Abstract:
Abstract Organochlorine chemicals and lead are environmental exposures that have endocrine disrupting properties (EDCs) which interfere with many aspects of hormone action. Childhood and adolescence are windows of susceptibility for adverse health effects of EDCs. Our ongoing study, the Russian Children’s Study (RCS), is one of the few longitudinal studies investigating the impact of EDCs on growth and puberty in boys. It is conducted in the historically contaminated city of Chapaevsk, in the Samara region. The study focuses on evaluating the associations of persistent organochlorine chemicals and lead with growth and pubertal timing. At enrollment in 2003–2005, we collected blood from 516 boys at ages 8–9 years to measure dioxins, furans, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated pesticides and lead. At enrollment and at annual visits through the ages of 18–19 years, a physician performed physical examinations that included pubertal staging and testicular volume measurements. We review the history of Chapaevsk as a research site and summarize published RCS data on the association of peripubertal serum concentrations of organochlorines and blood lead levels with growth, pubertal onset and sexual maturity. Overall, we found that persistent organochlorines and lead negatively affected growth during puberty. Our results also suggest that total toxic equivalents (TEQs), dioxin-like compounds, organochlorine pesticides and lead may delay, while nondioxin-like-PCBs may advance, the timing of male puberty. These findings promoted remediation programs in Chapaevsk, with improvement in health indicators, resulting in Chapaevsk being designated a member of the World Health Organization (WHO) network “Healthy Cities” in 2015.

Abstract:
Environmental contextOwing to its remoteness, Antarctica is an excellent natural laboratory for conducting studies on the behavior of marine aerosols and for monitoring the impact of global human activities. The aim of this study is to provide an extensive chemical characterization of Antarctic aerosol and to investigate its sources. A distinction among anthropogenic, crustal, and biogenic sources was defined using several chemical markers. AbstractDuring the 2010–11 austral summer, an aerosol sampling campaign was carried out at a coastal Antarctic site (Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land). In this work, previously published data about water-soluble organic compounds and major and trace elements were merged with novel measurements of major ions, carboxylic acids and persistent organic pollutants (polychlorobiphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated naphthalenes, polybrominated diphenylethers and organochlorine pesticides) in order to provide a chemical characterisation of Antarctic aerosol and to investigate its sources. The persistent organic pollutants were determined using a high-volume sampler, able to collect both particulate and gaseous fractions, whereas remaining compounds were determined by performing an aerosol size fractionation with a PM10 cascade impactor. Ionic species represented 58% (350ng m–3) of the sum of concentrations of all detected compounds (596ng m–3) in our Antarctic PM10 aerosol samples due to natural emission. Trace concentrations of persistent organic pollutants highlighted that the occurrence of these species can be due to long-range atmospheric transport or due to the research base. Factor analysis was applied to the dataset obtained from the samples collected with the PM10 sampler in order to make a distinction between anthropogenic, crustal and biogenic sources using specific chemical markers.

Abstract:
Endocrine disrupting chemicals are a group of pollutants that can affect the endocrine system and lead to diseases and dysfunctions across the lifespan of organisms. They are omnipresent. They are in the air we breathe, in the food we eat and in the water we drink. They can be found in our everyday lives through personal care products, household cleaning products, furniture and in children’s toys. Every year, hundreds of new chemicals are produced and released onto the market without being tested, and they reach our bodies through everyday products. Permanent exposure to those chemicals may intensify or even become the main cause for the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer. In recent years, legislation and regulations have been implemented, which aim to control the release of potentially adverse endocrine disrupting chemicals, often invoking the precautionary principle. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of research on environmental aspects of endocrine disrupting chemicals and their effects on human health, based on evidence from animal and human studies. Emphasis is given to three ubiquitous and persistent groups of chemicals, polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and organochlorine pesticides, and on two non-persistent, but ubiquitous, bisphenol A and phthalates. Some selected historical cases are also presented and successful cases of regulation and legislation described. These led to a decrease in exposure and consequent minimization of the effects of these compounds. Recommendations from experts on this field, World Health Organization, scientific reports and from the Endocrine Society are included.

