Persistent organic pollutants in river food webs: influence of trophic position and degree of heterotrophy

Factors influencing the bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants in food webs of the scheldt estuary.

Concentrations of several persistent organic pollutants (POPs: PCBs, PBDEs, OCPs) in aquatic species from the Scheldt estuary were related with factors (body size, lipids, trophic position) possibly influencing their bioaccumulation. Stable nitrogen isotope ratios (δ(15)N) were used as a measure for trophic position. A decreasing trend in POP levels toward the sea was observed. For POP concentr...

Influence of chemical and biological factors on trophic transfer of persistent organic pollutants in the northwater polynya marine food web.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and stable isotopes of nitrogen (delta 15N) were measured in zooplankton (6 species), a benthic invertebrate (Anonyx nugax), Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), seabirds (6 species), and ringed seals (Phoca hispida) collected in 1998 in the Northwater Polynya to examine effects of biological and chemical factors on trophic transfer of POPs in an Arctic marine foo...

Selective processes for bioaccumulative up-take of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Arctic food webs

Persistent organic pollutants in food supplies.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in various food supplies have important health impacts, but are not as devastating as malnutrition and, perhaps, obesity. POPs should be controlled and the Stockholm Convention is having an accelerating effect on the global decline of POP manufacture and use. Reservoirs from previous misuses are much larger than current manufacture and efforts should be dire...

synthesis of 3-aryl-2h-benzo[b]-1,4-oxazines in [omim]bf4 and reduction of organic compounds in methylimidazolium formate

در این پروژه ترکیبات 3-آریل-2h-بنزو[b]-4،1-اکسازین ها از مواد اولیه تجاری مشتقات دو آمینو فنول و ?-هالو کتون های آروماتیک در مایع یونی 1-اکتیل-3-متیل ایمیدازولیوم تترا فلورو بورات([omim]bf4) سنتز شده است. این واکنش توسط باز پتاسیم کربنات محلول از طریق o-آلکیلاسیون و سپس یک واکنش آمیداسیون درون مولکولی خود بخود در مدت زمان کوتاه انجام می شود. ترکیبات 4،1-بنزوکسازین به این روش با بهره خوب تا آلی ...
