Update of the risk assessment on dioxins and dioxin‐like PCBs in feed and food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2018 risk assessment on polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCBs) in feed and food, based on the 2022 WHO Toxic Equivalency Factors (WHO2022‐TEFs).

AVALIAÇÃO DAS NORMAS DE ENSAIO APLICADAS NA QUANTIFICAÇÃO DE PCBs EM ÓLEO ISOLANTE

Química Nova, 2015
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were widely used between 1940 and 1970 as an insulating fluid for transformers and capacitors. However, they are bioaccumulative and potentially carcinogenic and, according to the 2001 Stockholm Convention, must be ...

Climate Action Impacts on Steelmaking Emissions of Persistent Organic Pollutants Highlight a Gap Between the Paris Agreement and the Stockholm Convention

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
Emissions of unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (UPOPs) and global warming are two major environmental challenges. But their governance has largely evolved in parallel, leaving the toxicity implications of climate‐driven industrial transitions poorly understood.

The 3‐Hit Metabolic Signaling Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Summary

Autism Research, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable yet environmentally sensitive neurodevelopmental condition whose biological heterogeneity has resisted a unifying causal explanation for over 100 years. The 3‐hit metabolic signaling model proposes that ASD arises from abnormal persistence of an evolutionarily conserved stress‐response ...

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Open Systems in Lithuania

Environmental Research, Engineering and Management, 2016
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic, persistent and bio-accumulative substances that have been included into the Stockholm Convention due to their hazardous properties. While large efforts have been made in the past decades to phase-out closed systems containing PCBs, open systems have received much less attention.

Organochlorine Pesticide Residues in Raw Milk Samples Collected From Goat's Dairy Farms of Kastamonu Province, Türkiye

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study analyzed 20 goat milk samples from Kastamonu, Türkiye, detecting methoxychlor, β‐endosulfan, and p,p'‐DDE residues. While methoxychlor exceeded maximum residue limits (MRL) in 13 of 14 positive samples, other residues remained below established thresholds.
