The aim of this study was to determine the level of organochlorine pesticides in freshwater fish from the Zagreb area, Croatia. The study included 215 freshwater fish samples from three sites: the Sava River, Lake Jarun, and five fishponds from the Zagreb surroundings. Organochlorine pesticides DDT and derivates, HCH, HCB, lindane, aldrin, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor with epoxide, and methoxyc...

In this paper, it is analyzed the temporal variation of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in water and sediments from a river influenced by activity an agricultural field tropical country during period 2013-2016. The novelty consists increasing studies concentrations OCPs rivers for contributing to establish thresholds that allow protect biota soils waters. mean values dissolved sorbed on varied...

Overall persistence (POV) and long-range transport potential (LRTP) of and endosulfan and two of their transformation products, endosulfan sulfate and endosulfan diol, are estimated with two multimedia box models, the OECD POV and LRTP Screening Tool and the global, latitudinally resolved model CliMoChem. The OECD Tool yields POV and LRTP for each compound separately, whereas the CliMoChem mode...

Concentrations of pesticides residues in honey sampled from the major honey producing forest belts in Ghana were determined. Samples were purposively collected and extracted using the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) method and analysed for synthetic pyrethroids, organochlorine, and organophosphate pesticide residues. Aldrin, γ-HCH, β-HCH, ∑endosulfan, cyfluthrin, cype...

During a decade (1996-2006), ecotoxicological studies were carried out in biota of the Vaccarès Lagoon (Biosphere Reserve in Rhone Delta, France). A multicontamination was shown at all levels of the trophic web due to a direct bioconcentration of chemical from the medium combined with a food transfer. Here, the pollutants investigated were organochlorines, among which many compounds banned or i...
