A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB), a fungicide and chemical intermediate, was developed using a polyclonal antiserum produced against a hapten-protein conjugate of pentachlorophenoxypropionic acid-bovine serum albumin (BSA). An indirect competitive ELISA of PCNB showed an IC50

Chlorinated pesticides can contain impurities of dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and their precursors, as a result of various manufacturing processes and conditions. As precursor formation of PCDD/Fs can also be mediated by ultraviolet light (UV), this study investigated whether PCDD/Fs

Pentachloronitrobenzene is a fungicide that is degraded in anoxic soils and sediments through unknown processes that are often thought to be biologically mediated. The present research describes the kinetics for the abiotic reduction of this compound in aqueous Fe(II)/goethite systems

The reductive transformation of pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB), an organochlorine fungicide, was investigated with a mixed, methanogenic culture developed from a contaminated estuarine sediment. Batch assays performed with this enrichment culture resulted in the biotransformation of PCNB to pentachloroaniline (PCA), which was
