China's water pollution by persistent organic pollutants
Environmental Pollution, 2012Available data were reviewed to assess the status of contamination by persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and ...

This chapter provides an overview of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), which are widely considered as a global concern. The structure and role of the Stockholm Convention on POPs is discussed. The specific criteria for listing certain chemicals as POPs are explained. Both “legacy” and “new” POPs are classified according to their major applications,

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are organic chemical substances, that is, they are carbon-based. They possess a particular combination of physical and chemical properties such that, once released into the environment, they remain intact for exceptionally long periods of time; become widely distributed throughout the environment as a result of ...

Toxicology mechanism of the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in fish through AhR pathway
Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods, 2010 With the development of industry and agriculture, the cases of cancer and tumor have been increasing gradually in the last 30 years, and quite a few cases are caused by persistent organic pollutants (POPs), some of them belonging to environmental ...

SOME PERSISTENT organic pollutants (POPs) can reach high concentrations in humans and other air-breathing animals even though they don't bioaccumulate in fish, according to a study by Canadian researchers ( Science 2007,317,236). The observation suggests that the regulatory criteria now used to flag potential POPs may need revision.

Dietary exposures to persistent organic pollutants
Toxicology and Industrial Health, 2001As one of the main components of risk assessment, exposure assessment plays a key role in evaluating risk. Many different scenarios can be developed to estimate the risk from exposure to chemicals such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is primarily ...

Controlling persistent organic pollutants–what next?
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1998Within the context of current international initiatives on the control of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), an overview is given of the scientific knowledge relating to POP sources, emissions, transport, fate and effects. At the regional scale, improvements in mass balance models for well-characterised POPs are resulting in an ability to estimate ...

Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2003ABSTRACTThe half‐lives of some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in environmental compartments such as soil and air can be as long as decades. In spite of the hydrophobicity of many POPs, the literature contains reports of their uptake by, and translocation through, a variety of plants.
