Chlordane and Heptachlor
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Chlordane and heptachlor were considered together because of their close structural similarity and because technical-grade products each contain about 10–20% of the other compound. These substances were considered by previous working groups, in 1978 (IARC, 1979), 1987 (IARC, 1987) and 1990 (IARC, 1991). Since that time, new data have become available, and these have been incorporated into the monograph and taken into consideration in the present evaluation.

Cancer and chlordane-treated homes: a pinch of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
The insecticides chlordane and heptachlor in human body fat and plasma have been linked to many types of cancers (brain, breast, leukemia, lymphoma, prostate, and testicular). The US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) calculated that 30 million homes were treated with chlordane from 1950 until it was banned in 1987, and that occupants of these chlordane-treated homes have exposures up to ...
متن کاملBehavior of pesticides in coffee beans during the roasting process.
In Japan, maximum residue limits for pesticides (MRL) in coffee are set on green coffee beans, but not roasted coffee beans, although roasted beans are actually used to prepare coffee for drinking. Little is known about the behavior of pesticides during the roasting process. In the present study, we examined the changes in the concentration of pesticide (organochlorine: γ-BHC, chlordane and hep...
متن کاملRisk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and prediagnostic serum organochlorines: beta-hexachlorocyclohexane, chlordane/heptachlor-related compounds, dieldrin, and hexachlorobenzene.
Increases in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) incidence and mortality rates during the past few decades remain largely unexplained. Studies suggest that organochlorine pesticides may contribute to an increased risk of NHL. In 1974, serum samples were obtained from 25,802 participants in the Campaign Against Cancer and Stroke in Washington County, Maryland (USA), and cryopreserved for future study. ...
متن کاملSyntheses, Enantioselective Separations of Photocyclodienes and their Prevalence in Ringed Seal
Persistent halogenated xenobiotics such as chlorinated cyclodienes are known to be subject to atmospheric longrange transports into Arctic and Antarctic regions [Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) 2004]. As a consequence, chlordane, a complex mixture of various chemically similar components, has been detected in biota of these remote areas. Among the major constituents of this mi...
متن کاملChlorinated Insecticides: Fate in Aqueous Suspensions Containing Mosquito Larvae.
Aldrin, p,p'-DDT, dieldrin, gamma chlordane. heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, J-hydroxychlordene, and lindane were bioassayed against larvae of Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say; the remnant amounts of insecticide and metabolites in larvae and medium were determined by electron-affinity gas chromatography. The insecticides were surprisingly nonpersistent at concentrations normally used.
