Measuring nonpolar organic contaminant partitioning in three Norwegian sediments using polyethylene passive samplers.
Sci. Total Environ. 423 , 125-31, (2012) Freely dissolved pore water concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), penta- and hexachlorobenzene (PeCB and HCB), octachlorostyrene (OCS), p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDD were measured in bottom sediments from three s... |

Organochlorine pesticides, octachlorostyrene, and mercury in the blood of Elb River residents, Germany.
Arch. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 22(1) , 14-20, (1992) Blood samples of 135 residents living near the estuary of the Elb River (Schleswig-Holstein, Germany) were analyzed for organochlorines (e.g., beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) (less than 0.5-22.9 ng/ml), benzene hexachloride (HCB) (0.8-55.2 ng/ml), DDE (less ... |

The tissue distribution, metabolism, and excretion of octachlorostyrene in the rat.
Drug Metab. Dispos. 10(6) , 632-5, (1982) The tissue distribution, metabolism, and elimination of 14C-octachlorostyrene (OCS) were studied in the rat. OCS was absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration and distributed in all tissues examined. The highest concentrations were foun... |

Induction of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 and associated monooxygenases by octachlorostyrene in inbred strains of mice. Lack of correlation with the murine Ah locus.
Biochem. Pharmacol. 31(15) , 2523-9, (1982) Single intraperitoneal injections of octachlorostyrene (OCS) and hexachlorobenzene in genetically polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon "responsive' C57/BL/6 (B6) mice led to a time- and dose-dependent increase in the levels of liver microsomal cytochromes P-450 an... |

Induction of oxidative stress in human Chang liver cells by octachlorostyrene, the persistent and bioaccumulative toxicant.
Toxicol. In Vitro 22(2) , 367-75, (2008) Octachlorostyrene (OCS) is a persistent and bioaccumulative toxicant (PBT) that is a halogenated aromatic compound. OCS belongs to the primary level I group chemicals designated by the US Environmental Protection Agency, which are the most concerning chemical... |

Simultaneous thermal analysis/mass spectrometric detection of biological hazards.
Biomed. Environ. Mass Spectrom. 16(1-12) , 447-9, (1988) A simultaneous working TA-MS instrument has been used to investigate the thermal behaviour and the decomposition of a series of toxic organic compounds such as flame protected polymers and chlorine-substituted aromatic products that are known to be injurious ... |

Influence of iron on the induction of hepatic tumors and porphyria by octachlorostyrene in C57BL/10ScSn mice.
Cancer Lett. 81(2) , 145-50, (1994) Octachlorostyrene (OCS) is an environmental contaminant, present in fish of Northern European waters and the Great Lakes of America. It has many distribution and toxic similarities to hexachlorobenzene (HCB). Administration of OCS at 0.01% of the diet to C57B... |

Whole genomic expression analysis of octachlorostyrene-induced chronic toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Arch. Pharm. Res. 32(11) , 1585-92, (2009) In recent years, microarray technology has enabled the investigation of possible mechanisms the expression of genes related to toxic compounds. We used a C. elegans whole genome microarray to observe and evaluate the chronic toxicity of the free-living nemato... |
