Health and environmental effects of persistent organic pollutants

Alharbi, Omar M.L., Basheer, Al Arsh, Khattab, Rafat A., Ali, Imran·2018·Journal of Molecular Liquids

Abstract

Abstract Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are considered as the silent killers due to their bio-accumulative and long persistent natures. These are present everywhere in our environment including plants, animals and human beings. These are responsible for various lethal diseases and environmental problems. The different diseases due to POPs are diabetes, obesity, endocrine disturbance, cancer, cardiovascular, reproductive and environmental problems. The scientists, Governments and NGOs are very much concerned with POPs pollution and hazards. The present article describes the recent studies on the health and environmental problems due to pollution of POPs. Besides, future prospectives, convention and regulation, control and removal measures of POPs have also been discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
