“…The BMF for dieldrin in porpoises is second only to that for chlordane (110). A summary of organochlorines in marine mammals consistently reports no difference in organochlorine concentrations in immature males and females.…”

“…Because they are bioaccumulative, they may biomagnify many thousands of times in the food chain. [17][18][19][20] Persistent compounds are transported transboundary through a series of evaporation and deposition called the ''grasshopper effect, 21 '' by which persistent chemicals may be transported thousands of miles from their origin. The currentuse or contemporary pesticides include OP, carbamates, and pyrethroid insecticides, and triazine, chloroacetanilides and phenoxy herbicides and are considered nonpersistent.…”

Pesticides are widely used chemicals making human exposure to pesticides a realistic possibility. Biomonitoring is a common and useful tool for assessing human exposure to pesticides. For the past several decades, methods have been developed to measure a variety of pesticides in human urine or blood to evaluate exposures. Many of these methods have employed analytical techniques such as chromatography and mass spectrometry to accurately measure urinary metabolites or blood body burdens of several classes of pesticides. The pesticides assessed include the banned organochlorine pesticides, the more modern organophosphorus, carbamate, and pyrethroid insecticides along with a variety of herbicides including phenoxyacetic acids and triazines. These methods are capable of detecting concentrations in biological samples resulting from occupational exposures to pesticides, and in some instances, general background exposures from residential or dietary exposures. These data have been used for a variety of applications. They have documented the pervasiveness of pesticide exposures, have allowed us to determine the primary predictors of exposure in certain populations, have helped us to identify the most important pathways of exposure, and have helped us to better understand any potential risks associated with exposures. In addition, these methods have helped us to document poisoning cases and identify etiologic agents in crisis situations. We discuss the methods that have been employed over the last 40 years and how these methods have addressed critical public health questions.

“…Infiltration is more common and represents a potent source of environmental pollution of groundwater. Some of the properties that favor the environmental contamination by adapted pesticides are presented in Table 1 (Strandberg et al, 1998 …”

“…(1). (Strandberg et al, 1998;Bavcon et al, 2002, adapted) Other important aspects to be considered are the products of pesticide transformation (TP). There is great interest in studies on the formation of pesticide sub-products in the environment, since they can present a greater risk to the ecosystem than the original pesticides (Nawab et al, 2003;Sinclair & Boxall, 2003;Pozo et al, 2001;Sabik et al, 2000).…”

“…On the other hand, some pesticide TP may present lower toxicity than the original substances from which they are formed (Borga et al, 1998). Thus, the results of pesticide use have not been completely elucidated because most studies are focused principally on the primary residues and not on their transformation products (Strandberg et al, 1998). Some pesticides are considered to be persistent organic pollutants (POP) in the environment (Bavcon et al, 2002).…”
