Levels of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls
Accumulation of organochlorine compounds is well studied in aquatic food chains whereas little information is available from terrestrial food chains. This study presents data of organochlorine levels in tissue and plasma samples of 15 critically endangered Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) and other 55 wild carnivores belonging to five species from three natural areas of Spain (Doñana National Park,...
متن کاملOrganochlorine Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Game Animals from Poland
The occurrence and concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in 141 adipose tissue samples of wild boars, roe deer, and red deer from different regions of the country, collected in 2010/2011. The determinations of HCH isomers (α-, β-, and γ-HCH), HCB, DDTs (p,p’-DDT, o,p’-DDT, p,p’-DDE, and p,p’-DDD), and PCBs (six indicator PCB congeners 2...
متن کاملKinetic differences of legacy organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in Vietnamese human breast milk.
The present study investigated the current contamination status and evaluated several kinetic-related features of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and PCBs in human breast milk collected from northern Vietnam. The variation in the levels of these contaminants was found to be strongly associated with total lactation time and dietary habits. OCPs exhibited the characteristics of steadily declinin...
متن کاملmonitoring of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in three edible fish species of anzali wetland
organochlorine compounds such as, polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides are among the best known classes of contaminants because of their potential for magnification and harmful biological effects. in this study, the amounts of organochlorine pesticides including d.d.t and its metabolites, α, β and γ-hchs isomers, σcyclodiene (endosulfan, heptachlor, heotachlor epoxide, aldrin...
متن کاملAccumulation Features of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Organochlorine Pesticides in Resident and Migratory Birds from South India
Persistent organochlorines such as DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), chlordane compounds (CHLs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in whole-body homogenates of resident and migratory birds collected from South India. Organochlorine contamination pattern in birds varied depending on their migratory behaviour. Residen...
