Organochlorine contaminants, such as Triclosan (TCS), are present in drinking water sources across the United States. Since TCS was developed late 1960s, antimicrobial compounds have been widely used multipurpose ingredients everyday consumer products, can be ingested or absorbed through skin, and found human plasma, breast milk, urine samples. Monitored by States Toxic Substances Control Act, ...

This is the first report, to our knowledge, to reveal important factors by which members of the Cucurbitaceae family, such as cucumber (Cucumis sativus), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), melon (Cucumis melo), pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), squash (C. pepo), and zucchini (C. pepo), are selectively polluted with highly toxic hydrophobic contaminants, including organochlorine insecticides and dioxins. X...

The bioaccumulation of metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, V, Zn, Al, Fe) and organochlorine compounds (PCDD-Fs PCBs) was assessed in soils vegetables 3 sites contrasted anthropogenic influence (rural industrial-urban areas). Cultivated industrial areas exhibited diffuse pollution pollutants (PCBs PCDD-Fs). pollutant levels encountered were always lower than the EU regulatory or recommended...

The study aimed at investigating the concentrations and geographical patterns of 11 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) 15 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in reindeer muscle samples (n = 100) collected from 10 grazing districts Norway, 2009. Concentrations were examined for related to region as well age sex animals. measured PCBs OCPs meat generally low. Geographical revealed with previous mining...

Fish meat and fish products are usually considered as healthy foods, mostly because of their content unsaturated fatty acids, which have a beneficial effect on human health. On the Serbian market, shellfish commonly present fresh, frozen canned, but not regulating monitoring existence high levels different chemical hazards can lead to health problems. The aim paper is provide an overview contam...

In the agricultural field, pesticides are used tremendously to shield our crops from insects, weeds, and diseases. Only a small percentage of employed reach their intended target, remainder passes through soil, contaminating ground surface-water supplies, damaging crop fields, ultimately harming crop, including humans other creatures. Alternative approaches for pesticide measurement have recent...

Abstract The major nesting sites for the endangered green turtle ( Chelonia mydas ) are in Campeche, Mexico: Carmen, Isla Aguada, and Sabancuy. Although they a natural reserve, these threatened by agricultural activities oil extraction. This study aimed to determine presence concentration of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) plasma eggs assess antioxidant ...

Lipids generally represent the major matrix contributing to absorptive capacity for hydrophobic organic contaminants in aquatic ecosystems. The aim of present study was determine whether partition a different degree storage lipid classes: wax ester (WE) and triacylglycerol (TAG). This undertaken by studying experimentally partitioning organochlorine compounds between lipids (WE or TAG) silicone...
