POPS IN MARINE MAMMALS: LEVELS AND EFFECTS Detection of Pesticides Unregistered in Japan, Toxaphene and Mirex, in the Cetaceans from Japanese Coastal Waters
ORGANOHALOGEN COMPOUNDS – Volume 66 (2004) 1500 Introduction Toxaphene and mirex are the members of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) included in the International Treaty, the Stockholm Convention. POPs are characteristically transferred across borders and are accumulated in wildlife. Consequently, their global distribution and biological impacts are of great concern. However, there is very ...
متن کاملToxaphene residues from cotton fields in soils and in the coastal environment of Nicaragua.
Toxaphene (camphechlor) was intensively used in the cotton growing fields of Nicaragua for decades with application rates as high as 31 kg ha(-1) in 1985. Although the use of this compound has recently been discontinued in the country, its intensive use in the past and its long persistence in soil allowed for the build up of large reservoirs of toxaphene in agriculture soils and a wide dispersa...
متن کاملMirex residues in seven groups of aquatic and terrestrial mammals.
Mirex residues were determined in muscle and liver tissues of seven species of aquatic and terrestrial mammals collected at four 6-month intervals from areas in Alabama and Georgia treated with mirex to suppress imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) from March 1973 through July 1976. Residue levels were significantly different (P > 0.01) among mammalian groups. Within species, residue levels ...
متن کاملResidues of toxaphene in insectivorous birds (Petrochelidon spp.) from the Rio Grande, Texas.
Although it has been documented that wildlife in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) contain increased concentrations of organochlorine (OC) contaminants, particularly DDE, little has been published on residues of toxaphene throughout this major North American watershed. In this study, 28 liver composites from adult swallows (Petrochelidon spp.) collected along the Rio Grande from 1999 through 2000 wer...
متن کاملGeographical distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organochlorines in small cetaceans from Asian waters.
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are one of the flame retardants widely used in plastics, textiles, electronic appliances, and electrical household appliances. In this study, PBDEs and organochlorine compounds (OCs) were determined in the archived samples from the Environmental Specimen Bank for Global Monitoring (es-BANK) at Ehime University. The blubber of cetaceans found stranded along...
