Quantifying the importance of the atmospheric sink for polychlorinated dioxins and furans relative to other global loss processes. [PDF]

, 2006
Previous attempts to establish global mass balances for polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) have focused on the terrestrial sink, thereby neglecting deposition to the oceans and atmospheric losses.

Dioxin Analysis of Bee Pollen Pellets Collected by Apis mellifera L. in Rural Area of Turkey

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2018
Bee pollen, an important bee product, is harvested as a food supplement for humans, so it must be safe in terms of toxic components for consumption.

Circulating levels of environmental contaminants are associated with dietary patterns in older adults

Environment International, 2015
Background: Food intake contributes substantially to our exposure to environmental contaminants. Still, little is known about our dietary habits' contribution to exposure variability.

Application of the AhR reporter gene assay for the determination of PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs in feed samples

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2017
Introduction: Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) belong to a well-known group of pollutants.

Inhibition of apoptosis in rat hepatocytes treated with `non-dioxin-like' polychlorinated biphenyls [PDF]

Carcinogenesis, 2001
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are among the most prominent persistent environmental pollutants exhibiting neurotoxic, teratogenic and tumour-promoting effects in experimental animals. 'Dioxin-like' properties have been assigned to a number of PCBs whereas other PCBs have been classified as 'non-dioxin-like'. Many of the latter congeners are inducers

Results of the monitoring of non dioxin‐like PCBs in food and feed

EFSA Journal, 2010
Non dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL PCBs) are persistent organic chemicals that accumulate in the environment and humans and are associated with a broad spectrum of health effects.

Quantum Chemical Investigation of Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins, Dibenzofurans and Biphenyls: Relative Stability and Planarity Analysis

Molecules, 2020
All the possible polychlorinated aromatic compounds in the classes of dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and biphenyls (PCBs) were studied by the quantum chemical methods of HF/6-311++G(d,p), B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), and MP2/cc-pVTZ.

Comprehensive evaluation of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds in surface soils and river sediments from e-waste-processing sites in a village in northern Vietnam: Heading towards the environmentally sound management of e-waste

Emerging Contaminants, 2016
The management of electronic waste (e-waste), which can be a source of both useful materials and toxic substances, depending on the processing method, is important for promoting material cycling.

Proteomic analysis of the rat ovary following chronic low-dose exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) [PDF]

, 2009
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a ubiquitously distributed endocrine-disrupting chemical and reproductive toxicant. In order to elucidate low-dose TCDD-mediated effects on reproductive or endocrine functions, female Sprague-Dawley rats were

Concentrations and Toxic Implications of Dioxin‐Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Soil Samples from Electrical Power Stations in Lagos, Nigeria [PDF]

, 2021
Dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) are ubiquitous chemicals which mediate toxicity in a similar way as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs).
