Polybrominated Biphenyls in Chicken Eggs vs. Hatchability
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1978 SummaryA relationship between polybrominated biphenyl, Firemaster FF-1 (FF-1), in the diet, and eggs, as monitored by hexahromobiphenyl (6-BB), and embryo toxicity, as measured by hatchability, were examined. The minimum dietary level of FF-1 for an effect on hatchability was estimated at 42 ppm, which produced an egg residue estimated at 65.9 ppm 6-BB.

Atmospheric emissions and long-range transport of persistent organic chemicals
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2010 Persistent organic chemicals include several groups of halogenated compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs), and polyfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs).

Assessment of the hazards of polybrominated biphenyls.
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1978 During their peak use period, PBBs represented under 1% of the total sales of fire retardant chemicals, and very probably would have escaped intensive study if they had not been mixed accidentally with animal feed preparations. Instead, international attention was drawn to PBBs by the state-supervised killing of over 35,000 cattle which had been ...

Overview of air pollution and endocrine disorders [PDF]
, 2018 Over recent years, many environmental pollutant chemicals have been shown to possess the ability to interfere in the functioning of the endocrine system and have been termed endocrine disrupting chemicals. These compounds exist in air as volatile or semi-
