Adsorption of halogenated aliphatic contaminants by graphene nanomaterials.

Water Res. 79 , 57-67, (2015)

In this study, adsorption of ten environmentally halogenated aliphatic synthetic organic compounds (SOCs) by a pristine graphene nanosheet (GNS) and a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was examined, and their adsorption behaviors were compared with those of a sing...

An evaluation of the occupational health risks to workers in a hazardous waste incinerator.

J. Occup. Health 46(2) , 156-64, (2004)

A study was conducted to evaluate the health impact of airborne pollutants on incinerator workers at IZAYDAS Incinerator, Turkey. Ambient air samples were taken from two sampling points in the incinerator area and analyzed for particulate matter, heavy metals...

Critical evaluation of the cancer risk of dibromochloropropane (DBCP).

J. Environ. Sci. Health. C. Environ. Carcinog. Ecotoxicol. Rev. 23(2) , 215-60, (2005)

Dibromochloropropane (1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane, DBCP), a pesticide used widely for over 20 years to control nematodes on crops, turf and in nurseries, was banned by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) in 1977 because of evidence of i...

Mutation spectrum of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane, an endocrine disruptor, in the lacI transgenic Big Blue Rat2 fibroblast cell line.

Mutagenesis 17(4) , 301-7, (2002)

1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), a soil fumigant against nematodes, has been extensively studied for genotoxicity, carcinogenicity and damage to male reproduction-related organs, as a possible endocrine disruptor. However, the precise mechanisms involved i...

Effects of metronidazole, ipronidazole, and dibromochloropropane on rabbit and human sperm motility and fertility.

Reprod. Toxicol. 16(6) , 749-55, (2002)

Treatment of protozoal pathogens in the reproductive system with chemical agents exposes flagellated sperm cells to potential toxicants. A widely used antiprotozoal agent is metronidazole. Its effect on rabbit and human sperm was compared with a more soluble ...

Effect of oxygen on the dehalogenation of 1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane by cytochrome P450cam (CYP101).

Biotechnol. Prog. 21(4) , 1119-27, (2005)

Cytochromes P450 are known to exhibit diverse catalytic functions against a large number of hydrocarbon substrates. The determinants of specific activity(ies) that operate on specific substrates have not been widely explored. Earlier, we showed that dehalogen...

Metal ions and human sperm mannose receptors.

Andrologie 32(4-5) , 317-29, (2000)

Zinc and lead concentrations were measured in seminal plasma from fertile donors, infertile men with varicocoele and men undergoing work-ups for in vitro fertilization. Ejaculated spermatozoa from these subjects were incubated in vitro with various metal ions...

Induction of DNA-lesions in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes by different genotoxins and their reduction by lignin given either as a dietary component or in in vitro conditions.

Nutr. Cancer 57(2) , 209-15, (2007)

The aim of our investigation was to verify the protective effect of lignin on DNA in rat hepatocytes damaged by 3 different genotoxins attacking DNA in a different manner. Hydrogen peroxide was used for induction of direct single strand breaks of DNA, visible...

Agricultural "killing fields": the poisoning of Costa Rican banana workers.

Int. J. Health Serv. 30(3) , 491-514, (2000)

The poisoning of Costa Rican banana workers by multinational corporations' excessive use of pesticides is not a local issue; it is embedded in a dominant ideology expressed by the phenomenon of globalization. This ideology seeps into every aspect of our socia...

Mortality among a cohort of banana plantation workers in Costa Rica.

Int. J. Occup. Environ. Health 12(4) , 321-8, (2006)

The nematocide 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), widely used in Costa Rica during the late 1960s and 1970s, causes sterility in men and is a possible carcinogen. Mortality among a cohort of Costa Rican banana plantation workers was investigated. The cohort ...
