Estrogenicity of environmental PCBs.
Estrogenicity of Environmental PCBs The paper by Bergeron, Crews, and McLachlan, "PCBs as Environmental Estrogens: Turtle Sex Determination as a Biomarker of Environmental Contamination" (EHP 102:780-781) presents data on the estrogenic activity of 11 chlorinated biphenyls or diphenyl ethers, or hydroxylated derivatives thereof, selected so as to represent a variety of structural types. Some of...

متن کاملToxicities of PCBs to Fish and Environmental Residues
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been found in fish and wildlife from many parts of the world at levels which may adversely affect aquatic organisms and interfere with pesticide residue analyses (1, 2, 3, 4). The environmental occurrence, uses, and present toxicological aspects of PCBs were recently reviewed by Peakall and Lincer (5), Gustaffson (6), and Risebrough (7). PCBs have gas chrom...
متن کاملAssessing the cancer risk from environmental PCBs.
A new approach to assessing the cancer risk from environmental polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) considers both toxicity and environmental processes to make distinctions among environmental mixtures. New toxicity information from a 1996 cancer study of four commercial mixtures strengthens the case that all PCB mixtures can cause cancer, although different mixtures have different potencies. Envir...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Simulation of Oil Blowout and Response Action to Evaluate Environmental Consequences on Prawns
A scenario-specific modeling of oil blowout from the Khark island pipelines in the Persian Gulf has been carried out to evaluate the environmental impact of oil spill on the local coast, seabed and prawns. Also, various scenarios for response actions have been considered. The analyses have been performed by SINTEF Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR), a 3-dimensional model system. At the ...
