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.

Placental transfer of a hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyl and effects on fetal and maternal thyroid hormone homeostasis in the rat [PDF]

, 2002
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 ...

The wild male mink as a sentinel for endocrine-disrupting chemicals and reproductive toxicity [PDF]

, 2013
Increasing evidence indicates that pollutants may affect the hormone system of humans and wildlife. These endocrine-disrupting chemicals are related to an increased risk of a variety of diseases and disorders, including adverse effects on the ...

Novel approaches to determination of PAHs and halogenated POPs in canned fish

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2011
A simple method is described for simultaneous isolation of 7 indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 10 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 22 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (16 EU PAHs).

Polybrominated Biphenyl (PBB) in the Growing Pig Diet

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1978
Twelve pigs which averaged 13.7 kg were randomly allotted from litters to a corn-soybean meal grower diet containing 0, 20, or 200 ppm of polybrominated biphenyls (PPB). During a 16-week growth trial, average daily gain (kg), average daily feed (kg) and feed/gain for pigs on diets containing 0, 20, or 200 ppm of PBB, respectively, were 0.82, 2.45, 2.99;

Exposure of zebrafish to brominated environmental chemicals [PDF]

, 2010
Fish reproduction and embryonic development may be sensitive to environmental chemicals. This thesis investigated effects of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDDs) on reproduction and early life-stage development ...

The q-RASPR approach for predicting the property and fate of persistent organic pollutants

Scientific Reports
This study presents a quantitative read-across structure-property relationship (q-RASPR) approach that integrates the chemical similarity information used in read-across with traditional quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models.