Abstract:
Рассмотрены практические аспекты изменения технологических параметров варки сульфатной хвойной небеленой целлюлозы применительно к условиям АО «Группа «Илим», филиал в г. Усть-Илимск, в условиях работы варочной установки непрерывного действия с превышением проектной производительности. Произведённые укрупненные технологические расчеты показали необходимость реконструкции варочно-промывного участка с целью устранения негативных последствий, к которым привело увеличение производительности установленного ранее технологического агрегата при попытке соблюдения приемлемых экологических показателей деятельности предприятия. Достижение оптимального сочетания производительности производства, качества продукции и экологичности целлюлозно-бумажного предприятия является целью любой реконструкции производства и совершенствования технологии. Работа варочной установки непрерывного действия в перегруженном режиме приводит к сокращению продолжительности технологических процессов пропитки древесной щепы и последующей сульфатной варки, вызывает проблемы с равномерностью продвижения древесной щепы в зонах варочного котла и приводит к снижению эффективности промывки полученной целлюлозы. Поскольку повышение мощности варочной установки приводит к получению жесткой целлюлозы, из которой остаточный лигнин может быть удален только при включении в технологическую схему отбелки дополнительной стадии отбелки с применением хлора, то содержание хлорорганических соединений в сточных водах варочно-промывного отдела предприятия превышает допустимые экологические нормы. Предложен вариант реконструкции варочной установки непрерывного действия, позволяющий повысить эффективность производства сульфатной целлюлозы с достижением требуемых показателей сброса загрязняющих веществ в окружающую среду. Для устранения негативных последствий работы варочной установки в условиях значительного превышения её проектной производительности необходимо дополнительно установить пропиточную колонну и увеличить зону варки за счёт опускания экстракционных сит в зону диффузионной промывки варочного котла. The article discusses the practical aspects of changing the technological parameters of cooking sulfate coniferous unbleached cellulose in relation to the conditions of «Group «Ilim», a branch in Ust-Ilimsk, in the conditions of operation of a continuous cooking plant with exceeding the design capacity. The enlarged technological calculations have shown the need for reconstruction of the cooking and washing area in order to eliminate the negative consequences, which resulted in an increase in the productivity of the previously installed technological unit while trying to comply with acceptable environmental performance indicators of the enterprise. Achieving an optimal combination of production productivity, product quality and environmental friendliness of a pulp and paper enterprise is the goal of any production reconstruction and technology improvement. The operation of the continuous cooking unit in an overloaded mode leads to a reduction in the duration of the technological processes of impregnation of wood chips and subsequent sulfate cooking, causes problems with uniformity of movement of the wood chips in the zones of the digester and leads to a decrease in the efficiency of washing the resulting pulp. Since an increase in the capacity of the cooking unit leads to the production of rigid cellulose, from which residual lignin can be removed only when an additional bleaching stage using chlorine is included in the bleaching technological scheme, the content of organochlorine compounds in the wastewater of the cooking and washing department of the enterprise exceeds permissible environmental standards. The article proposes a variant of the reconstruction of a continuous cooking plant, which allows to increase the efficiency of the production of sulfate cellulose with the achievement of the required indicators of the discharge of pollutants into the environment. To eliminate the negative consequences of the operation of the cooking unit in conditions of a significant excess of its design the capacity, it is necessary to additionally install an impregnation column and increase the cooking zone by lowering extraction sieves into the zone of diffusion washing of the digester.

Voropaeva,Viktoriay A. Kolomytseva, DOI: https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.spl.10/2020.06.00042 Abstract: This study was aimed at examining the influence of succession cropping on the economic efficiency of no-till field crop rotations on the black earth in the zone of unstable moistening of the Stavropol krai. A long-term stationary experiment was conducted to examine for the purpose nine field crop rotation patterns different in the number of fields (four to six), set of crops, and their succession in crop rotation. The respective shares of legumes, oilseeds, and cereals in the cropping pattern were 17 to 33, 17 to 40, and 50 to 67 %. It has been established that in case of no-till field crop cultivation the economic efficiency of plant production depends on the set of crops and their succession in rotation. The most economically efficient type of crop rotation is the soya-winter wheat-peas-winter wheat-sunflower-corn six-field rotation with two fields of legumes: in this rotation 1 ha of crop rotation area yields 3 850 grain units per ha at a grain unit prime cost of 5.46 roubles; the plant production output return and profitability were 20,888 roubles per ha and 113 %, respectively. The high production profitabilities provided by the soya-winter wheat-sunflower four-field and the soya-winter-wheat-sunflower-corn-winter wheat five-field crop rotation are 108.7 and 106.2 %, respectively. The inclusion of winter wheat in crop rotation for two years in a row reduces the second winter wheat crop yield by 80 to 100 %, which means a certain reduction in the grain unit harvesting rate to 3.48-3.57 thousands per ha of rotation area and cuts the production profitability down to 84.4-92.3 %. This is why, no-till cropping should not include winter wheat for a second time Keywords: No-till technology,crop rotation,predecessor,yield,return,profitability, Refference: I Badakhova G.

