The environmental fate of phthalate esters: A literature review
TL;DR: A comprehensive and critical review of the environmental fate of eighteen commercial phthalate esters with alkyl chains ranging from 1 to 13 carbons was performed by as discussed by the authors, which revealed that most published values exceed true water solubilities due to experimental difficulties associated with solubility determinations for these hydrophobic organic liquids.

Degradation of 1,4-dichlorobenzene by a Pseudomonas sp
Jim C. Spain,Shirley F. Nishino +1 more
TL;DR: A Pseudomonas species able to degrade p-dichlorobenzene as the sole source of carbon and energy was isolated by selective enrichment from activated sludge and grew well on chlorobenzenes or chlorocatechols.

Mineralization of the herbicide atrazine as a carbon source by a Pseudomonas strain.
C Yanze-Kontchou,N Gschwind +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is obtained showing that strain YAYA6 has specific uptake mechanisms for atrazine but less specific degradation mechanisms for s-triazines, as shown in strain DMS 93-99.

DDT in the Biosphere: Where does It Go?
TL;DR: The analysis suggests that mere good fortune has protected man and the rest of the biota from much higher concentrations, thus emphasizing the need to determine the details of the movement of DDT residues and other toxins through the biosphere and to move swiftly to bring world use of such toxins under rational control based on firm knowledge of local and worldwide cycles and hazards.

Toxicokinetics in fish: Accumulation and elimination of six chlorobenzenes by guppies
Hans Könemann,Kees van Leeuwen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetics of six chlorobenzenes in guppies were studied in an accumulation and elimination experiment, and a parabolic curve, with an optimum at log Poct ≈ 5.4, appeared to be a better description of the relation of the uptake rate constant with log poct, than a straight line.

Prediction of ecotoxicological behaviour of chemicals: Relationship between n-octanol/water partition coefficient and bioaccumulation of organic chemicals by alga Chlorella
TL;DR: In this paper, the bioaccumulation potential of organic chemicals by the green alga Chlorella fusca was determined, and a quantitative relationship was found to exist between the lipophilicity (n-octanol/water partition coefficient) of the chemicals and the bioACCumulation factor.
