Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations reported in preferred prey and blubber of bottlenose dolphins from the Turtle‐Brunswick River Estuary (TBRE, Georgia, USA) suggests the potential for adverse effects. ...
Previous studies have shown inexplicable declines in breeding waterbirds within western New York/New Jersey Harbor between 1996 and 2002 and elevated polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in double‐crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) eggs. The present study assessed associations between immune function, prefledgling survival, and selected ...
This paper reports analytical results for a selection of commercially available and industrial grade fish oil samples, compares the values with historical samples, and discusses their potential contribution to dietary intakes of organochlorine chemicals.Keywords: diet, fish oils, organochlorines, PCBs, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, dietary supplements, contamination, ...
A TDI of 1-4 pg TEQ/kg body weight (including dioxin-like PCBs) was recommended. The US EPA has yet to complete its own reassessment. ...
Current work is focussing on expanding the list to include such contaminants as pesticides and PCBs. It has been demonstrated that certain fuels can support cometabolism of chlorinated solvents and it is speculated that at many co-contaminated sites, cometabolism may be naturally occurring. ...
