of Bangladesh, possibly attributed to both recently and historically applied OCPs. However, all the detected values were below 0.01 mg/kg, indicating no potential human health risks through dietary intake. ABSTRACT Globally,

Impact of organic pollutants on phenotype and gene expression in human breast cancer cells

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human exposure to industrial chemical compounds is widespread and, although often beneficial, prolonged contact may contribute to disease development, including cancer. While many studies have shown organic pollutants (OP) are cytotoxic, few have explored how long‐term exposure alters cell phenotype.

Persistent organic pollutants in the Atlantic and southern oceans and oceanic atmosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) continue to cycle through the atmosphere and hydrosphere despite banned or severely restricted usages. Global scale analyses of POPs are challenging, but knowledge of the current distribution of these compounds is ...

Evaluating the Endocrine‐Disrupting and Oxidative Stress Potential of a 50‐Component Human‐Relevant Complex Chemical Mixture Using In Vitro Tests

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Humans are chronically exposed to mixtures of environmental contaminants. Exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) contributes to increased health impairment observed globally. This study aimed to evaluate the endocrine‐disruptive and oxidative stress potential of a human‐relevant, complex chemical mixture in vitro.

Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Fundamental Principles, Diverse Applications, and the Latest Technological Frontiers

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The review examines the evolution of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI‐MS), a technique developed in 1966 by Field and Munson. CI is a soft‐ionization method that produces more intense molecular ions with less fragmentation than electron ionization (EI).

Lifetime Pesticide Use and Antinuclear Antibodies in Male Farmers From the Agricultural Health Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Farming and pesticide use have been associated with systemic autoimmune diseases, and while certain organochlorine insecticides and other pesticides are suspected to influence risk, the role of specific pesticides in the development of systemic ...
