Environmental Exposures and Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions around the world. The Braak hypothesis proposes that in PD a pathologic agent may penetrate the nervous system via the olfactory bulb, gut, or both and spreads throughout the nervous system. The agent is unknown,

Polychlorinated Biphenyls Influence on Hatchability ,
Abstract Broiler breeder hens and Leghorn hens fed a diet containing 20 and 50 p.p.m. polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1242) for one week had their hatchability (percent hatch of eggs set) reduced to 67.3 and 26.8 percent, respectively, of control hens. The hatchability of the broiler hens fed 50 p.p.m.

Nontargeted biomonitoring of halogenated organic compounds in two ecotypes of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Southern California Bight. [PDF]
Targeted environmental monitoring reveals contamination by known chemicals, but may exclude potentially pervasive but unknown compounds. Marine mammals are sentinels of persistent and bioaccumulative contaminants due to their longevity and high trophic ...

Perchlorination of Polychlorinated Biphenyls [PDF]
Abstract A simple and efficient method for the perchlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to decachlorobiphenyl, using antimony pentachloride, is described. Average yields of decachlorobiphenyl from 3 individual samples of Aroclors 1016 and 1254 were 85 and 104%, respectively.