View | Download DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF AUTONOMOUS PORTABLE SEISMOMETER DESIGNED FOR USE AT ULTRALOW TEMPERATURES IN ARCTIC ENVIRONMENT Authors: Mikhail A. Abaturov,Yuriy V. Sirotinskiy, DOI: https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.spl.10/2020.06.00043 Abstract: This paper is concerned with solving one of the issues of the general problem of designing geophysical equipment for the natural climatic environment of the Arctic. The relevance of the topic has to do with an increased global interest in this region. The paper is aimed at considering the basic principles of developing and the procedure of testing seismic instruments for use at ultralow climatic temperatures. In this paper the indicated issue is considered through the example of a seismic module designed for petroleum and gas exploration by passive seismoacoustic methods. The seismic module is a direct-burial portable unit of around 5 kg in weight, designed to continuously measure and record microseismic triaxial orthogonal (ZNE) noise in a range from 0.1 to 45 Hz during several days in autonomous mode. The functional chart of designing the seismic module was considered, and concrete conclusions were made for choosing the necessary components to meet the ultralow-temperature operational requirements. The conclusions made served for developing appropriate seismic module. In this case, the components and tools used included a SAFT MP 176065 xc low-temperature lithium cell, industrial-spec electronic component parts, a Zhaofeng Geophysical ZF-4.5 Chinese primary electrodynamic seismic sensor, housing seal parts made of frost-resistant silicone materials, and finely dispersed silica gel used as water-retaining sorbent to avoid condensation in the housing. The paper also describes a procedure of low-temperature collation tests at the lab using a New Brunswick Scientific freezing plant. The test results proved the operability of the developed equipment at ultralow temperatures down to -55°C. In addition, tests were conducted at low microseismic noises in the actual Arctic environment. The possibility to detect signals in a range from 1 to 10 Hz at the level close to the NLNM limit (the Peterson model) has been confirmed, which allows monitoring and exploring petroleum and gas deposits by passive methods. As revealed by this study, the suggested approaches are efficient in developing high-precision mobile seismic instruments for use at ultralow climatic temperatures. The solution of the considered instrumentation and methodical issues is of great practical significance as a constituent of the generic problem of Arctic exploration.

Lartsev,Dmitrii A. Rasputin,Sergey D. Zuev-Ratnikov,Pavel V.Ryzhov,Dmitry S. Kudashev,Anton A. Bogdanov, DOI: https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.spl.10/2020.06.00044 Abstract: The article considers the problem of surgical correction of the second metatarsal bone length. The article analyzes the results of treatment of patients with excess length of the second metatarsal bones that underwent osteotomy with and without osteosynthesis. The results of treatment of patients who underwent metatarsal shortening due to classical Weil-osteotomy with and without osteosynthesis were analyzed. The first group consisted of 34 patients. They underwent classical Weil osteotomy. The second group included 44 patients in whomosteotomy of the second metatarsal bone were not by the screw. When studying the results of the treatment in the immediate postoperative period, weeks 6, 12, slightly better results were observed in patients of the first group, while one year after surgical treatment the results in both groups were comparable. One year after surgical treatment, there were 2.9% (1 patient) of unsatisfactory results in the first group and 4.5% (2 patients) in the second group. Considering the comparability of the results of treatment in remote postoperative period, the choice of concrete method remains with the operating surgeon.

Methods. A prospective 3-year study of 86 healthy dogs (aged 1-7 yrs) of different breeds and of both sexes. Echo homogeneity and echogenicity of the stomach and intestines wall were determined by the method of Silina, T.L., et al. (2010) in absolute values ​​of average brightness levels of ultrasound image pixels using the 8-bit scale with 256 shades of gray. Results. Quantitative echogenicity indicators of the stomach and the small intestine wall in dogs were determined. Based on the numerical values ​​characterizing echogenicity distribution in each layer of a separate structure of the digestive system, the coefficient of gastric echogenicity is determined as 1:2.4:1.1 (mucosa/submucosa/muscle layers, respectively), the coefficient of duodenum and jejunum echogenicity is determined as 1:3.5:2 and that of ileum is 1:1.8:1. Clinical significance. The echogenicity coefficient of the wall of the digestive system allows an objective assessment of the stomach and intestines wall and can serve as the basis for a quantitative assessment of echogenicity changes for various pathologies of the digestive system Keywords: Ultrasound (US),echogenicity,echogenicity coefficient,digestive system,dogs,stomach,intestines, Refference: I.

