A model representing the bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in arctic terrestrial mammalian food-chains is developed, parametrized, tested, and analyzed....

To improve understanding of air-to-vegetation transfer of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), uptake and depuration of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated...

In this study we explored the use of butter as a sampling matrix to reflect the regional and global scale distribution of PCBs and selected organochlorine pesticides/metabolites...

Decreasing environmental concentrations of some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been observed at local or regional scales in continental areas after the implementation...

At present, scientific knowledge on depuration rates of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is limited and the previous assumptions of considerable reduction of body burdens...

The use of technical chlordane, a mixture of 147 separate components, and chlordane-containing products has been illegal in the United States since 1988. Technical chlordane is...

There is a need for simple air sampling techniques to enable routine monitoring of the occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in compliance with...

A new site-specific, dynamic model (SoilPlus) was developed to simulate the fate of nonionized organic chemicals in the air/litter/soil system; key features of the model are the...

CdSe nanoparticles with well dispersion were decorated on inner and outer surfaces of 4 μm long TiO2 nanotubes through a simple direct current electrotechnique, resulting in a...

Twelve air samples collected over the Indian Ocean by a high volume air sampler between August 2004 and August 2005 were analyzed for selected polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)...

Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and brominated organic compounds (BOCs) have been found in biota and humans worldwide with levels of BOCs being the highest in North America....

Median concentration of total PBDEs in maternal serum, paternal serum, umbilical cord serum, and breast milk samples were 12, 12, 17, and 6.1 ng/g lipid weight (lw) in Vallecas...

This paper follows a quasi-experimental research design to assess the impact of the electronic payment system of Mexico’s Progresa-Oportunidades-Prospera (POP) programme. The...

The effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) on liver function and structure are still under debate. Although higher transaminase activity and tumor promoting potential of PCB...

Serum concentrations (μg/kg lipid) of summed organochlorine pesticides (ΣOCP), summed polychlorinated biphenyls ΣPCB), summed polybrominated diphenyl ethers (ΣPBDE) and summed...

List of KCD-6 diagnostic codes corresponding to pelvic organ prolapse including uterine prolapse and EDI codes for hysterectomy and procedures to correct prolapse or stress...

Characteristics of the participants in the survey, based on intake of Greenlandic diet.

Purely organic biluminescent materials are of great interest due to the involvement of both singlet and long-lived triplet emissions, which have been rarely reported in...

Primary osteoporosis (POP) has a serious impact on quality of life for middle-aged and elderly, which particularly increase the risk of fracture. We conducted the systematic...

Multivariate linear regression adjusting for age, alcohol intake, smoking, BMI and vitamin D on each POP individually or the sum of OCP, PCB, OCP+PCB and PBDE.
