TI  - Aldrin and dieldrin: a review of research on their production, environmental 
      deposition and fate, bioaccumulation, toxicology, and epidemiology in the United 
      States.
PG  - 113-39
AB  - In the last decade four international agreements have focused on a group of 
      chemical substances known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Global 
      agreement on the reduction and eventual elimination of these substances by 
      banning their production and trade is a long-term goal. Negotiations for these 
      agreements have focused on the need to correlate data from scientists working on 
      soil and water sampling and air pollution monitoring. Toxicologists and 
      epidemiologists have focused on wildlife and human health effects and 
      understanding patterns of disease requires better access to these data. In the 
      last 20 years, substantial databases have been created and now are becoming 
      available on the Internet. This review is a detailed examination of 2 of the 12 
      POPs, aldrin and dieldrin, and how scientific groups identify and measure their 
      effects. It draws on research findings from a variety of environmental monitoring 
      networks in the United States. An overview of the ecologic and health effects of 
      aldrin and dieldrin provides examples of how to streamline some of the programs 
      and improve access to mutually useful scientific data. The research groups are 
      located in many government departments, universities, and private organizations. 
      Identifying databases can provide an "information accelerator" useful to a larger 
      audience and can help build better plant and animal research models across 
      scientific fields.
