Determination of chlorinated paraffins (CPs): Analytical conundrums and the pressing need for reliable and relevant standards

Alwyn R. Fernandes et al.

Summary: The determination of chlorinated paraffins (CPs) has been a challenging issue in analytical chemistry due to the complex mixture of congeners and steric interactions. However, recent advances in instrumentation and interlaboratory studies have provided a better understanding of these challenges, including variability in results, instrumentation limitations, and the need for a more extensive set of standards to improve accuracy in CP determination.

Medium- and long-chain chlorinated paraffins in air: A review of levels, physicochemical properties, and analytical considerations

Lauren South et al.

Summary: This review outlines the classification and global presence of chlorinated paraffins (CPs), with a focus on the potential of medium-chain and long-chain CPs to replace short-chain CPs as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The article discusses the uptake characteristics of MCCPs and LCCPs in air and their association with particulate matter.

Transformation of short-chain chlorinated paraffins by the bacterial haloalkane dehalogenase LinB - Formation of mono- and di-hydroxylated metabolites

Marco C. Knobloch et al.

Summary: Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are persistent organic pollutants listed under the Stockholm Convention. Certain bacterial strains can degrade SCCPs, with the enzyme LinB catalyzing the conversion of chlorinated tridecanes to hydroxylated compounds. LC-MS analysis revealed the formation of various hydroxylated products after exposure to LinB, suggesting its potential for environmental remediation.

Occurrence of Chlorinated Paraffins in a Wetland Ecosystem: Removal and Distribution in Plants and Sediments

Hongping Wang et al.

Summary: Constructed wetlands can effectively remove large amounts of chlorinated paraffins, with removal mainly achieved through sediment sorption and bioaccumulation in plants. Medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) were found to be the predominant compounds in the wetland system. The study also suggests that sediment in wetland systems could serve as a sink for chlorinated paraffin pollutants.

Transformation pathways of chlorinated paraffins relevant for remediation: a mini-review

Shaochun Yuan et al.

Summary: The environmental presence and ecological risks of chlorinated paraffins, including short-chain and medium-chain CPs, have been receiving increasing attention worldwide. Various transformation pathways and products of CPs in the environment, with dechlorination considered as the major reaction pathway, were evaluated. Additionally, the significant environmental impacts of waste incineration of CPs were highlighted.

Chlorinated Paraffin Levels in Relation to Other Persistent Organic Pollutants Found in Pooled Human Milk Samples from Primiparous Mothers in 53 Countries

Kerstin Kraetschmer et al.

Summary: The study analyzed levels of chlorinated paraffins in human milk samples from 53 countries, with CPs detected in all samples at concentrations of 23-700 ng/g lipid, accounting for 18-46% of total POPs. CP concentrations exceeded PCB concentrations in most countries, emphasizing the need for regulation and research on health effects related to CPs.

Recent developments in physical, biological, chemical, and hybrid treatment techniques for removing emerging contaminants from wastewater

S. F. Ahmed et al.

Summary: Various treatment technologies have been developed for the removal of emerging contaminants (ECs) from wastewater, with hybrid systems being found to be more efficient compared to individual technologies. A hybrid technique combining ozonation with activated carbon has been particularly effective in removing certain ECs, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. While nanotechnology shows promise, extensive research and development are necessary to fully and effectively remove ECs from wastewater.

Effect of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) on lipid membranes: Combination of molecular dynamics and membrane damage experiments

Wencheng Liu et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that exposure to short-chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP) may cause metabolic and lipid damage. The research conducted on E. coli membrane damage and molecular dynamics simulation demonstrated that SCCPs have significant inhibitory effects on E. coli, disrupting the cell membrane structure and integrity. This indicates that damage to the cell membrane may be one of the mechanisms of SCCPs toxicity.

Long-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins Have Reached the Arctic

Bo Yuan et al.

Summary: The study found that chlorinated paraffins are present in marine wildlife in the Arctic region, with generally higher concentrations in biota from the Swedish west coast. It also discovered fetal accumulation of CPs for the first time, suggesting potential harm to organisms. Additionally, muscle tissues contained higher concentrations of long-chain CPs, with a killer whale in Swedish waters showing a predominance of long-chain CPs compared to other CPs.
