Some OH-PCBs are more potent inhibitors of aromataseactivity and (anti-) glucocorticoids than non-dioxin like (NDL)-PCBs and MeSO2-PCBs

, 2011
Traditional risk assessment of potential endocrine-disruptive pollutants, including PCBs, focus mainly on the effects of parent compounds. Still, biotransformation results in systemic exposure to PCBs and their bioactive metabolites. In the present paper,

Evidence for a decline of PCBs and PAHs in rural vegetation and air in the United Kingdom.

, 1992
RELIABLE data on persistent organic contaminants in the environment are needed to evaluate strategies to limit their dispersal. Long-term data are often not available, however, because the chemicals in question were not routinely analysed in the past ...

The changes in dioxin and PCB concentrations in different feed materials over time – preliminary study

Journal of Veterinary Research
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of undesirable chemical substances classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Engineering of Dihydroxy Biphenyl Dioxygenase Enzyme to Improve Its Performance In Removing PCBs: A Molecular Docking Study [PDF]

مجله علمی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کردستان
Background and Aim: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) industrial pollutants are one of the most important environmental pollutants whose removal is very important. PCBs are degraded biologically by several enzymes and in a multi-step process.

Mikrobielle Umwandlungen polychlorierter Biphenyle (PCBs)

, 1992
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are industrial chemicals which have been identified as contaminants in almost every compartment of the global ecosystem. Due to their chemical nature, PCBs tend to enter and bioaccumulate in the food chain/web. In nature,

Contaminant Exposure and Biomarker Response in Embryos of Black-crowned Night-herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) Nesting Near Lake Calumet, Illinois

, 2007
Lake Calumet in Illinois was a former glacial lake draining into Lake Michigan. After extensive industrialization and modifications to the area, it now drains to the Des Plaines River, which runs to the Mississippi River.

On the dynamics and selective transport of fatty acids and organochlorines in lactating grey seals (Halichoerus grypus)

, 2010
This thesis examines fatty acid (FA) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) dynamics in a marine top predator, the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus,) and their transfer during lactation from mother to offspring.

Simultaneous enhanced removal of Cu, PCBs, and PBDEs by corn from e-waste-contaminated soil using the biodegradable chelant EDDS

, 2015
We evaluated the influence of the biodegradable chelant ethylenediamine disuccinic acid (EDDS) on plant uptake of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and Cu by corn from electronic waste (e-waste)-contaminated soil ...
