Neurodevelopmental toxicity of prenatal polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by chemical structure and activity: a birth cohort study
BACKGROUND Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental toxins. Although there is growing evidence to support an association between PCBs and deficits of neurodevelopment, the specific mechanisms are not well understood. The potentially different roles of specific PCB groups defined by chemical structures or hormonal activities e.g., dioxin-like, non-dioxin like, or anti-estrog...
متن کاملSome Chemical Aspects of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
In the past few years considerable scientific information has appeared on the chemistry and biological effects of the PCBs and related materials. The amount of chemical investigation, and especially the biological effects investigation that can be done on these products, is almost limitless. Even though the PCBs show a great deal of inertness, a property very useful in their industrial applicat...

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...
