Analytical methods of biological monitoring for exposure to pesticides: Recent update
(2007)Extensive use of synthetic pesticides for agricultural and nonagricultural purposes began in the past 50 years. As a result of their wide and extensive application, exposure to hazardous pesticides is a concern to the ... -
Can traditional epidemiology detect cancer risks caused by occupational exposure to pesticides?
(1999)In order to investigate the possible relationship between cancer and occupational exposure to pesticides, we reviewed the latest literature of the epidemiological studies in this area coming to the conclusion that, while ... -
Determination of diphenylamine in contaminated air of agricultural buildings using active sampling on solid sorbents
(2012)This paper reports the results of a study carried out with solid sorbents in order to establish the optimum procedure for sampling and determination of diphenylamine (DPA), the most widely used post-harvest chemical in ... -
Effects of pesticides on occupationally exposed humans
(2006)Pesticides are known to contain numerous genotoxic compounds; however, genotoxicity biomonitoring studies of workers occupationally exposed to pesticides have produced variable results. In this study, we employed the Comet ... -
ENVIRONMENTAL PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENTS, FARMERS, AND OTHER ECONOMICALLY ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL POPULATION NEAR THE PROTECTED AREA OF AXIOS, LOUDIAS AND ALIAKMONAS ESTUARIES, IN GREECE
(2011)This study concerns a protected area in northern Greece and examines how local people's occupation influences their perception of environmental impacts and their views and information about the area. The target groups were ... -
Evaluation of solid sorbents for the determination of fenhexamid, metalaxyl-M, pyrimethanil, malathion and myclobutanil residues in air samples - Application to monitoring malathion and fenhexamid dissipation in greenhouse air using C-18 or Supelpak-2 for sampling
(2006)A methodology is described for greenhouse air analysis by sampling fenhexamid, pyrimethanil, malathion, metalaxyl-M and myclobutanil in solid sorbents. Pesticides were determined by gas chromatography with NP Detector. The ... -
Evaluation of toxicity and genotoxic effects of spinosad and deltamethrin in Drosophila melanogaster and Bactrocera oleae
(2011)BACKGROUND: The insecticides spinosad and deltamethrin are being increasingly used in pest management programmes. In order to assess further their toxic effects to target and non-target insect species, an evaluation was ... -
High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of benzoylurea insecticides residues in grapes and wine using liquid and solid-phase extraction
(1999)A method for the determination of the benzoylurea insecticides diflubenzuron, triflumuron, teflubenzuron, lufenuron and flufenoxuron in grapes and wine by HPLC has been developed and validated. Grape samples (50 g) were ... -
Investigation of the Genotoxic Effect of Pesticides on Greenhouse Workers' Lymphocytes
(2009)In the present study, the genotoxic effects of commonly applied pesticides were evaluated using the alkaline comet assay (pH > 13). The amount of DNA damage (% DNA in tail) in peripheral lymphocytes of 49 male agricultural ... -
Presentation and comments on EU legislation related to food industries-environment interactions: organic contaminants (chemicals, pesticides, dioxins, furans, biocides and their waste management)
(2006)The first part of this review on European Union (EU) legislation related to food industries-environment interactions deals with chemicals which, in their majority, make their way to food. Such substances are the pesticides ... -
Residues of spiroxamine in grapes following field application and their fate from vine to wine
(2005)Dissipation of the fungicide spiroxamine in grapes of two vine varieties, Roditis and Cabernet Sauvignon, exposed to field treatments was evaluated. Vines of a grape vineyard located in central Greece were sprayed once or ...
