Clay Mineral–Hydrophobic Organic Compound Interactions in Miniaturized Adsorption Experiments: Exemplary Studies With Bentonites and Hexachlorobenzene Clay mineral–hydrophobic organic compound interactions were studied with hexachlorobenzene and 21 bentonites. Adsorption strength varies depending on bentonite properties. For highly adsorptive bento...

We looked at levels & intercorrelations of #legacy #PersistentOrganicPollutants, #dechloranes & #ChlorinatedParaffins

SCCPS and decorates positively correlated with recalcitrant POPs to a stronger extent than MCCPs or LCCPs, but all were surprisingly unrelated to dietary niche

Ocean Health: Environmental Pollutants Threaten Humpback Whale Reproduction and Offspring - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, December 6, 2022) Persistent organic pollutants (POPs)—including banned pesticides—present a health risk to humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), according to a study published in Environmental Pollution. Regarding female humpback whales, levels of POPs in blubber are higher in juveniles and subadults than in adults, primarily from the transference of contaminants from the mother to her calf. Organochlorine compounds (OCs), such as organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), are well-known persistent organic pollutants. The international Stockholm Convention treaty (signed by 152 countries, but not the U.S.) banned these primary pollutants of concern (UNEP, 2009) in 2001 (taking effect in 2004) because of their persistence, toxicity, and adverse effects on environmental and biological health. These pollutants have a global distribution, with evaporation and precipitation facilitating long-range atmospheric transport, deposition, and bioaccumulation of hazardous chemicals in the environment. However, these chemicals can remain in the environment for decades and interact with various current-use pesticides, including organophosphates, neonicotinoids, and pyrethroids. Although various studies demonstrate the volatile, toxic nature of POPs, much less research evaluates the impact POPs have on maternal offloading or transfer of contaminates to offspring and respective health consequences. The globe is currently going through the Holocene Extinction, Earth’s 6th mass extinction, with one […]
