Weekly concentrations and loads of a persistent organic pesticide (chlordecone) were simulated for 67 weeks to evaluate the modeling approach.
In the French West Indies, chlordecone (CLD), an organochlorine pesticide, was applied in banana plantations from 1972 to 1993.
The effect of the exposure of two organochlorine pesticides lindane and chlordecone on the maize root metabolome was recently explored by HRMAS [35].
Bioaccumulation is a feature of some xenobiotics, especially chlordecone, DDT and DDE, and low level chronic exposures can also affect cell signaling mechanisms.
HCH, chlordecone and dieldrin, were used in agriculture until the start of 1990, this resulted in a contamination of the soil and water in the areas of banana production.
Batch and saturated soil column experiments were conducted to investigate sorption and mobility of two 14C-labeled contaminants, the hydrophobic chlordecone (CLD) and the sulfadiazine (SDZ), in the absence or presence of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).
Accordingly, we tested aroclor 1254 A12544), atrazine (AZ), o,p′-DDT, vinclozolin (VZ), p,p′-DDE, bisphenol A (BPA), chlordecone (CD), nonylphenol (NP), tributylin oxide (TBTO), and diethylstilbestrol (DES) for cellular toxicity against human embryonic 293 cells, and activity against cellular aromatase, but also on placental microsomes and on the purified equine enzyme.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Allied Chemical Corporation produced a pesticide called Kepone (chlordecone) at its plant in Hopewell, Va".
Consequently, chlordecone was not considered as a confounder.
We purchased chlordecone (described as 99.2% pure) from Crescent Chemical (Islandia, NY).
Estrogenic pesticides such as DDT and chlordecone generate deleterious reproductive effects.
