background: the presence of organochlorine pesticides in the environment is a serious threat to human health and requires continuous monitoring. therefore, in the present systematic review, the residual amount of different organochlorine pesticides in human samples has been investigated.   methods: all accessible databases in english and farsi were searched by using organochlorine and related p...

Management of cocoa plantation field relied on the use of pesticides over the years; hence, the fate of such chemicals is one of the most debated issues among the stakeholders. Young and old cocoa plantation fields from 4 major cocoa producing States in Nigeria were selected as the study area. Eight composites soil samples collected from 3 portions of 6 transect measured area (100 x 50m) of the...

organochlorine pesticides are as environmental pollutants which have a high half-life and transmit from food chain to human and cause side effects such as mutations in different genes and finally cancer. in this research, after sampling and quantitative and qualitative of organochlorine residue, biodegradation of alpha, beta and gamma hexachlorobenzene (linden), ddt, aldrin, dieldrin, endosulfa...

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...

background: chlorinated pesticides have been used in pest control for several decades in the world. these compounds are still applied in many regions, and their continuous usage has resulted in their bioaccumulation and residue in the food chain. these residues could transfer to food products and accumulate in fat tissues. undoubtedly, the breast milk could be a significant biomarker for estima...

The utilization of organochlorine pesticides for pest control chemical has been of great interest on residue contamination from biological organisms in the environment. Green mussel (Perna viridis) samples were monitored as bioindicators for assessment of the water quality in coastal waters along the Gulf of Thailand. Thirty-six samples were collected from 12 stations during 1997-1999 and analy...

A gas chromatographic method for the analysis of nine organochlorine pesticides in wildlife urine is described. Reversed-phase solid-phase extraction is utilized to extract the organochlorine pesticides from urine. The pesticides are recovered by elution with hexane-ethyl ether (1:1) and quantified by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. Method detection limits range from 1.4 to ...

the levels of 19 organochlorine pesticides (ocps) in surface water and under water sedimentsfrom tanks located nearby the prime agricultural areas of kanyakumari district, tamil nadu, india wereinvestigated to evaluate their pollution risks. a total of 36 surface water samples at 9 sampling sites and27 sediment samples at 9 sampling stations were collected from tanks, which were the water sourc...

OBJECTIVE Recent epidemiological studies have shown that background exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs)--xenobiotics accumulated in adipose tissue--is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycemia is the cause of long-term complications of diabetes as well as diabetes itself, and POPs are well-known neurotoxicants. This study was performed to explore whether POPs are asso...
