Reproductive health outcomes and pesticide exposure
This review provides evidence that non-organochlorine pesticides may cause deleterious reproductive outcomes. The most suggestive evidence is of an association between fetal growth outcomes and pesticide exposure. Of the ten studies that considered fetal growth outcomes, eight reported significant associations. Most of these positive associations were for birth weight, and were from well-design...
متن کاملPolychlorinated biphenyl exposure and effects in transformer repair workers.
Fifty-five present and past transformer repair workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 56 unexposed comparison workers were evaluated in a clinical-epidemiologic study. The groups were similar in most demographic variables. Adipose tissue lipid and serum PCBs concentrations were higher in current exposed workers (geometric means adipose 2.1 ppm, serum 12.2 ppb). Concentrations i...
متن کاملPolychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Exposure and Diabetes: Results from the Anniston Community Health Survey
BACKGROUND Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) manufactured in Anniston, Alabama, from 1929 to 1971 caused significant environmental contamination. The Anniston population remains one of the most highly exposed in the world. OBJECTIVES Reports of increased diabetes in PCB-exposed populations led us to examine possible associations in Anniston residents. METHODS Volunteers (n = 774) from a cros...
متن کاملPerinatal Polychlorinated Biphenyl 126 Exposure Alters Offspring Body Composition.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants whose exposure levels are associated with various health hazards. We hypothesized that in utero and lactational exposure to PCBs can cause changes in body composition and obesity in a mouse model. Pregnant mice were exposed biweekly to two concentrations of PCB 126 via oral gavage. Maternal PCB exposure did not result in...
متن کاملAerobic Polychlorinated Biphenyl-Degrading Bacteria
Several bacterial isolates were characterized based on their abilities to degrade specific polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their 16s rRNA gene sequences. The members of one group of bacteria consisting of Alcaligenes species, including the PCB-degrading bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus H850, had strong abilities to degrade a broad range of PCBs but not the di-para-chlorine-substituted conge...
