Chlordecone is a pesticide used in theAntillesfor more than 20 years to combat banana weevil. However, its widespread use (prohibited in theAntillesfrom 1993) and persistence in the environment have caused permanent soil pollution and contamination of the population. Chlordecone is now considered to be an endocrine disruptor and a neurotoxin, and is classified by the WHO as potentially carcinogenic to humans.. To evaluate the impact on health of exposure to chlordecone, the team led by Sylvaine Cordier in Rennes and Luc Multigner in Pointe à Pitre set up a large mother and child cohort in Guadeloupe, known as TIMOUN[1] (meaning child in Creole). The general aim of the study is to evaluate the health impact of chlordecone exposure on pregnancy and on pre- and post-natal development. The cohort consisted of 1042 women, who were monitored with their children from their pregnancy during the period 2005-2007. Researchers were particularly interested in the impact of pre-natal and post-natal ...

The hypothesis that liver is the site of the previously demonstrated chlordecone alcohol formation in man was tested. Human bile obtained from chlordecone-poisoned factory workers contained substantial amounts of free chlordecone, but little free chlordecone alcohol. However, when the same bile specimens were pretreated with beta-glucuronidase before analysis by gas-liquid chromatography, large amounts of chlordecone alcohol appeared, accounting for 75% of total organochlorine compounds. Confirmation of the identity of chlordecone and chlordecone alcohol was made by using gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Whereas biliary chlordecone alcohol was present predominantly as its glucuronide conjugate (93%), chlordecone was excreted primarily as the unaltered compound (72%) with only a small portion conjugated with glucuronic acid (9%). The remaining fraction of the total chlordecone measured in bile appeared to be a stable polar metabolite resistant to beta-glucuronidase. This unidentified ...

Chlordecone belongs to the class of persistent organochlorine pesticides that are remarkably resistant to environmental degradation. Even though their use was banned in the United States in 1978, these compounds can still be detected in both humans and wildlife throughout the world. Previous work has shown that the pretreatment of male C57BL/6 mice with low doses of the persistent organochlorine (OC) pesticide, chlordecone (CD) stimulated biliary excretion of exogenous CH up to 3-fold, and further, that increased biliary excretion was not associated with changes in ATP-binding cassette transporter G8 (ABCG8) or scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). In rodents, hepatic basolateral SR-BI is important in controlling plasma lipoprotein levels and cholesterol (CH) homeostasis, with major roles in reverse CH transport (RCT) and biliary excretion. The hepatic ABCG5/G8 heterodimer is a membrane transporter present on the apical surfaces of hepatocytes, and also plays a key role in biliary CH ...

Technical grade kelevan contains 94 - 98% pure kelevan, 0.1 - 2% chlordecone, and 0.5 - 4.0% inorganic salts (Maier-Bode, 1976). 2.2. Physical and Chemical Properties The technical material is a brownish substance. Some physical and chemical properties of kelevan are given in Table 1. 2.3. Analytical Methods Kelevan can be extracted from plant or animal tissues, or soils using methylene chloride, isopropanol, or acetone. It can be oxidized by refluxing with chromium trioxide in glacial acetic acid to yield chlordecone. The chlordecone is then determined by gas- liquid chromatography (GLC) techniques (Westlake et al., 1970). An analytical method using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry has been described by Cairns et al. (1982). Table 1.

Any evaluation of toxicity to reproduction will have as an important consideration that events may not only be on the adults having impact on their likelihood to have children, but also impact the viability and quality of life of their potential offspring and feasibly even affect later generations. That chemicals can adversely affect reproduction in males and females is not a new concept, one only has to look at the importance of drugs as contraceptives to realize how sensitive the reproductive system can be to external chemical influences to disrupt this process. Of course in these cases, the failure of normal reproduction is a desired outcome in a contraceptive, but unfortunately we have had a number of catastrophes in which such failure has been unintentional. Many of the classic examples in chemical workers, or contamination of groundwater from chemical exposure such as dibromochloropropane (DBCP) or kepone (chlordecone) have shown the sensitivity of human reproduction to these specific ...

We utilized milk samples obtained from a survey of 219 primiparous mothers in 2009 to test for the presence of new persistent organic pollutants: hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), pentachlorobenzene (PeCB), chlordecone, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PFOS-F), and perflurooctanoic acid (PFOA). 158 samples were pooled according to the mothers age, length of stay in Hong Kong, and their dietary habits (frequencies of intake of fish and other seafood, and milk and dairy products) and tested for chlordecone, PBDEs, PBBs and PFCs. All were present in our samples. Their mean and median concentrations are very high compared to findings in other countries. HCH and PeCB were tested in 73 individual samples and their mean levels were of the same order of magnitude as those reported in our previous study. The levels of PBDEs were positively associated ...

