Endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate are persistent organic pollutants that cause serious
environmental problems. Although these compounds are already prohibited in many …

Three bacterial isolates enriched from historically contaminated soil samples were
investigated for their ability to use 100 mg L− 1 of technical grade endosulfan as sole source …

The distributions of endosulfan (ED) residues (α-, β-isomers, and sulfate-metabolite) in
cucumbers grown in soils treated with ED at concentrations of 20 and 40 mg kg-1 were …

The distribution and concentration of some organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in the soil
around a pesticide factory in Zibo, China, were examined, including …
