Polychlorinated biphenyl exposure alters oxytocin receptor gene expression and maternal behavior in rat model" (2015). A Meserve (2015) Polychlorinated biphenyl exposure alters oxytocin receptor gene expression and maternal behavior in rat model, Endocrine Disruptors, 3:1, e979681, Taylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the " Content ") contained in t...

Bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus) blubber (n = 20) and plasma (n = 19) samples were collected during the 1997 to 2000 Inuit subsistence harvests in Barrow, Alaska, USA, to quantify the concentrations of methylsulfone (MeSO2)-containing and hydroxylated (OH) polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) metabolites in this cetacean. The distribution of MeSO2-PCBs in blubber was dominated by 4-MeSO2-substitute...

A study was undertaken to determine the extent of organochlorine pesticide (OP) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination in infant formula milk and in the human milk, fat and serum of women from an agricultural area in Southern Spain. A procedure is proposed that simultaneously detects trace levels of lindane, endosulfan-ether, vinclozolin, aldrin, endosulfan-lactone, endosulfan-alpha, ...

Sediment, notothenioid fish, and moss samples were collected from the vicinity of Galindez Island, Antarctic Peninsula during austral autumn 2016 2017. Pesticide, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH), dioxin-like Polychlorinated Biphenyl (dl-PCB) concentrations measured using High-Resolution Gas Liquid Chromatography. Pollutant below detection limits in sediment samples. However, pesticides, P...

Samples of produce (tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and lettuce) from the area surrounding the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site were analyzed for the concentration and distribution of 47 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners. Samples of produce from out of state also were analyzed for comparison purposes. New Bedford Harbor sediments are highly contaminated with PCBs, which may partition into ...

Fires, explosions and other accidents in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-filled equipment can result in possible exposure of firemen, cleaning personnel and regular workers. Inhalation, dermal exposure and ingestion are the possible routes of exposure. An indirect assessment of the exposure can be made by analyses of wipes, air and water samples and clothes. A direct assessment of exposure can b...

Twenty-eight polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) accidents were recorded during a 1-year period in Finland. They comprised leaks, fires or explosions of capacitors. Some of the explosions and fires gave rise to high concentrations of PCBs in air and of PCBs and tetrachlorodibenzofurans (TCDFs), including 2,3,7,8-TCDF, on surfaces. One large explosion is described in detail, and biomedical data and f...
