(Elsevier, 2018-04)DDT [1, 1, 1-trichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)-ethane] compounds are used for indoor residual spraying (IRS) to control malaria mosquitoes. DDT is an endocrine disruptor chemical in experimental conditions, but little is ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-08)The aquatic environment can contain numerous micropollutants and there are concerns about endocrine activity in environmental waters and the potential impacts on human and ecosystem health. In this study a complementary ...
-
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2015-05)BACKGROUND : Few data exist regarding anti-Müllerian hormone, a marker of ovarian reserve, in relation to environmental factors with potential ovarian toxicity. METHODS : This analysis included 420 women from Limpopo, ...

(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-08)OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk of external urogenital birth defects (UGBDs) in newborn boys from a malarial area currently sprayed with technical DDT, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2- bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT), as increased ...
-
(Elsevier, 2010-04)The insecticide DDT is still used in specific areas of South Africa for indoor residual spray (IRS) to control malaria vectors. Local residents could be exposed to residues of DDT through various pathways including indoor ...
-
(Elsevier, 2009)DDT is used for indoor residual spraying (IRS) in Limpopo Province, northern South Africa to control malaria. Through IRS, DDT may reach the outdoor environment via dust and air and from possible spillages during application. ...

Endocrine-disrupting activity of the fungicide mancozeb used in the Vhembe District of South Africa (NISC (Pty) Ltd and Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor & Francis Group), 2021)Many chemicals released into the environment are believed to disrupt normal endocrine functions in humans and animals. A major group of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that could be responsible for reproductive defects ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-08)This study deals with disorders of sexual development in humans, wildlife and animals in an urban nature reserve (RNR) and a currently DDT-sprayed malarial area. High levels of oestrogenic chemical residues in water, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012-10)Inhabitants of dwellings treated with DDT for indoor residual spraying show high DDT levels in blood and breast milk. This is of concern since mothers transfer lipid-soluble contaminants such as DDT via breastfeeding to ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-11)Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in the environment and have been detected in drinking water from various countries. Although various water treatment processes can remove EDCs, chemicals can also migrate ...
-
(IWA Publishing, 2018-04)Potential endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are present in bottled water from various countries. In South Africa (SA), increased bottled water consumption and concomitant increases in plastic packaging create important ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015-10)In malaria-endemic areas, where DDT is still used for vector control by indoor residual spraying (IRS), the concentrations of DDT in human blood and breast milk are high, and there are indications of human health impacts. ...