When studying the temporal organization of physiological functions, the rhythm parameters of physiological functions were determined, followed by processing the results using the Cosinor Analysis program, which reveals rhythms with an unknown period for unequal observations, evaluates 5 parameters of sinusoidal rhythms (mesor, amplitude, acrophase, period, reliability). The essence of desynchronization is the mismatch of circadian rhythms among themselves or destruction of the rhythms architectonics (instability of acrophases or their disappearance). Desynchronization with respect to the rhythmic structure of the body is of a disregulatory nature, most pronounced in pathological desynchronization. High neurotism, increased anxiety reinforces the tendency to internal desynchronization, which increases with stress. During examination stress, students experience a decrease in the stability of the temporary organization of the biosystem and the tension of adaptive mechanisms develops, which affects attention, mental performance and the quality of adaptation to the educational process. Time is shortened and the amplitude of the “initial minute” decreases, personal and situational anxiety develops, and the level of psychophysiological adaptation decreases. The results of the work are priority because they can be used in assessing quality and level of health.

Tsvetkov, DOI: https://doi.org/10.26782/jmcms.spl.10/2020.06.00047 Abstract: The present study of comparison methods based on the triadic model introduces the following concepts: the relation of comparability and the relation of comparison, and object comparison and attributive comparison. The difference between active and passive qualitative comparison is shown, two triadic models of passive and active comparison and models for comparing two and three objects are described. Triadic comparison models are proposed as an alternative to dyadic comparison models. Comparison allows finding the common and the different; this approach is proposed for the analysis of the nomothetic and ideographic method of obtaining knowledge. The nomothetic method identifies and evaluates the general, while the ideographic method searches for unique in parameters and in combinations of parameters. Triadic comparison is used in systems and methods of argumentation, as well as in the analysis of consistency/inconsistency.

Abstract:
Chlorinated aromatic compounds are an important group of compounds. Many of them have been produced in large quantities and they are indispensable to technological and societal benefits. But regulatory agencies have tightened regulations on the use and release of chlorinated aromatic compounds because of the scientific understanding of their toxicity, persistence, behavior in the environment and their potential to cause adverse effects on the ecosystem and human health.
Pentachlorophenol (PCP), octachloronaphthalene and decachlorobiphenyl are all highly chlorinated aromatic compounds, of which, PCP has been used mainly as a biocide. Octachloronaphthalene and decachlorobiphenyl don't have practical use, but their congeners have been used widely as chemicals in industry. These compounds are toxic, recalcitrant and bio-accumulated within organisms. As the conventional treatment, incineration of these compounds can cause more serious problems, so that suitable alternatives need to be developed for their detoxification.
When compared with biodegradation or the thermal treatment of these compounds, chemical degradations have several merits. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

"Variation in concentrations of organochlorine pesticides in crop rhizosphere soils." Thesis, 2006. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6074258.

