TLDR
Gas chromatographic enantioseparation of chiral organochlorines (α-HCH, cis-and trans-chlordane, heptachlor, heptonachlor epoxide, oxychlordANE, o,p′-DDT, compounds of technical toxaphene, stable atropisomeric PCBs and methylsulfonyl-PCBs) has been achieved during the last decade as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Gas chromatographic enantioseparation of chiral organochlorines (α-HCH, cis- and trans-chlordane, heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, oxychlordane, o,p′-DDT, compounds of technical toxaphene, stable atropisomeric PCBs and methylsulfonyl-PCBs) has been achieved during the last decade. For this purpose chiral stationary phases based on cyclodextrin derivatives have been applied in combination with GC/ECD, GC/MS, MDGC, and MS/MS. With these techniques methods have been developed which have been used to study the enantioselective fate of the chiral organochlorines. Changes in the enantioratios and conclusions drawn are reviewed.

Enantioselectivity in environmental safety of current chiral insecticides

TL;DR: Dramatic differences between enantiomers were observed in their acute toxicity to the freshwater invertebrates Ceriodaphnia dubia and Daphnia magna, suggesting that the aquatic toxicity is primarily attributable to a specific enantiomer in the racemate.

Enantioselective phytoeffects of chiral pesticides.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the enantioselective effects of chiral plant growth regulators on plants and the phytotoxic and biotransformation effects ofchiral herbicides and several persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on plants.

Enantioselective bioactivity, acute toxicity and dissipation in vegetables of the chiral triazole fungicide flutriafol

TL;DR: The systemic assessments of the triazole fungicide flutriafol stereoisomers on the enantioselective bioactivity, acute toxicity and environmental behavior may have implications for better environmental and ecological risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of an enantiomer-specific stable carbon isotope analysis (ESIA) method for assessing the fate of α-hexachlorocyclo-hexane in the environment.

TL;DR: The linearity of the α-HCH ESIA method shows that carbon isotope ratios can be obtained for a signal size above 100 mV, and suggests that enantiomeric and isotope fractionation can serve as an indicator for biodegradation and source characterization of α- HCH in the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of chiral herbicides with soil microorganisms, algae and vascular plants.

TL;DR: General trends in the enantioselective toxic effects of different herbicides in vascular plants and algae are found, which will be helpful for pesticide risk assessments as well as for the management of applying enriched-enantiomer herbicides.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs): biochemistry, toxicology, and mechanism of action

TL;DR: The results clearly show that like "dioxin", the PCBs and PBBs elicit their effects through a cytosolic receptor protein which preferentially binds with the toxins which are approximate isostereomers of 2,3,7,8-TCDD.

Organochlorine contaminants in arctic marine food chains: accumulation of specific polychlorinated biphenyls and chlordane-related compounds

TL;DR: Polychlorinated biphenyl congeners and chlordane-related compounds as well as DDT, hexachlorocyclohexane, toxaphene, and chlorobenzenes were determined in pooled arctic cod muscle and polar bear fat and in the blubber and liver of 59 ringed seals from the east-central Canadian Arctic.
