Accumulation of toxic metals and organic micro-pollutants in sediments from tropical urban rivers, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Dominique Grandjean, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro
The increasing contamination of fresh water resource by toxic metals and Persistence Organic Pollutants (POPs) is a major environmental concern globally. In the present investigation, surface sediments collected from three main rivers named, Makelele, Kala ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2017Changes in the Bacterial Community and lin Genes Diversity during Biostimulation of Indigenous Bacterial Community of Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) Dumpsite Soil
In this study hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) contaminated soil (with HCH level 84 g/kg of soil) from HCH dumpsite (Ummari village, Lucknow, India) was used to demonstrate biostimulation approach for HCH bioremediation. Different nutrients (molasses and ammoni ...
Springer Verlag2013Enzymatic Conversion of epsilon-Hexachlorocyclohexane and a Heptachlorocyclohexane Isomer, Two Neglected Components of Technical Hexachlorocyclohexane
alpha-, beta, gamma-, and delta-Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), the four major isomers of technical HCH, are susceptible to biotic transformations, whereby only alpha- and gamma-HCH undergo complete mineralization. Nevertheless, LinA and LinB catalyzing HCl e ...
2012Biochemistry of Microbial Degradation of Hexachlorocyclohexane and Prospects for Bioremediation
Christof Holliger, Vishakha Raina
Lindane, the gamma-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), is a potent insecticide. Purified lindane or unpurified mixtures of this and alpha-, beta-, and gamma- isomers of HCH were widely used as commercial insecticides in the last half of the 20th century ...
2010Proposal of biostimulation for hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-decontamination and characterization of culturable bacterial community from high-dose point HCH-contaminated soils
To locate a high-dose point hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-contaminated site, to identify HCH-degrading bacteria in it and assay HCH-decontamination by biostimulation. Methods and Results: Bacteria were isolated by serial dilution method from HCH-contaminate ...
2009Occurrence of persistent toxic substances in soils, sediments, fishes and human breast milk in southern Vietnam
Global contamination and toxic effects of persistent toxic substances (PTSs) have been an emerging environmental issue and have received considerable attention during the past four decades. The rapid agricultural and industrial growths as well as the expan ...
