Article Synopsis
- The study examined the endocrine-disrupting effects of six organophosphate esters (OPEs), finding that all tested aryl-OPEs negatively impacted hormone receptors.
- Para-OH-TPHP was identified as the most potent disruptor, inhibiting multiple hormone receptors and significantly affecting gene expression related to hormone synthesis.
- All compounds tested caused developmental abnormalities in zebrafish and influenced reproductive behaviors, suggesting serious environmental and health risks associated with these chemicals.
Greenhouses are increasingly important in human food supply. Pesticides used in greenhouses play important roles in horticulture; however, little is known about their behavior in greenhouse environments. This work investigates the dissipation and enantioselctive degradation of plant growth retardants including paclobutrazol and uniconazole in soils under three conditions (i.

The concentration (ng g(-1) dryweight) ranges of HCHs and DDTs in surface sediments were 0.74-5.
