16
Q

cyclodiene

A

a 6 carbon ring with a bridge attached to a 5 carbon ring, with Cls coming of of it.

17
Q

chlorinated benzenes

A

benzenes with Cl sticking out

18
Q

Organochlorines, mode of action

A

Inhibits NaKATPase of neuron continued
firing

19
Q

Organochlorines, Persistence

A

Persistent—Biomagnifies in food chain

20
Q

Organochlorines, Absorption

A

GI

21
Q

Organochlorines, Target

A

CNS mostly, but also reproductive tract

22
Q

Pyrethroids

A

cypermethrin, permethrin (similar to the natural pesticides in merry golds)

23
Q

Pyrethroids, mode of action

A

inhibits Cl- channel; ionic ATPases

24
Q

Pyrethroids, affect on humans

A

Esters right next to benzine rings and when hydrolyzed they become large phenolic compounds that look a lot like estrogen and are then endocrine disrupters.

25
Q

Phenylpyrazole

A

Fipronil

26
Q

Fipronil, mode of action

A

inhibits Gaba channel which normally mediates synaptic inhibition and regulates cellular excitability.

27
Q

Tyrone Hase-

A

said atrazine affects frogs and Syngenta didn’t like it.

28
Q

Bipyridyls

A

paraquat, diquat—dessicate plants

29
Q

paraquat, affect on people

A

death if in mouth, typically via fibrosis in lungs

30
Q

Chlorophenoxy Compounds

A

2,4-D and 2,4,5-T (Agent Orange 50:50 mixture) impurity—TCDD (dioxin)

31
Q

TCDD (dioxin)

A

Chloracne - skin eruption of blackheads, cysts and nodules, which has been linked directly to dioxin exposure.
Teratogenicity
Carcinogenicity (most potent rodent carcinogen)

32
Q

Dinitrophenol (DNP)

A

inhibits ATP synthesis (uncouples oxidative
phosphorylation) Proton vacuum at body pH and messes up mitochondrial electron transport chain

33
Q

Hexachlorobenzene

A

chloracne (skin)
hepatomegaly (enlarged liver )
porphyria (a group of disorders caused by abnormalities in the chemical steps that lead to heme production.)

34
Q

A

fungicide not know to be harmful to people.

35
Q

Dithiocarbamates

A

Maneb, Zineb

36
Q