Hepatoprotective action: The natural ingredients in Liv.52 DS exhibit potent hepatoprotective properties against chemically-induced hepatotoxicity. It restores the functional efficiency of the liver by protecting the hepatic parenchyma and promoting hepatocellular regeneration. The antiperoxidative activity of Liv.52 DS prevents the loss of functional integrity of the cell membrane, maintains cytochrome P-450 (a large and diverse group of enzymes, which catalyze the oxidation of organic substances), hastens the recovery period and ensures early restoration of hepatic functions in infective hepatitis. It facilitates the rapid elimination of acetaldehyde (produced by the oxidation of ethanol that is popularly believed to cause hangovers) and ensures protection from alcohol-induced hepatic damage. Liv.52 DS also diminishes the lipotropic (compounds that help catalyze the breakdown of fat) effect in chronic alcoholism and prevents fatty infiltration of the liver. In pre-cirrhotic conditions, Liv.52 ...

en] Sea turtles including the green turtle Chelonia mydas and the hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata are critically endangered species, facing different factors as marine pollution. There is a blatant lack of data dealing with toxicants such as metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in sea turtles. We developed a strategy to apprehend levels, effects and transfer to offspring of several pollutants in sea turtles. Sampling of blood, subcutaneous tissue and eggs of 15 gravid C. mydas and E. imbricata was carried out between July and September 2008 in Martinique (Diamants beach) and Guadeloupe (Petite Terre and Marie-Galante). Blood was collected from the dorso-cervical sinus and subcutaneous tissue was sampled in shoulder of the spawning females using a 5 mm biopsy punch (Kai Europe GmbH, Germany). Total blood and serum were successfully taken for metal, POP and biomarker investigations. T-mercury was analyzed by DMA milestones while PCBs, DDT and chlordecone were analyzed by EDC ...

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.0c03575. The Global Monitoring Plan of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) was established to generate long-term data necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of regulatory measures at a global scale. After a decade of passive air monitoring (2008-2019), MONET is the first network to produce sufficient data for the analysis of long-term temporal trends of POPs in the African atmosphere. This study reports concentrations of 20 POPs (aldrin, chlordane, chlordecone, DDT, dieldrin, endrin, endosulfan, HBCDD, HCB, HCHs, heptachlor, hexabromobiphenyl, mirex, PBDEs, PCBs, PCDDs, PCDFs, PeCB, PFOA, and PFOS) monitored in 9 countries (Congo, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and Sudan).

In 2002, Susan Schmidt retraced John Smiths 1608 voyage on the Chesapeake Bay. In Landfall along the Chesapeake, a cruising guide for Chesapeake boaters and a field log for naturalists, Schmidt compares the beauty of ancestral legacy and childhood memory to her observations on a 100-day voyage in a 22-foot boat. As she circles the Bay counterclockwise from Jamestown, she explores Smiths encounters with Native Americans and the Bays ecological changes over the past four hundred years. On each river and creek, she quotes Smiths journals on matching wits with Powhatan, meeting Pocahontas, surviving thunderstorms, ambush, and a stingrays barb. Anchored on wild creeks, Schmidt observes swans and dragonflies, lightning and sunsets; in port she interviews colorful characters and working watermen about blue crabs and oysters. Scientists explain the Bays nitrogen overload, water-level rise, anoxia, Pfiesteria, Kepone, and the Ghost Fleet. Native American chiefs discuss their heritage then and now. ...

Thus, had we merely conducted simple tests of statistical significance, we could correctly have said that the results were not statistically significant in most cases; given the number of simultaneous tests that we had conducted, the few significant exceptions could be discounted. While correct, such statements commonly lead readers of papers (and not infrequently the authors themselves) to conclude that despite an investigation aimed at uncovering evidence there is no evidence for an effect. Authors and readers may then go on to conclude that the lack of evidence indicates that there is no effect. In this respect, Pilling et al. [5] were correct to assert that given that formal analysis of their data would lack the power to detect anything other than very large treatment effects, a formal analysis would be potentially misleading.. However, we argue that naïve hypothesis tests are inadequate in cases such as studying the impact of thiamethoxam on honeybees, where we need to know the ...

The liver is the major site of clearance and degradation of foreign antigens from the portal circulation. Despite the presence of hepatic accessory cells, antibody responses to orally administered antigens are uncommon. To ascertain if hepatic accessory cells are incapable of stimulating specific subsets of T lymphocytes, freshly isolated hepatic nonparenchymal and splenic cells were cultured with a panel of antigen-specific, H-2-restricted Th1 and Th2 HTL clones. Whereas spleen cells stimulated the proliferation of both Th1 and Th2 clones, hepatic nonparenchymal cells (NPC) stimulated the proliferation of only Th1 and not Th2 clones. Adding rIL-1, rIL-6, and rIL-7, alone or in combination, to the cultures did not result in proliferation of the Th2 clones. Despite the absence of Th2 proliferation, NPC were able to stimulate the secretion of IL-3 and IL-4 by Th2 clones in the presence of antigen. Moreover, adding hepatic NPC did not inhibit spleen cells from stimulating Th2 clones in the presence ...

Methoxychlor was tested by the oral route only in the rat. Three experiments, including one employing dietary levels of up to 1600 ppm (equivalent to about 80 mg/kg bw/day), provided no evidence of carcinogenicity. Because of inadequate reporting, conclusions cannot be drawn from the results of a fourth experiment in which some liver tumours were observed in rats fed up to 2000 ppm in the diet (equivalent to about 100 mg/kg bw/day). Data from these four experiments do not allow an evaluation of the carcinogenicity of methoxychlor to be made at the present time..
