Organochlorines
Organochlorine pesticide level in patients with chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology and its association with renal function
Involvement of agrochemicals have been suggested in the development of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu). The association between CKDu and blood level of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in CKDu patients has been examined in the present study.

Involvement of agrochemicals have been suggested in the development of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu). The association between CKDu and blood level of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in CKDu patients has been examined in the present study. Original SourceMonitoring of organochlorine pesticides in and around Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India
Keoladeo National Park (KNP) is an important wintering ground for thousands of birds that undertake a perilous journey over the Himalaya to make a seasonal home in a wetland ecosystem. However, this wetland is now getting polluted by various types of contaminants such as pesticides because of the agricultural practices …Complex organochlorine pesticide mixtures as determinant factor for breast cancer risk: a population-based case–control study in the Canary Islands (Spain)
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 …Serum concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and growth among Russian boys
Limited human data suggest an association of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) with adverse effects on children’s growth. The authors evaluated the associations of OCPs with longitudinally assessed growth among peripubertal boys from a Russian cohort with high environmental OCP levels.Associations between organochlorine pesticides and Vitamin D deficiency in the U.S. population
Recently low dose organochlorine (OC) pesticides have been strongly linked to various chronic diseases including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Both field and animal studies have suggested a possibility that persistent lipophilic chemicals like OC pesticides can cause vitamin D deficiency, but there have been no human studies of exposure to …Low dose of some persistent organic pollutants predicts type 2 diabetes: A nested casecontrol study
Serum concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been reported to be associated with the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the U.S. general population, and this association appears to be higher among obese people than among the nonobese. However, because most previous studies were cross-sectional and because studies among …Spatial and temporal pattern of pesticides in the global atmosphere
As part of the Global Atmospheric Passive Sampling (GAPS) study, XAD-resin based passive samplers are being deployed for consecutive one-year periods at numerous sites on all seven continents to determine annually averaged concentrations of persistent organic pollutants. Concentrations of banned organochlorine pesticides as well as a number of current-use pesticides …Perfluorinated compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, and organochlorine pesticide contamination in composite food samples
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic chemicals that resist degradation and bioaccumulate. Despite attempts to limit the use and distribution of these chemicals, they are still widely detected in the environment. Schecter et al. determined the presence of POP contamination of food in the United States by measuring perfluorinated compounds …Maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides registered for use on Australian almonds
This information bulletin provides a list of maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides registered for use in Australian on almonds. Listed in the table are MRLs for Australia, as established by Food Standards Australia New Zealand and a number of countries to which Australian almonds are exported as at March …Status of organochlorine pesticide residues in sesame seeds collected from different geographical regions of India
Thirty genotypes of sesame seeds collected from different geographical regions of India were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides viz HCHs, DDTs and endosulfan.Effects of household processing on reduction of pesticide residues in vegetables
In a monitoring study residue levels of organochlorines (OC), synthetic pyrethroids (SP), organophosphates (OP) and carbamates were determined in unprocessed and processed three vegetables viz. brinjal, cauliflower and okra to know the residue levels and evaluate the effect of different household processes (washing and boiling/cooking) on reduction of residues. Samples …Organochlorine pesticide residues in the major rivers of Southern Thailand
Environmental contaminations by organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) of inland water have been a global issue, since most of these compounds are very persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic compounds. Due to the widespread use of DDT for malaria vector eradication programs in the past and no comprehensive works have been conducted to assess …Analysis of organochlorine pesticides in the Hindon river water, India
Pesticides are notorious contaminants due to their toxic and carcinogenic nature and, unfortunately, are distributed globally in air, water, sediment, soil and foods even to the places where they have not been used before. SPE and GC methods were developed to analyze organochlorine pesticides. The optimization was achieved by varying …Quantification of low levels of organochlorine pesticides using small volumes of plasma of wild birds through gas chromatography negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry
A solid phase extraction and gas chromatography with negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry in scan mode (GC-NCI-MS) method was developed to identify and quantify for the first time low levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCs) in plasma samples of less than 100 ?l from wild birds. The method detection limits ranged …Quantification of low levels of organochlorine pesticides using small volumes (?100 ?l) of plasma of wild birds through gas chromatography negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry
A solid phase extraction and gas chromatography with negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry in scan mode (GC-NCI-MS) method was developed to identify and quantify for the first time low levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCs) in plasma samples of less than 100 ?l from wild birds. The method detection limits ranged …Residues of organochlorine pesticides in Polish honeys
In Poland honey has never been included in regular pesticide residues controls. Because no maximum residues levels (MRLs) have been established for pesticides in honey it is very hard to evaluate the contamination of honey with pesticides and the possible damage to human health. This study was carried out in …Analysis of pesticide residues in soft drinks
In December 2005, CSE's Pollution Monitoring Lab decided to check whether the samples of soft drinks available in the market are within the limits prescribed by BIS or not. A total of 57 samples, of 11 brands of Pepsi Co and Coca Cola available in the market, were collected from …Determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in honey from the central zone of Portugal & the Valencian community of Spain
The occurrence of organochlorine compounds in the food chain has already been reported in several studies. This class of organic compounds constitutes one of the most important groups of dangerous organic contaminants. The environmental contamination by persistent organochlorine pesticide OCPs) residues has been widely documented in several countries, such as …Accumulation of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in sediments, aquatic organisms, birds, bird eggs
Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), HCH isomers (HCHs), chlordane compounds (CHLs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were determined in sediment, soil, whole body homogenates of resident and migratory birds and their prey items (including fish, green mussel, snail, earthworm, crabs, prawn, lizard and frogs), bird eggs and …Determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in honey, applying solid phase extraction with RP-C18 material
In this study, a new clean up method was developed for the routine multiresidue determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in honey. The analytical procedure requires sample extraction with methanol, followed by a clean up step through a C18 Sep-Pak cartridge. Finally, pesticides are eluted with hexane. The determination of organochlorine …
