Although habitat loss is of greatest concern, other anthropogenic factors including environmental contamination may also affect lemur health and survival. In this study, we examined ring-tailed lemurs from the Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve (BMSR), southern Madagascar for exposure to organochlorine (OC) pesticides and metals and examined differences in contaminant concentrations between sexes and among age groups, troops, and habitats. A total of 14 pesticides and 13 metals was detected in lemur blood (24 individuals) and hair (65 individuals) samples, respectively. p,p0-DDT, heptachlor, aldrin, heptachlor epoxide, endrin aldehyde, and endrin were among the most prevalent pesticides detected.

  • A Retrospective Analysis of the Immunotoxicity Study (OCSPP Test Guideline No
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 OFFICE OF CHEMICAL SAFETY AND POLLUTION PREVENTION MEMORANDUM Date: February, 2013 SUBJECT: A Retrospective Analysis of the Immunotoxicity Study (OCSPP Test Guideline No. 870. 7800) PC Code: NA DP Barcode: NA Decision No.: NA Registration No.: NA Petition No.: NA Regulatory Action: NA Risk Assessment Type: NA Case No.: NA TXRNo.: NA CAS No.: NA MRIDNo.: NA 40CFR: NA Ver.Apr. 20 l 0 FROM: Jess Rowland le..s.s. (C .... u.. ~""'-"-­ Associate Director Health Effects Division TO: Jack Housenger, Director Health Effects Division In 2011, CropLife America (CLA) conducted a retrospective evaluation of 82 irnmunotoxicity studies to determine the potential regulatory impact of this study. The assessment concluded that the large majority of studies demonstrated no treatment-related effects at the high dose level for the given study and in no case was the irnmunotoxicity finding the most sensitive endpoint when compared to other existing toxicity endpoints in the data base, indicating the lack of impact ofthese studies on human health risk assessments. Based on their findings, the CLA requested that the Agency begin granting waivers for the irnmunotoxicity guideline study based on its authority under 40 CFR § 15 8.45 to grant waivers for studies for which "the data would not be useful in the Agency's evaluation of the risks or benefits of the product." In 2012, the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) similarly conducted a retrospective analysis of over 170 irnmunotoxicity studies (including the 82 chemicals evaluated by CLA) for the purpose of 1) assessing if the results of the guideline immunotoxicity study impact human health risk assessment; 2) determining whether there is sufficient justification for granting waivers for this immunotoxicity study; and 3) proposing a path forward.

The standard will replace the current MRL Standard (GB 2763-2014) and will be implemented on June 18, 2017. This report provides an unofficial translation of the standard. Editors’ Note: The asterisk appearing in the MRL column means that the limit is a temporary MRL. A temporary MRL is usually set under the following four conditions: 1. The dietary risk assessment data is incomplete; 2. The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) is temporary (ADI is used as the basis for MRL setting); 3. There is no surveillance or analysis method for the MRL that complies with the standard requirements; 4. In emergency situations, the pesticide is approved to be used on un-registered crops.

Thus, the development of different removal strategies has stimulated a new research drive in environmental remediation. Different techniques such as adsorption, bioremediation, phytoremediation and ozonation have been explored. These techniques aim at either degrading or removal of the organochlorine pesticides from the environment but have different drawbacks. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a relatively new technique that has become popular due to its ability to completely degrade different toxic pollutants—instead of transferring them from one medium to another. The process is driven by a renewable energy source, and semiconductor nanomaterials are used to construct the light energy harvesting assemblies due to their rich surface states, large surface areas and different morphologies compared to their corresponding bulk materials.

Bees are essential for pollination of many fruit crops. contribute significantly to the yield and quality of fruit crops in the United States. Pollination services provided by bees 2. Bees and other pollinators can be harmed by some are worth billions of dollars annually to fruit crop industries pesticides used to manage insects, mites and diseases across the nation. Fruit crops vary in their need for bees to in fruit crops. deliver pollen for pollination, but most — including apples, 3. Growers can reduce pesticide risk to bees through blueberries, cherries, strawberries and raspberries — will these approaches: produce larger and more even fruit if their flowers are well - Develop and implement a pollination contract with visited by bees. For all these crops, having healthy bees your beekeeper. to provide pollination is essential for their production, so - Use integrated pest management (IPM) to reduce protecting bees from pesticide risk is an important part of the need for sprays. growing fruit crops. - Avoid pesticide sprays during crop bloom.
