Occurrence of persistent organic pollutants and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments of the inner bay of Lake Titicaca, Puno-Peru
TL;DR: In this article, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were monitored in sediments from 13 sampling stations in the Inner Bay of Lake Titicaca (Puno, Peru).

Occurrence and Removal of Pesticides in Drinking Water
Anuradha,Jagvir Singh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the global impact of self-poisoning from preventable pesticide ingestion was estimated at 155,488 deaths and 7,362,493 disabilities, much higher than estimates, since the health data available so far are limited to estimate the global health effects of such dangerous chemicals.

Erik C. Andersen,Kathryn S. Evans,Janneke Wit,Lewis Stevens,Steffen Hahnel,Briana C. Rodriguez,Grace Park,Mostafa Zamanian,Shannon C. Brady,Ellen Chao,Katherine Introcaso,Robyn E. Tanny +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used C. elegans as a model to identify genes that underlie resistance to macrocyclic lactone abamectin in the free-living roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans.

Pesticide Exposure, Safety Issues, and Risk Assessment Indicators
TL;DR: New tools or techniques with greater reliability than those already existing are needed to predict the potential hazards of pesticides and thus contribute to reduction of the adverse effects on human health and the environment.
Book ChapterDOI
The SCS/ARS/CES pesticide properties database for environmental decision-making.
TL;DR: This work has compiled the most complete collection of these properties available, using others' compilations but verifying values from the primary literature in many cases, and suggests a "Selected Value" which it believes to be the best available.

Handbook of Environmental Fate and Exposure Data: For Organic Chemicals, Volume III Pesticides
TL;DR: The Environmental Fate and Exposure of Organic Chemicals provides relevant facts on how individual chemicals behave in the environment and how humans and environmental organisms are exposed to the chemicals during their production, rise, transport, and disposal.

Bioremediation approaches for organic pollutants: a critical perspective
Mallavarapu Megharaj,Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan,Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan,Balasubramanian Ramakrishnan,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,Kadiyala Venkateswarlu,N. Sethunathan,Ravi Naidu,Ravi Naidu +9 more
TL;DR: This review selectively examines and provides a critical view on the knowledge gaps and limitations in field application strategies, approaches such as composting, electrobioremediation and microbe-assisted phytoremediating, and the use of probes and assays for monitoring and testing the efficacy of bioremediations of polluted sites.