Full text
Abstract:
In soils spiked with gamma-HCH & DDT, and transplanted with wheat, the differences of gamma-HCH between the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils increased with time, reached the peak on 30th sampling day, and then decreased with time. In the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils, pp'-DDE/SigmaDDTs, op'-DDD/SigmaDDTs and pp'-DDD/SigmaDDTs increased with time; whilst op'-DDT/SigmaDDT and pp'-DDT/SigmaDDT decreased with time. The wheat, corn and soybean rhizosphere soils differed greatly in soil properties, but it was hard to conclude the effect of crop roots on the variation in concentration of gamma-HCH, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDT in the rhizosphere soils except for root accumulation and translocation.
In the control, wheat and corn rhizosphere soils, the n-hexane extracted fraction of gamma-HCH, DDE, DDD and DDT decreased with time whereas the hexane/acetone extracted fraction increased with time after the 20th sampling day. The n-hexane extracted forms were higher in the rhizosphere soils than those in the non-rhizosphere soils, while the hexane/acetone extracted forms were lower in the rhizosphere soils than in the non-rhizosphere soils.
In the wheat, corn rhizosphere soils and the control, the concentration of NO3-N showed a significant negative correlation with n-hexane extracted DDE, DDD and DDT residues and a significant positive correlation with hexane/acetone extracted residues. The concentration of ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) showed a significant negative correlation with hexane extracted gamma-HCH, DDE, DDD and DDT residues in the control, corn and wheat rhizosphere soils: but only had significant positive correlation with the n-hexane/acetone extracted fraction in the corn rhizosphere soil. The positive correlations between the n-hexane extracted residues of the target pesticides and soil OC were seldom significant in the control, sometimes significant in the wheat rhizosphere soils, and always strong and significant in the corn rhizosphere soils. The correlation of the n-hexane/acetone extracted residues with soil OC was positive and sometimes significant in the wheat rhizosphere soils, and significant and negative in the corn rhizosphere soils. The results indicated that the concentrations of different OCPs extracted from were strongly influenced by nutritional conditions and soil organic carbon.
Organic carbon (OC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and cultivation period were tested to explore their potential effects on target OCPs in the rhizosphere soils. The concentration of the target OCPs in the wheat rhizosphere soils increased proportionally to soil OC, whilst the uptake of OCPs by wheat roots and further translocation to the aboveground part were inversely proportional to soil OC. DOC only showed a negative correlation with concentration of p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDT in the corn rhizosphere soils. After a longer root-soil interaction, roots had a more significant effect on the concentration of OCPs in the rhizosphere soils closer to the root surface.
The variation of different forms of OCPs in rhizosphere soils and their relationships with nitrogen nutrients and organic carbon were studied.
Variations in concentrations of organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residues in the rhizosphere soils were evaluated using rhizoboxes. A sequential extraction method was developed to study the fractionation and extractability of OCPs in rhizosphere soils. The key findings are as follows:

Abstract:
This thesis examines how the secondary effects of environmental regulations are assessed before the regulations are proclaimed. Negative secondary effects of a policy (such as regulation) may outweigh direct benefits; it is important that secondary effects are clearly assessed. The case study is the control of organochlorines in the Canadian pulp and paper industry via federal regulation of dioxins and furans and British Columbia's regulation of Adsorbable Organic Halogen (AOX). The thesis is founded upon the premise that sustainability must be an integral consideration. A systems approach is used to evaluate assessments and to generate recommendations. The evaluation is divided into two parts: the process of assessing the regulation and the contents of the assessments. Background information is provided on organochlorines, pulp and paper making, the pulp and paper industry and the relevant regulatory processes. A chronology of the regulation is established. Assessments are reviewed from five classes of stakeholders: industry, labour, environmentalists, the federal government and the British Columbia government. The study found that secondary impacts of the regulation were less important than the primary action, which was managing the risk posed by organochlorines in effluent. For the secondary assessments, stakeholders felt problems with the process were greater than shortcomings in content. In particular, governments' lack of response to submissions caused a lack of confidence in the system, which was well-founded in British Columbia's highly political process. The federal Regulatory Impact Analysis Statements gave a valuable but limited summary of impact assessments and the rationale behind the regulations. To improve the process of creating environmental regulation I recommend that the federal government assemble a reference document for assessments, that all levels of government institute class assessments for general cases, and that all stakeholders use a consistent, multiobjective framework. The proposed framework is presented.

Abstract:
At present, South Africa has inadequate technology to destroy its hazardous waste, with approximately 18000 litres of chlorinated hazardous waste stored in this country. Approximately 800 tons of banned or obsolete chemicals are to be sent to Pontypool. Wales, for incineration, at a considerable cost. Because of the toxic nature of chlorinated waste and their long-term effects on the environment , a sustainable method of dealing with this type of waste is essential. Gas phase destruction of methylene chloride, trichlorobenzene and lindane by pyrolysis (i.e. heating in the absence of oxygen) was attempted. Destruction was effected by high temperature thermal degradation of molecules into free radicals. These radicals then combine to form hydrogen chloride and carbon as major products. This method was chosen so as to eliminate the possible formation of highly toxic oxygenated derivatives such as polychlorinated dibenzofurans and dibenzodioxins that can be formed during incineration if strict control is not excercised. The reactor assembly was built in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Natal. 11 incorporates aspects of many different previously designed reactors, as discussed in the text. Heat for the reactions was supplied by induction. A high frequency induction unit supplied current to a copper coil. The resulting magnetic field induced current to flow in a susceptor housed within the copper coil. The susceptor in this case was a graphite tube, which served as both the heating element and the thermal radiation source, in addition to forming the walls of the reaction zone. Up and down stream processes were designed and experiments were carried out in which reaction temperatures (348-1400°C) and residence times (1.3-5.6 seconds) were varied. Destruction efficiencies of 100% and 99.99% were obtained for methylene chloride and trichlorobenzene respectively, with inert argon used as the carrier gas. These destruction efficiencies comply with the 99.99% stipulated by the United States Conservation and Recovery Act. A cause for concern was the formation of chlorinated benzenes and naphthalenes. Destruction of lindane proved unsuccessful due to limitations in the vapourisation and feed system and will have to be investigated further. The method of induction heating was evaluated to be 98.9% thermally efficient. Raw material and utility consumption per ton of waste destroyed by the pyrolysis process was compared to values for incineration as well as the plasma arc and catalytic extraction processes. Consumption for pyrolysis compares favourably with all three processes and suggests that the process could be competitive. Claims to the success of the technology on a wide scale are limited by the small number of compounds that were successfully pyrolysed. Results do however indicate much promise for this technology to be used as a fi nal chlorinated waste destruction unit on an existing process. Modifications to the existing reactor to improve product recovery and analys is will allow for temperature and residence time optimisation for a variety of wastes. Additional in strumentation and process control will allow for kinetic studies to be undertaken in future. This project should be considered as the first step in an ongoing series of research and subsequent improvements to the technology presented here.

