متن کاملDietary exposure to PCBs and dioxins in children.
Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental contaminants that bioaccumulate up the food chain (1-3). Human exposure is largely via microcontamination of animal products in the diet (4-72. Lactational transfer is a major route of exposure to the nursing infant (8,9); approximately 10-12% of total lifetime exposure can occur via nursing (10). A nursing infant may rec...
متن کاملExposure Now Sickness Later Early Exposure to PCBs and Dioxins May Increase Some Childhood Diseases
It is nearly impossible to totally avoid contact with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins, ubiquitous pollutants that are produced by the electrical, plastics, pesticide, paper, and other industries. These fat-soluble toxicants accumulate in the food chain, especially in meat, fish, and dairy products. Mothers pass PCBs and dioxins to their children through the umbilical cord and breas...
متن کاملImmunologic biomarkers in relation to exposure markers of PCBs and dioxins in Flemish adolescents (Belgium).
In this study, we investigated 17- to 18-year-old boys and girls to determine whether changes in humoral or cellular immunity or respiratory complaints were related to blood serum levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxin-like compounds after lifetime exposure in Flanders (Belgium). We obtained blood samples from and administered questionnaires to 200 adolescents recruited from a ru...
