Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane and Polychlorinated Biphenyls: Intraindividual Changes, Correlations, and Predictors in Healthy Women from the Southeastern United States [PDF]

Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, 2008
Abstract Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDE) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are widespread environmental contaminants that have been postulated to increase the risk of diseases such as non–Hodgkin's lymphoma, breast cancer, as well as lead to early menopause.

Evidence of continued exposure to legacy persistent organic pollutants in threatened migratory common terns nesting in the Great Lakes

Environment International, 2020
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) accumulate in the food web of the Great Lakes ecosystem, causing concern that these chemicals play a role in the decline of avian species such as colonial-nesting waterbirds.

A case study on the application of an expert-driven read-across approach in support of quantitative risk assessment of p,p’-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane [PDF]

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2019
Deriving human health risk estimates for environmental chemicals has traditionally relied on in vivo toxicity databases to characterize potential adverse health effects and associated dose-response relationships. In the absence of in vivo toxicity information, new approach methods (NAMs) such as read-across have the potential to fill the required data ...

A systematic review/meta‐analysis of xenobiotics in apple products highlights lack of compliance with European Food Safety Authority Regulation

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2025.
Abstract Apples and their derivatives are among the most widely consumed fruit products in the world and iconic examples of food‐safety issues. By using a systematic search in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases, we extracted 1374 publications on pesticides, mycotoxins, and heavy metal contents in apple products, which represented 44%, 48%,
