Although chlorinated pesticides have been mostly banned from use in the United States, their persistent presence in the environment poses an ongoing threat to health. Because of the lipophilic nature of chlorinated pesticides, they are bioaccumulative and difficult to excrete from the body. A select group of these xenobiotics is also associated with a wide range of health problems, identification of which would aid in disease prevention and reversal. Ongoing research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now provides national standards for some of these compounds, allowing the clinician to evaluate levels in a patient. Serum samples are easily obtained and can reveal the presence of these xenobiotics. Eight of the most commonly found and harmful chlorinated pesticides are reviewed in this article, along with the most common sources of exposure and possible action steps.
尽管在美国氯化农药大多已被禁止使用，但它们在环境中的持续存在对健康构成了持续威胁。由于氯化农药具有亲脂性，它们会在生物体内蓄积且难以从体内排出。这类外源性物质中的一部分还与多种健康问题相关，识别这些问题将有助于疾病的预防和逆转。疾病控制与预防中心正在进行的研究现已为其中一些化合物制定了国家标准，使临床医生能够评估患者体内这些化合物的水平。血清样本很容易获取，并且能够揭示这些外源性物质的存在。本文将对八种最常见且有害的氯化农药进行综述，同时介绍最常见的接触源以及可能采取的行动步骤。
