Transplacental transfer of genotoxins and transplacental carcinogenesis.
A number of chemical compounds induce cancer in the offspring of animals treated with these compounds. The fetus is sensitive to the toxic and teratogenic effects of chemicals in the early embryonic stages, whereas it is sensitive to carcinogenic effects during late fetal stages. Carcinogens may be direct acting or may require metabolic oxidation such as those in tobacco smoke. Activation can o...
متن کاملOrganochlorine pesticides in gallstones.
A method is described for the determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in human gallstones. The difficulty caused by the presence of large amounts of cholesterol in the stones is overcome by an acetylation step in the “clean-up” procedure, and the method finishes with identification and determination of the individual pesticides by gas-liquid chromatography. Results are given for 28 s...
متن کاملWhat Are Organochlorine Pesticides?
Pesticides are a group of chemicals made for the purpose of killing or otherwise deterring “pest” species. The word pesticide may refer to insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, or other pest control formulations. Pesticides are inherently toxic and often associated with adverse health effects in non-target organisms.1 Organochlorine pesticides are a large class of multipurpose chlorinated hydro...
متن کاملLevels and chiral signatures of organochlorine pesticides in urban soils of Yinchuan, China.
In this study, residual level and enantiomeric composition of typical organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were surveyed in urban soils of Yinchuan, China. The median levels of summation Sigma HCHs and summation Sigma DDTs were 0.852 and 2.24 ng/g, respectively, which suggested little risk for ecological environment and human health in the study area. Both chiral alpha-HCH and o,p'-DDT displayed th...
متن کاملOrganochlorine pesticides in danish milk
Introduction Organochlorine pesticides and PCB congeners are persistent organic compounds found in the environment. Because of their stability and tendency to accumulate in fat they can enter the food chain and therefore be found in cow milk. As these chemicals are banned in most countries, it is expected that the compounds can still be found in cow milk due to environmental contamination of th...
