Food contamination with polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins in Belgium. Effects on the body burden.
The core paper of this debate shows that persistent organic pollutant residues of the 12 chemicals targeted for a phase out under the Stockholm Convention are present in almost all categories of food in the US food supply. For dioxins, the study does not use measured data, but is based upon potential dioxin residues in selected food items. Polychlorinated biphenyls are not included in the study...
متن کاملReduction of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in human body.
The accumulation of persistent lipophilic organic pollutants like dioxins and PCBs in human body is of great concern since many of these compounds may elicit adverse health effects on humans. To reduce dioxins and PCBs with long half-lives that are absorbed into the human body, we need to work actively to minimize accumulation of dioxins and PCBs taken. Lot of manner has been tested such as foo...

متن کاملDoes long term residency near industry have an impact on the body burden of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, furans, and polychlorinated biphenyls in older women?
BACKGROUND For the retrospective study of environment and health linkages biomarkers of exposure are required. Polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins and furans (PCDD/F) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been useful markers in some settings. This is the first study of PCDD/F body burden in a population based sample from the UK. AIMS AND METHODS The authors aimed to investigate whether long t...
متن کاملIncreased Risk of Diabetes and Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Dioxins
OBJECTIVE Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are important and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in humans. Recent cross-sectional studies have detected increased concentrations of serum POPs in diabetic patients. We aimed to examine the association between previous high exposures to PCBs and PCDFs and the cumulative incidence of type 2 diabetes and hy...
