Affinity of endosulfan and HCB with human serum albumin affects serum concentrations in a general population

Emerging Contaminants
Endosulfan and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were previously widely used organochlorine pesticides. Much attention has been paid to trends in human exposure to endosulfan and HCB and to the transport and distribution of endosulfan and HCB within the body.
