Teratogen update: Polychlorinated biphenyls

Teratology, 1997
Polychlorinated biphenyls, synthetic hydrocarbon compounds once used as hydraulicfluids and lubricants in electrical transformers and capacitors, are among the most ubiquitous and persistent environmental contaminants. Although banned in most Western nations since the 1970s, substantial residues of these compounds persist in air, water, soil, and ...

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.

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 ...

PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls)

2001
The chlorinated biphenyls comprise a group of 209 compounds, each consisting of two linked benzene rings with chlorine atoms substituted in different positions (see Figure 11.1). The group is generally referred to as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). To avoid having to use cumbersome chemical names for individual congeners, each is given a number and ...
