Idiopathic rICP has been reported in several studies and also as a complication of a list of drugs, including
chlordecone (kepone), ketoprofen or indomethacin in Bartter's syndrome, thyroid replacement therapy in hypothyroid children, tetracycline and its derivatives, amiodarone, hypervitaminosis A, lithium carbonate, nalidixic acid, sulfa antibiotics and risperidone.
L'impact de l'utilisation des pesticides sur l'augmentation des cas de cancers a ete particulierement mis en evidence avec l'utilisation du
chlordecone dans les Antilles durant les annees70 a 90.
The best known imprinters from the environmental pollutants are lead, arsenic, cadmium, benzopyrene and various dioxins, furans, polychlorinated biphenyls and pesticides (DDT, DDE, methoxychlor,
chlordecone, parathion, malathion, paraquat, cypermethrin and cyhalothrin).
However, this study is in variance with other works [12,17] that reported an increase in WBC when
chlordecone was administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats [17] and when arsenic-poisoned cattle blood parameters were evaluated.
Washington, June 23 (ANI): Researchers have found that exposure to
chlordecone (also named Kepone), an organochlorine chemical, can increase the risk of prostate cancer.
Meeting in Geneva, from 4 to 8 May, the 160 countries that are party to the convention decided to add to the first list of twelve substances already under strict international control the following substances: lindane; alpha hexachlorocyclohexane; beta hexachlorocyclohexane; hexabromodiphenyl ether and heptabromodiphenyl ether; tetrabromodiphenyl ether and pentabromodiphenyl ether;
chlordecone; hexabromodiphenyl, pentachlorobenzene and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid.
Among its additions, the meeting decided to ban
chlordecone, an agricultural pesticide, hexabromobiphenyl, an industrial flame retardant; and lindane, which many have used in insecticides for soil, wood and animals.
Concerns over the pesticide kepone, also known as
chlordecone, emerged last year after a French medical researcher suggested it may have affected cancer rates in both overseas departments.
