High-throughput analytical methods for persistent organic pollutants in high-lipid matrices.
Persistent organic pollutant (POP) trends and profiles reconstructed from environmental matrices, such as mammal tissues, have provided a wealth of information regarding contaminant behavior and environmental fate. These POP trends and profiles are unique and often irreplaceable due to difficulties …

Immobilization of Tetrabromobisphenol A On Pinecone-Derived Biochar
… China, TBBPA is of great concern as a relatively persistent organic pollutant released through manufacturing, recycling, and disposal of various fabrics and materials. Moreover, many studies suggest that TBBPA at environmentally relevant concentrations can induce a variety of adverse health …

Heavy metal and organic compound bioaccumulation in bronze whaler sharks (Carcharhinus brachyurus) along the coastline of South Africa
… predators, sharks are prone to heavy metal and persistent organic pollution, being especially vulnerable to such exposure over long lifespans, making these species indicators of systemic pollution in marine ecosystems. As tons of shark meat is harvested annually for consumption, the risk of …

Relationship of persistent organic pollutants to ADHD in children : a meta-analysis
… hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Using meta-analysis of peer-reviewed articles from Science Direct, PubMed, PsychINFO, Scopus, ProQuest, and ERIC databases published in English since 2000, a relationship between POPs and ADHD is examined. …

Sorption of a branched nonylphenol isomer and perfluorooctanoic acid on geosorbents and carbon nanotubes
As metabolites of organic surfactants, both nonylphenol (NP) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are toxic and ubiquitous in the environment. Their sorption on soils and sediments is of importance for their fate and transport in the environment. Especially in China, there is still a lack of …

Investigating persistent organic pollutants as endocrine disruptors of androgen receptor signalling
… lead to adverse health effects in those exposed. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of organic compounds that are structurally resistant to processes of degradation and thus are ubiquitous in the environment upon release. Due to their long elimination half-lives and affinity for …

Evaluation of new biorecognition elements for environmental monitoring
… enzymes are effective when a particular kind of pollutant would be detected because is possible to fine tune their metabolic behaviour by means of protein engineering. In this work, three biological sensing elements, related to three different index of toxicity were evaluated, in order to develop …