Abstract:
The Arctic has long been considered to be a pristine environment, far from population centers and pollution sources. The detection of synthetic organochlorine compounds in various elements of the Arctic food web has confirmed the global dispersion of pollutants, particularly of persistent compounds such as organochlorines and heavy metals. Levels of heavy metals, although elevated, appear to be naturally so throughout much of the Arctic. Arctic pollution is both a humanitarian and ecological concern. Many arctic coastal communities depend heavily on marine mammal fat for sustenance, and are therefore potentially exposed to high levels of organochlorines and some metals. From an ecological perspective, the structure of arctic food webs, the importance of lipid mobilization for winter survival, and the adaptive physiologies of arctic organisms may result in an enhanced response to contaminant exposure. This thesis assesses the exposure and effect of organochlorine and heavy metal exposure in inland freshwater ecosystems of Arctic Alaska, and evaluates the physiological response of arctic grayling to experimental polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure.

"Bioaccumulation of organochlorine pesticides and biomarker responses in Hydrocynus vittatus and Synodontis zambezensis from the Lower Phongolo River and Floodplain, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa." Thesis, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10210/13848.

Full text
Abstract:
M.Sc. (Zoology)
Concern has been shown by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife for the state of the Lower Pongolo River and Floodplain due to the ever increasing urban and industrial development in the area. This increase in development poses a threat to the fish populations within the system and their ability to support the surrounding communities. Continued spraying of pesticides e.g. DDT within the area are adding to stresses placed on the fish populations through decreasing water quality. The effectiveness of environmental water flows suggested by White et al. (1984), have never been assessed by conservation authorities. This means that the authorities have been unable to fulfil their legislative obligations to establish management and conservation plans (Hughes et al., 2001). Work on the biological responses of fish to anthropogenic stressors such as organic pollutants and metals; have been conducted by a group of experts in the field of ecological health. This section of the project focusses on two fish species, Hydrocynus vittatus and Synodontis zambezensis, sampled within the study area and used for biomarkers and tissue chemical level determination. Standard techniques were applied for Organochlorine Pesticide (OCP) analysis according to Yohannes et al. (2013) and these results have been compared to biomarker responses which have also been completed following standard protocols. Results found within both fish species, show the relationship between accumulation of toxicants and biomarker responses. The highest levels of ΣOCPs where found within H. vittatus at (Mean ± SE) 1101.61 ± 610.97 ng/g lipid weight, the highest constituent being technical grade Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). High levels of ΣDDT were also found in S. zambezensis, but were lower than levels in H. vittatus and these levels correspond with positioning of each species within the food web. H. vittatus occupies a much higher level in the food web as they are top predators and S. zambezensis falls lower down on the food web due to their reliance on detritus and only small invertebrate species for food. Biomarker responses are clearly affected by bioaccumulation levels and this is especially evident within H. vittatus as Achetylcholinesterase (AChE) is greatly inhibited by high levels of ΣDDT. Changes in the level of biomarker responses are not as apparent in S. zambezensis and this is believed to be food web linked, due to differences in bioconcentration. Data collected during this study will contribute to baseline data on S. zambezensis and add to already accumulated data on H. vittatus. This new data will also help with the improvement of or alteration to already present monitoring programmes in the study area.
