The low yield of food production ascribed to harm caused by pests has led the application pesticides crops. Pesticide residues from on crops are mostly found in foods that can cause diseases for consumers such products. A total 37 pesticide consisting 15 organochlorines (OC), 13 organophosphorus (OP) and 9 synthetic pyrethroids (SP) were determined. QuEChERS method was exploited extraction clea...

in this study, the effect of some toxic organic chemicals on mogan lake has been investigatedusing the aquatox model. the unique property of the model includes the sub ecotoxicological modelwhen compared to the other water quality models. the ecosystem model aquatox, which is one of the fewgeneral ecological risk models that represents the combined environmental repercussions and effects of tox...

Environmental pollutants with hormonal activity, such as xenoestrogens, have for several years been of concern as potential risk factors for hormone dependant tumors. Impacts of increasing levels of xenoestrogens have been observed in aquatic organisms. In humans concern has been focused on ”endocrine disrupting chemicals” with either estrogenic or antiestrogenic activities. Some persistent org...

Tris(4-chlorophenyl)methane (TCPMe) and tris(4-chlorophenyl)methanol (TCPMOH) are among the most recently identified environmental contaminants. Despite their widespread contamination in the marine environment, human exposure to these compounds remains relatively unknown. We determined the concentrations of TCPMe, TCPMOH, and other persistent organochlorines such as polychlorinated biphenyls (P...

Persistent organochlorines such as DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), chlordane compounds (CHLs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in whole-body homogenates of resident and migratory birds collected from South India. Organochlorine contamination pattern in birds varied depending on their migratory behaviour. Residen...
