World to a newly arrived baby's body of harmful chemicals , was it ever comes to your mind could be accumulated from even born ? However , hundreds of industrial compounds that accumulate in the tissues during the mother's life passes through the placenta into the baby's bloodstream . These compounds , while sucking milk after birth even in large doses, will enter the baby's body . Unfortunately, their exposure to even a small amount today , from cancer to mental retardation , infertility, there are a growing number of the evidence may cause mild or severe a problem as the immune system disorders . However, some permanent damage , the child may show itself until it becomes an adult.
Maybe you work in the chemical industry. Even to imagine -pekçok away from pollution sources, albeit big, you can live in a clean environment. However, you will be exposed to chemicals. How Does? Of course, we all share the food, air and by water! Because we are living now has become a repository of industrial waste in the world. For example, since 1940, the production of synthetic organic chemicals present in the United States has increased to forty times. More than 70,000 industrial chemicals are produced and sold. Some of these half a billion kilos per year are produced. Many of them are resistant to natural weathering and time through wind and water currents have spread to the world. Thus, hundreds, or even thousands of manmade chemicals from the deep ocean to the North Pole, to reach anywhere up our circulation of blood from the river and spread. We have tried to draw attention to the chemical name of organochlorines in business form an important part of such a danger. Whether you are here for a little stand-sea, 'combating the enemy must first begin to recognize him' on the fact; us, before mentioning the harmful effects of the environment and even to all future generations, we are in contact every day as a way to know this and we can not avoid the kinds of organochlorines.

So What are organochlorines?

Organochlorines are organic chemical compounds containing one or more chlorine atoms. Durable nature and bio-accumulation (aggregates) are due organochloric-Lori, is polluting the planet almost every inch. Any industrial sources, even in the remote polar regions, very kind and number of organochlorine, whales, seals and polar bears can be found in the tissue. Likewise, they enter in to our bodies. Hundreds of toxic (poisonous), organochlorine, even those not exposed to more pollution, the fat-present in breast milk, is found in the blood and breath. Airborne particles can organochlorine, clone-run in reaching the stratosphere ozone can react and block the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun pierces the shield. The cause of all the contamination is not organochlorines, of course; Some metals and synthetic organic chemicals are chlorine-free klorsuzlaştırıl constitute a danger to public health. But organochlorines; environment, including harmful pollutants to wildlife and human tissues, formal and informal occupies the most important place in all the official list.

These contaminants are all chlorine gas and industrial production of chemicals derived from it occurs during use and disposal. For this it is necessary to process called chlorine chemistry. Chlorine chemistry starts in an extremely strong electric current is passed through a brine solution to large chemical plants. Its chemical name is sodium chloride with salt, so that we know salt is actually circulating in your body and the ecosystem and establish a link with the organic material in any way that we are, it is a natural compound. However, electrical energy using salts of chloride ions contained in the highly effective nature and is converted to green chlorine gas. The chemical structure of chlorine atom, chlorine gas and organochlorines provides a number of useful features; but the same features to create a very large problems from an environmental perspective. First, chlorine is very reactive. quickly forms a bond with all organic ingredients that come across. Therefore an effective bleaching is a chemical substance used in the synthesis of disinfectants and other chemicals. However, if when chlorine is used, consisting of hundreds or thousands of organochlorine by-product mixtures are formed.

nearly three-quarters of the chlorine; plastics in the chemical industry, pesticides, solvents and as chemical intermediates used for more than 11,000 of uterine my organochlorine compounds. The rest of the chlorine is sold to other industries. For example, it used as a disinfectant or sewage treatment plant in the paper mills as bleaching. Only sixty years after a chlorine chemistry; every animal in the world and people can say they have been exposed to a toxic organochlorine mixtures to the death even before their birth. Second, chlorination is changing the chemical structure of organic matter in earnest. Organochlorines not decompose easily; When used as a coolant in the form of plastic or refrigerators, they are useful because of their long life. However, they are also persistent organochlorines environment. During many years resisted the natural decomposition process, so sometimes the yüzyıllar- air, water and sediment in (the water in the pond bottom) gradually accumulate in higher concentrations. On the other hand, chlorination makes it more reactive substance. Therefore they are used as intermediates in the synthesis process in some organochlorines chemical industry. toxic and likely to turn into cancer organochlorines shape causing the body is higher than the klorlaştırılmamış. Chlorinating the result, one way or another, this would lead to the possibility of increasing the risk of a chemical.

