METHOD OF ANALYSIS VALIDATION OF DIOXIN-LIKE PCB’S IN DAIRY PRODUCT [PDF]
Dioxin like-polychlorinated biphenyls are unintentionally produced ubiquitous, persistent organic pollutants. The main source of human exposure to the compounds is food of animal origin because bioaccumulation in food chains. Extraction of dairy products

Non–Dioxin-Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Risk of Endometriosis
Endometriosis, a gynecologic disorder affecting 8-10% of reproductive-age women in the United States, is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and is linked to pelvic pain and infertility. Environmental contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), are hypothesized to contribute to endometriosis risk through ...

The Need and Potential of Biosensors to Detect Dioxins and Dioxin-Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls along the Milk, Eggs and Meat Food Chain [PDF]
Dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) are hazardous toxic, ubiquitous and persistent chemical compounds, which can enter the food chain and accumulate up to higher trophic levels.

Monitoring of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and polychlorinated biphenyls in Estonian food; pp. 193–200 [PDF]
Persistent organic pollutants are mainly compounds that include chlorine, which are posing a threat to human health and impairing living organisms and ecosystems due to their toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation.

Unintentionally produced dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls during cooking [PDF]
The formation and distribution of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) during cooking was investigated. Concentrations of dl-PCBs in liquid residues, cooked beef, and oil fumes generated during heating were determined by isotope dilution HRGC/HRMS.

A survey of the spatial, altitudinal, and temporal distribution of chlorinated paraffins in the Alpine region [PDF]
Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) have been produced since 1930 and are still used in a wide variety of consumer products and industrial processes. In the last decades, CPs represented one of the largest group of chlorinated hydrocarbons produced in North ...

The use of the DR CALUX® bioassay and indicator polychlorinated biphenyls for screening of elevated levels of dioxins and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls in eel [PDF]
AbstractThe DR CALUX® bioassay is a very suitable screening method for dioxins and dioxin‐like‐PCBs in feed and food. This was,e. g. demonstrated in a survey in the Netherlands to control the dioxin levels in eel. The DR CALUX® assay, but also indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) were evaluated as a screening method.

Placental transfer of a hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyl and effects on fetal and maternal thyroid hormone homeostasis in the rat [PDF]
Earlier studies at our laboratory indicated that several hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) detected in human blood could specifically inhibit thyroxine (T4) transport by competitive binding to the thyroid hormone transport protein ...
