Contamination of free‐range chicken eggs with dioxins and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2006
AbstractDioxins and dioxin‐like (DL) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are persistent organic pollutants that enter the body mainly by food intake. A small margin exists between current exposure levels in the human population and the levels causing biological effects.

Environmental Contaminants: Dioxins, Furans, and Dioxin-like Polychlorinated Biphenyls

, 2014
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs, ‘dioxins’) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants with half lives, both in the environment and in the human body, that are measured in decades.

Non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL-PCBs) in foods: exposure and health hazards

, 2013
Non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL-PCBs) are ubiquitous in the environment. Humans are exposed to NDL-PCBs mainly via food. Exposure to NDL-PCBs is suspected to be of concern to human health. This chapter discusses the NDL-PCB sources, their environmental transport and occurrence in food items. Human groups with high exposure are addressed.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans, and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in rice plants: Possible contaminated pathways

Chemosphere, 2006
Uptake of dioxins was confirmed in rice plants. We determined (i) dioxin concentrations and isomer profiles in leaf+stem samples of rice plants grown in three soils with different dioxin concentrations and isomer profiles and (ii) temporal changes in dioxin concentrations and isomer profiles in rice grown in a paddy field on which agricultural ...

Distribution of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dioxin-like PCBs) in the soil in a typical area of eastern China

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009
The distribution and concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dioxin-like PCBs, also called co-PCBs) in a typical area of eastern China were evaluated by analysis of 21 soil and 6 sediment samples.

Dioxin-Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls at Dilijan Landfills (Republic of Armenia)

Global NEST International Conference on Environmental Science & Technology, 2022
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are substances of wide distribution, high toxicity, persistence, and ability to long-distance migration. They are characterized by unique properties: temperature stability; high boiling point; non-combustibility; resistance to chemical and physical influences; high dielectric constants.

Estimating dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyl toxic equivalents from total polychlorinated biphenyl measurements in fish

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2007
AbstractPolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are 209 related compounds, a dozen of which are known as dioxin-like PCBs (dl-PCBs) and are among the most toxic PCBs. Polychlorinated biphenyls contribute to many adverse effects to human health, including cancer, and are a major cause of fish advisories in North America.

Risk assessments of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in food

Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, 2006
The polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dioxin-like PCB) are ubiquitous in food of animal origin and accumulate in fatty tissues of animals and humans.
