Abstract
Lichens consisting of a symbiotic association of green algae or cyanobacteria and fungi are found in a variety of environmental conditions worldwide. Terricolous lichens, located in soils, affect the living and lifeless environment of the soil due to their effective secondary metabolite and enzymatic content. Terricolous lichens can increase the biological, chemical, and physical usefulness of soil. However, their effects in ensuring the bioavailability of contaminated soil are not known, especially on soil pollution caused by DDTs (p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDD, p,p'-DDT). This research focuses on the effect of terricolous lichens on zucchini (Cucurbita pepo spp. pepo) grown in soil contaminated by DDTs, utilizing their secondary metabolite and enzymatic contents. Firstly, Peltigera canina, a terricolous lichen species, was added to soil contaminated by DDTs as powdered and intact thallus. After lichen addition to soil, zucchini was planted in. The oxidative stress and antioxidative enzyme activities of zucchini were measured. According to the results, P. canina treatments have a positive effect on the growth and development of zucchini, although oxidative stress was observed. Also, it was determined that powdered application had more effective results than intact thallus application.

Abstract
580 microbial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere of the plants Cucurbita pepo L. and Xanthium strumarium grown on soil contaminated with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites. During the cultivation, two bacterial strains were selected because of their ability to grow on media containing 0.5-5.0 mg L-1 of dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) as the sole carbon source. They were identified as Bacillus vallismortis and Bacillus aryabhattai. Both of these species were shown to have a high capacity for the utilization of DDE - more than 90% of which was consumed after 21 days of cultivation. Laboratory experiments were carried out then to assess the possibility of using these strains for the decontamination of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) contaminated soils. Inoculation of C. pepo and X. strumarium with our isolates B. vallismortis and B. aryabhattai resulted in a reduction of the pollutant stress to the plants as shown by an increase both in aboveground and in root biomass. The microorganisms enhanced the uptake and phytostabilization potential of C. pepo and X. strumarium and can be applied for the treatment of DDE contaminated soils.

Abstract
Development of analytical techniques that can monitor the adsorption, transfer and in-situ distribution of environmental pollutants in agricultural products is essential to ensure the implementation of stringent food safety standards for consumer protection. A mass spectrometric imaging approach is described herein to investigate the dynamic changes and spatial distributions of 4, 4'-DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) in soybean seeds and sprouts during the growth. Soy beans seeds incubated in DDT containing water were sliced in every 20 μm and directly blotted on the surface of a compressed thin film of (Bi2O3)0.07(CoO)0.03(ZnO)0.9 nanoparticles. Endogenous molecules and exogenous DDT compounds in soy bean seeds were ionized and dissociated by photoelectrons that are generated on surfaces of semiconductor nanoparticles upon the irradiation of the 3rd harmonic (355 nm) of Nd3+:YAG laser. Structural identification is achieved by the interpretation of fragment ions resulting from electron-initiated specific bond cleavages or hole oxidization. Mass spectrometric images reveal increased quantities of DDT residues in soy bean seeds and sprouts during the growth. It provides an in situ way without extensive sample preparation to monitor the transfer and distribution of exogenous pollutants as well as the possible impacts on plant growth.

Abstract
Management and destruction of obsolete pesticides and the remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil are significant global issues with importance in agriculture, environmental health and quality of life. Pesticide use and management have a history of problems because of insufficient knowledge of proper planning, storage, and use. This manuscript reviews recent literature with an emphasis on the management of obsolete pesticides and remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil. The rhizosphere of plants is a zone of active remediation. Plants also take up contaminated water and remove pesticides from soil. The beneficial effects of growing plants in pesticide-contaminated soil include pesticide transformation by both plant and microbial enzymes. This review addresses recent advances in the remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil with an emphasis on processes that are simple and can be applied widely in any country.

Abstract
Sesbania grandiflora (L.) pers (Fabaceae) and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) (Brassicaceae) were genetically engineered to constitutively express the rabbit cytochrome p450 2E1 enzyme aiming at increasing their activity toward trichloroethylene (TCE) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) removal Successful generation of Sesbania and Arabidopsis transgenic plants was verified using p450 2E1 specific PCR and confirmed by western blot analysis. Gas chromatography (GC) analysis revealed that small cuttings of Sesbania and third generation (F3) Arabidopsis transgenic plants exposed to TCE and DDT in small hydroponics' vessels accumulated more TCE and DDT compared to plants transformed with the empty vector. Furthermore, both transgenic plants were more effective in breaking down TCE and DDT with a 2-fold increase in TCE metabolism. Two independent Arabidopsis lines showed that DDT was metabolized about 4-fold higher than that detected in non transformed plants. Similarly, S. grandiflora cuttings removed 51 to 90% of the added DDT compared with only 3% removal in controls transformed with the null vector. Notably, stability of rabbit cytochrome p450 2E1 was confirmed using third generation Arabidopsis plants that displayed higher potential for the removal of two important pollutants, TCE and DDT compared with the controls.

Abstract
High volume air samples for organochlorine (OC) pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were collected during August-September 1989 in Brazzaville, Congo (4.14 degrees S, 15.14 degrees E). Average concentrations (ng/m3) were SigmaDDT=2.8; Sigma HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane)=0.42; Sigmachlordane=0.027; SigmaPCB=0.55 Sigma3-6 ring PAH=42; total DDT concentrations in Brazzaville fell between those reported in Porto Novo and Delhi (India) and were 20-100 times higher than those found in US cities. The average gamma-HCH to alpha-HCH ratio (11) indicated use of lindane instead of technical HCH. The similarities between chlordane levels in Brazzaville and the open ocean indicated that little or no local use occurs. PAH levels were about equal to or lower than those reported in US cities, whereas PCB levels were three times lower. Vapor/particle distribution coefficients for several OC and PAH were in good correlation with their vapor pressures. The fraction of PAH on particles was greater than that of OC pesticides.

Abstract
DDT added to soil at a concentration of 50 microg g(-1) had no inhibitory effects on germination and plant growth of barley, mung and rice, but considerably inhibited the oilseed species tested in the laboratory. The uptake of one or other ions was affected in varying degrees, with plants grown in DDT-treated soils. Detailed field studies of a peanut crop further confirmed the inhibition of ion uptake with DDT, especially Ca(2+) and K(+). Reduced uptake of (86)Rb by germinated peanut seeds in the presence of DDT further supported the observations made with K(+). Cell number and length in plants were reduced in plants grown in DDT-treated soil and the role of calcium is discussed. It appears that growth inhibition in oil seed plants may arise from the low levels of Ca(2+) and K(+) in plants grown in DDT-treated soils.
