Development of selective sorbent materials for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the environment

, 2016
In this thesis, synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers with molecular recognition for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as well as the application of the polymers as pre-concentration and clean-up sorbents in the determination of these compounds in ...

Soil-Air exchange controls on background atmospheric concentrations of organochlorine pesticides [PDF]

, 2011
Soils are the major terrestrial reservoir of persistent organic pollutants, and thus net volatilization from soil, when it happens, may exert a control on the atmospheric occurrence and variability of organic pollutants.

Occurrence of multiple congenital anomalies in Potamotrygon amandae (Elasmobranchii, Potamotrygoninae) embryos, including the first report of bicephaly

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reports of teratogenic embryos in elasmobranchs have been documented in multiple species, with proposed aetiologies including environmental disturbances, genetic mutations, predation, exposure to endocrine‐disrupting compounds and maternal stress.

Melanoma and Other Melanistic Lesions in Brown Bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus From Waterbodies in the Northeastern United States and Canada: Identification of Risk Factors

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Melanistic lesions, including non‐raised black areas due to proliferations of melanocytes and melanomacrophages in the dermis and epidermis, as well as raised black areas consistent with melanoma, are described in brown bullhead (BBH) Ameiurus nebulosus from three water bodies in the northeastern United States and Quebec, Canada.

Impact of Environmental Exposure on Infant Sleep : The Exposome Approach

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
This review explores how exposure to environmental pollutants during the first 1000 days of life may affect infant sleep. Evidence suggests potential links between chemical exposures and sleep disturbances, underscoring the need for more research on early‐life vulnerability and the impact of pollutants in air, diet, and breast milk.

Polychlorinated biphenyls, glycaemia and diabetes in a population living in a highly polychlorinated biphenyls-polluted area in northern Italy: a cross-sectional and cohort study

Journal of Public Health Research, 2013
Background. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been found to be associated with diabetes in some, but not all, studies performed so far. The aim of this study was to assess the association between PCB serum levels and glycaemia and diabetes in people ...

Synergistic Impacts of Co‐Exposure to Microplastics and Vibrio harveyi on the Immune and Stress Responses of the Big‐Belly Seahorse Hippocampus abdominalis

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 6, Page 554-567, July 2026.
Synergistic effects of microplastic and Vibrio harveyi co‐exposure on big‐belly seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis). Seahorses were exposed to microplastics (50 beads/L of 0.2 μm SMP and 1.0 μm LMP) and injected with V. harveyi (1 × 103 CFU/mL).

Assessing the ability of white-rot fungi to tolerate polychlorinated biphenyls using predictive mycology

Mycology, 2018
The aim of the present study was to assess the ability of different white-rot fungi to tolerate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using predictive mycology, by relating fungal growth inhibition to ligninolityc enzyme secretion.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment core MAR16-02 from the Eure River, France

, 2020
We measured polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment cores (collected in two independant ponds) to study the relationships between sediment deposits characteristics and organic contaminants, and the ...

Implications of Maternal Toxicant Effects on Size‐Dependent Fisheries' Management: A Meta‐Analysis

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 895-911, July 2026.
Larger, older fish transfer higher mercury and PCB concentrations to their eggs, significantly reducing offspring hatching success, survival and growth rates in contaminated aquatic ecosystems. These findings suggest that the reproductive benefits of big old fat fecund female fish may be compromised by maternal toxicant transfer in polluted waters ...
