As dieldrin was manufactured as an insecticide, sediment-dwelling aquatic microinvertebrates (insects, e.g., midges) are very sensitive to dieldrin. In species that are particularly sensitive to dieldrin, the differences between concentrations causing acute lethality and chronic toxicity are small, with acute–chronic ratios ranging from 2.4 ...

Dieldrin has a half-life of approximately three hundred days in the human body (Kanthasamy et al., 2005). As a result, dieldrin has a tendency to accumulate in the body and pose health risks. Exposure to certain pesticides, including dieldrin, has been linked to Parkinson’s disease (Hatcher et al., 2007). However, research has not been able ...

Dieldrin has a log octanol–water partition coefficient of 6.2 and a density of 1.75 g cc −1 at 20 °C. Partition Behavior in Water, Sediment, and Soil. Consistent with its intended use on insects in soil, dieldrin is not very water soluble. However, dieldrin readily binds to sediment, but rarely leaches into deeper soil layers and groundwater.

Dieldrin is a synthetic organochlorine insecticide that was primarily used on crops, and it inhibits the function of the central nervous system, causing convulsions in humans at high concentrations. AI generated definition based on: Encyclopedia of Toxicology (Third Edition), 2014

Dieldrin is a synthetic organochlorine insecticide that persists in soils for up to 5 years, showing moderate to significant bioaccumulation in aquatic species. It inhibits GABA-regulated chloride transport, leading to hyperexcitability of the central nervous system and convulsions in humans at high concentrations.

Dieldrin was a very effective soil insecticide, especially for perennial crops, such as sugar cane, palm, and banana. Dieldrin has also been used to control tsetse flies and other vectors of tropical diseases, including malaria, yellow fever, Chagas disease, Oraya fever, African sleeping sickness, river blindness, and filariasis (de Jong, 1991 ...

Dieldrin was widely used as an insecticide around the world until the middle 1970s, mainly for the control of soil pests, such as termites, grasshoppers, locusts, beetles, and textile pests, and for the treatment of seeds. Dieldrin was a very effective soil insecticide, especially for perennial crops, such as sugar cane, palm, and banana.

2001年12月1日 · Dieldrin also induced rapid, dose-dependent releases of dopamine and its metabolite, DOPAC, resulting in depletion of intracellular dopamine. Additionally, dieldrin exposure caused depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential …

2024年6月25日 · Indeed, soil dieldrin concentration can influence the dieldrin concentration for some organs and zucchini varieties (SI 9) as highlighted by Mattina et al. (2004) and Colin et al. (2024) who evidenced a linear relationship between roots, stems and leaves and soil concentrations ranging between <5 and 4600 μg kg −1 of chlordane, and between 0 ...
