Applications of polychlorinated biphenyls

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2010
In the 50 years or so that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were manufactured in the USA and elsewhere, they were widely used in numerous applications because of their desirable properties. The purpose of this paper is to review and summarize in one place the factual information about the uses of PCBs, as well as to correct some misconceptions that ...

Polychlorinated biphenyls in the environment

Journal of Chromatography A, 1992
This review surveys the problems arising from the release of PCBs into the environment from the point of view of the analytical chemist. These problems are very complex and interdependent and so it is essential to recognize their mutual links rather than to separate one problem from another (sources of contamination, fate in the environment, toxic ...

Polychlorinated biphenyls.

Canadian journal of ophthalmology. Journal canadien d'ophtalmologie, 1990
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their contaminants have definite ocular and dermatologic side effects, often directly related to the serum level of these compounds. These are usually the first symptoms and signs to appear. Other side effects are far more variable, and the carcinogenic role of PCBs and their contaminants remains controversial.

Strategies for bioremediation of polychlorinated biphenyls

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2004
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are serious environmental pollutants that threaten both the natural ecosystem and human health. For remediation of environments contaminated with PCBs, several approaches that exploit the potential of microbes to degrade PCBs have been developed.

Toxicity of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Poultry

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1972
SUMMARY Polychlorinated biphenyls (pcb) used as a heat-exchange fluid in pasteurizing equipment used to destroy salmonella in fish meal leaked into 16,000 tons of Peruvian fish meal. Some of the fish meal was incorporated into feed and produced toxic effects in chickens and residue problems in their meat and eggs.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the Global Ecosystem

Nature, 1968
Polychlorinated biphenyls are widely dispersed in the global ecosystem, and are powerful inducers of hepatic enzymes which degrade oestradiol. Together with other chlorinated biocides, such as DDT, they could account for a large part of the aberration in calcium metabolism which has been observed in many species of birds since the Second World War.
