متن کامل2. Relevance to Public Health 2.1 Background and Environmental Exposures to Heptachlor and Heptachlor Epoxide in the United States
Heptachlor is a polychlorinated cyclodiene insecticide that was extensively used prior to 1970 to kill termites, ants, and soil insects in seed grains and on crops. In 1983, the manufacturers voluntarily cancelled its registered uses, with the exception of termite and fire ant control. Currently, the only permitted use of heptachlor is for fire ant control in buried power transformers; however,...
متن کاملMetabolism of organochlorine pesticide heptachlor and its metabolite heptachlor epoxide by white rot fungi, belonging to genus Phlebia.
White rot fungi of the genus Phlebia have demonstrated a high capacity to degrade organic pollutants, including polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls. In this study, we evaluated the ability of 18 white rot fungi species of genus Phlebia to degrade heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide, and described the metabolic pathways by selected white rot fungi. Phlebia tremellosa, P...
متن کاملDopamine transporter binding in the rat striatum is increased by gestational, perinatal, and adolescent exposure to heptachlor.
Heptachlor is a persistent cyclodiene pesticide that affects GABAergic function. Recent reports indicate that heptachlor exposure also alters dopamine transporter (DAT) expression and function in adult mice. The aim of this study was to determine whether gestational, perinatal, and/or adolescent heptachlor exposure in rats altered dopamine-receptor and DAT binding. Adolescent exposure to dieldr...
متن کاملRenal and immunological effects of occupational exposure to inorganic mercury.
Seven parameters of renal dysfunction (urinary excretion of albumin, orosomucoid, beta 2-microglobulin, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG), and copper; serum creatinine concentration, and relative clearance of beta 2-microglobulin) were examined in a group of chloralkali workers exposed to mercury vapour (n = 89) and in an unexposed control group (n = 75). Serum concentrations of immunoglobuli...
