Biomonitoring of organophosphate exposure of pesticide sprayers and comparison of exposure levels with other population groups in Thessaly (Greece)
(2014)Objectives To evaluate the exposure of different population groups in Thessaly (Greece) to organophosphate pesticides (OPs) and investigate the dependence of exposure levels on pesticide application practices, personal ... -
The dissipation of three fungicides in a biobed organic substrate and their impact on the structure and activity of the microbial community
(2013)Biopurification systems (BPS) have been introduced to minimise the risk for point source contamination of natural water resources by pesticides. Their depuration efficiency relies mostly on the high biodegradation of their ... -
Key parameters and practices controlling pesticide degradation efficiency of biobed substrates
(2012)We studied the contribution of each of the components of a compost-based biomixture (BX), commonly used in Europe, on pesticide degradation. The impact of other key parameters including pesticide dose, temperature and ... -
Novel biomixtures based on local Mediterranean lignocellulosic materials: Evaluation for use in biobed systems
(2010)The composition of biomixtures strongly affect the efficacy of biobeds. Typically, biomixture consists of peat (or compost), straw (SIR) and topsoil (1:2:1 by volume). Straw guarantees a continuous supply of nutrients and ... -
Optimization of Biomixture Composition and Water Management for Maximum Pesticide Dissipation in Peat-Free Biobeds
(2012)Biomixture composition and water management are key factors controlling biobeds performance. Although compost-biomixtures (BXs) possess high degradation efficiency, their low water-holding capacity compared with peat-biomixtures ... -
Quantitative and qualitative differences in the metabolism of pesticides in biobed substrates and soil
(2013)Biobed substrates commonly exhibit high degradation capacity. However, degradation does not always lead to detoxification and information on the metabolic pathways of pesticides in biobeds is scarce. We studied the degradation ... -
Relationship between the paraoxonase 1 (PON1) M55L and Q192R polymorphisms and lymphohaematopoietic cancers in a Greek agricultural population
(2013)The aim of this study was to investigate the association between Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene polymorphisms (M55L and Q192R) and lymphohaematopoietic cancers (LHC) in an agricultural region of Greece. A hospital-based ...
