CONTEXT The consumption of fish high in omega-3 fatty acids is advocated by the American Heart Association to decrease the risk of coronary artery disease. However, fish contain environmental toxins such as mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, and organochlorine pesticides, which may negate the beneficial cardiovascular effects of fish meals. Toxin levels vary depending on both the fish source a...
Available information on organochlorines and the chronic effects of exposure to them are set out. Organochlorinated compounds are the most persistent pesticides and can be found in all ecosystems. Although they are generally efficient in pest control, they are also a potent environment pollutant and can provoke health problems in man. The evidences of the carcinogenic potential of organochlorin...
BACKGROUND Studies have suggested that the quality of human semen has been declining over recent decades, presumably because of lifestyle or environmental factors. METHODS Polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides were analysed in the plasma of 25 men with poor semen quality, 20 men with normal semen quality and idiopathic subfertility and 27 men with normal semen quality and fe...
The effects of in vitro exposure to different organochlorines were evaluated on immune functions of beluga whale peripheral blood leukocytes and splenocytes. The effects of different concentrations of four different congeners of PCBs (138, 153, 180, and 169) as well as two DDT metabolites (p,p'-DDT and p,p'-DDE) were evaluated on phagocytosis and cell proliferation. The effects of dioxins and m...
BACKGROUND In some previous studies, prenatal exposure to persistent organochlorines such as 1,1,-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (p,p´-DDE), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) has been associated with higher body mass index (BMI) in children. OBJECTIVE Our goal was to evaluate the association of maternal serum levels of β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH), p,p...
The objective of this study was to evaluate cancer mortality in pulp and paper industry workers exposed to chlorinated organic compounds. We assembled a multinational cohort of workers employed between 1920 and 1996 in 11 countries. Exposure to both volatile and nonvolatile organochlorine compounds was estimated at the department level using an exposure matrix. We conducted a standardized morta...
BACKGROUND All the relevant risk factors contributing to breast cancer etiology are not fully known. Exposure to organochlorine pesticides has been linked to an increased incidence of the disease, although not all data have been consistent. Most published studies evaluated the exposure to organochlorines individually, ignoring the potential effects exerted by the mixtures of chemicals. METHOD...
Organochlorine pesticides such as DDT were long ago banned in America and Europe but due to their persistence their metabolites are still detected in the environment. In Greece, organochlorine insecticides such as DDT were extensively used before 1972 (Albanis et al. 1994). Coastal wetlands, which are widespread in Greece, are areas where pesticides from the agricultural activities of extensive...
