Pesticides Removal Using Actinomycetes and Plants
(Springer, 2011)
Organochlorine pesticides have been used extensively all over the world for public health and agricultural purposes. Currently, their use is being phased out because of their toxicity, environmental persistence and ...
Assessing levels of POPs in air over the South Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South America
(Elsevier Science, 2016-11)
The occurrence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the atmosphere of the near-coast South Atlantic Ocean was studied. Air samples were collected using a high-volume air sampler (filter and polyurethane foam) on board ...
Biodegradation of lindane in soils using a dechlorinase produced by an actinomycetes strain
(Nova Science Publishers, 2009)
There are many reports indicating that hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH) is present in soil, water, air, plants, agricultural products, animals, food, microbial environments and humans. Considered a potential carcinogen and ...
Spatial Distribution and Ecological Risk Assessment of Residual Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs) in South American Marine Environments
(Springer, 2020-06-16)
Purpose of Review: Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been intensely used and produced in South America. Although they were banned before the year 2000 (excepting endosulfan, which has been recently banned in several ...
Occurrence of persistent organic pollutants in air at different sites in the province of Córdoba, Argentina
(Springer Heidelberg, 2019-05)
The occurrence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the atmosphere of six sites with different emission sources in the province of Córdoba, Argentina, was analyzed. The ...
Comparison of the epiphyte Tillandsia bergeri and the XAD-resin based passive air sampler for monitoring airborne pesticides
(Elsevier Science, 2019-09)
The aim of this study was to assess if the epiphyte Tillandsia bergeri is feasible to be used as a biomonitor of pesticides in the air by comparing with the results of the artificial XAD-resin based passive air sampler ...
