Persistant Organic Pollutants Research Articles
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are chemicals of worldwide concern thanks to their potential for long-range transport, persistence within the environment, ability to bio-magnify and bio-accumulate in ecosystems, also as their significant negative effects on human
health and therefore the environment. Humans are exposed to those chemicals during a sort of ways: mainly through the food we eat, but also through the air we breathe, within the outdoors, indoors and at the workplace. Many products utilized in our daily lives may contain POPs, which are added to enhance product characteristics, like as flame retardants or surfactants. As a result, POPs are often found virtually everywhere on our planet in measurable concentrations.
The most commonly encountered POPs are organochlorine pesticides, like DDT, industrial chemicals, most notably polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), also as unintentional by-products of the many industrial processes, especially polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and dibenzofurans (PCDF), commonly referred to as 'dioxins'.
POPs bio-magnify throughout the organic phenomenon and bio-accumulate in organisms.The very best concentrations of POPs are thus found in organisms at the highest of the organic phenomenon . Consequently, background levels of POPs are often found within the physical body.
Human exposure - for a few compounds and scenarios, even to low levels of POPs - can lead, among others, to increased
cancer risk, reproductive disorders, alteration of the system , neurobehavioural impairment, endocrine disruption,
genotoxicity and increased birth defects.
