“…PCBs and OCPs, on the other hand, are POPs of anthropogenic origin. Chemically stable, strongly lipophilic and considerably toxic, OCPs have slow degradation rates and tend to bioaccumulate in lipid-rich tissues (Tiemann, 2008) of living organisms. PAHs, PCBs and OCPs are of particular interest because of their potential toxicity, carcinogenicity, possible mutagenicity as well as tendency to bioaccumulate.…”

The seasonal variability of persistent organic pollutants in Hartbeespoort Dam, South Africa, was investigated using semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) as passive samplers. Freely dissolved waterborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were sampled to investigate seasonal changes in their concentrations. Exposure of the passive samplers was done for 14 days at the same sampling site in each of the four seasons of the year, in 2011. The SPMD-derived analyte amounts enabled the calculation of time-weighted averages of free dissolved waterborne levels of the contaminants. Concentrations ranged from 30.0 ng•ℓ -1 to 51.5 ng•ℓ -1 for PAHs, 38 pg ℓ -1 to 150 pg•ℓ -1 for PCBs, 9.2 to 10.4 ng•ℓ -1 for HCHs and 0.3 to 0.8 ng•ℓ -1 for DDTs, respectively. It was also noted that the winter season generally exhibited higher contaminant concentrations for most compounds studied, which likely reflects the seasonality of their atmospheric deposition. An attempt was also made to identify possible sources of PAH contaminants in the dam by examining PAH ratios. These diagnostic ratios were inclined towards pyrogenic sources of pollution, except for the winter season where both pyrogenic and petrogenic sources likely contribute to the contamination pattern.

“…Lindane is highly stable and is a persistent organic pollutant. Although it has not been proven that lindane is a carcinogen, it is known that lindane is a neurotoxin as well as an endocrine disrupter in humans [121] . Fe/Pd nanoparticles have been shown to be strong catalysts for the degradation of lindane.…”

The unique chemical and physical properties of nanoscale materials have led to important roles in several scientifi c and technological fi elds. Environmental chemistry processes have benefi ted from the enhanced reactivity of nanoscale particles relative to their bulk counterparts with contaminants. Here, we describe recent advances in the synthesis and characterization of metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles that have been effective toward degrading toxic organohalide contaminants. We then review the degradation mechanisms involved in the reactions of nanoscale particles with organohalides via reduction pathways. We also discuss an emerging area -the degradation of organohalides via multi-electron transfer pathways.
