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. ...
Because the fraction containing polychlorinated biphenyls, polychlorodibenzodioxin/furan, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, and several organophosphates did not cause any observable effects on hormone production or a mutagenic response, or were not detected in any of the samples, these compounds could be eliminated as causative agents for the observed effects. ...
