Conjugal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons that have attracted much public health attention. Having been used in industry since the 1930s, PCBs were found to be almost ubiquitous in the environment by 1966.' Owing to their excellent dielectric and insulating properties, PCBs have been used in transformers and capacitors, hydraulic systems, paints and other...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Human occupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with varying chlorine content has been reported by several investigators, using analyses of blood or adipose samples or skin wipes to evaluate levels in the body. The intensity of occupational exposure is related to both duration and intensity of exposure. The qualitative nature of occupational exposure, as well as casual environme...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of chemicals that contain 209 individual compounds (known as congeners) with varying harmful effects. Information on specific congener toxicity is very limited. Most toxicity testing has been done on specific commercial mixtures; however, PCB mixtures found in the environment will differ in composition from the commercial mixtures because of partitio...