Chlorinating mania causes a problem that can be called the third effect is terrible. The addition of chlorine atoms , org -nik chemicals increases the ability thaw in oil. So organochlorines , cleaning of vehicles that require oil-based products are excellent solvent for industrial processes such as surface coatings. However , it is fat-soluble organochlorine Philippines was once thrown into the environment, in a process called bioaccumulation living beings tend to accumulate in fatty tissue. Bioaccumulative compounds, increasing their concentration in large journey from small organisms to the right , pass the food from the environment. Human tissues , eagles, they reached the top of the food chain where the polar bears and other species , concentrations of some orga - noklorin leads up to a few million times that of the surrounding level.

Finally, almost always increases the effect of chlorination poison. This organochlorines effective insecticides and allows the use of antibiotics is a screw fitting . However, it has unwanted toxic organochlorines are MEK - toxic and they can be released to the environment , to kill non-target organisms and harm to wildlife.

Organochlorines How They Affect Us?

Even in the 1950s, is highly toxic, cancer-causing organochlorines and that, at low doses, it was known that damage the body's organ systems. However, the real size of the problem began to emerge in the last 10-15 years. So far, hundreds of compounds have been tested and examined all of organochlorines; development, reproduction, brain function and in many different ways on vital activities such immunity is understood to have negative effects. Some organochlorines in extremely low concentrations leads to this effect: even in a concentration trillion! This rate, which is 15 kilometers long and a train carrying liquid in the tank-wagon means a drop. by investigating the molecular level of intoxication mechanisms of biological processes it has been shown to disrupt organoklarin the most vital level. Some of those very active mutagen affecting the genetic message in our DNA. Others, alter or prevent the communication to the control of gene expression in gene mix makes them the natural flow of physiology and development activities at inappropriate times between cells. Many of organochlorine, that mimic natural hormones in the body, or has been found to interfere with their work. This kind of exposure as a result of the widespread effects of the compounds are capable of producing extremely striking. Organochlorines; low sperm count, menstrual disorders, miscarriage, changes in sexual behavior, birth abnormalities, impaired brain development and function, decline in mental skills, prevention of controlled development and growth of body tissues, cancer development can lead to incidents like and immunity weakened. People, including all species on earth, are exposed to this work with effects such as organochlorines. After that no contamination does not occur, even; these compounds in the environment, food ingredients, and we will continue to have hundreds of years of future generations through the body tissues.

Environment For the Global Threat

The organochlorine contamination, pose a long-term risk to human health and the environment. The size and seriousness of this threat, climate change is as great as the reduction of nuclear dangers and biodiversity. The global toxic pollution, gradually people all over the world and evidence is increasing on the other creatures affect their health. People and a large number of wild species, close to the dose of negative effects in laboratory animals are exposed routinely to equal or more than organochlorines. Towards the end of this century, ultraviolet caused by the thinning of the ozone layer depends on organochlorines to radiation, millions of people already skin cancer, blindness and immune system problems will be caused. of organochlorines in food; A large number of marine mammals, fish and many species of wild bird species to serious reproductive, developmental and immune disorders as the cause of death and caused a decrease in population is no longer an undisputed fact. in people exposed to workplace or accidental organochlorines seen similar symptoms. Many types of cancer, immune suppression, infertility, birth defects, low birth weight and learning ability disorders are a growing number of evidence that the connection problems. Exposure to organochlorines, many of these diseases and disorders that occur in the last 20-30 years worldwide is known to be a major factor in the increase. Chlorine, which opened 100 years ago and still continues to spread evil in "Pandora's box" stop. This evil has now only one way to stop: He's giving hand in hand with the government and community organizations, are closing this box cover.
