Levels of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Foods in Sweden
PCBs have been used in industry in Sweden since 1929, initially only in electric transformers and capacitors, later also in paints, lacquers etc. The importation of PCBs to Sweden in 1970 was close to 500 tons. Approximately half of this amount was exported to other countries in electric capacitors. The use of PCBs in dyes was 65 tons in 1968 but was voluntarily diminished by industry to 35 ton...

متن کاملPolychlorinated Biphenyls
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are industrial compounds with multiple industrial and commercial uses (Table 41.1). PCBs are chemically inert and stable when heated. These properties contribute greatly to PCBs having become environmental contaminants. The chemical inertness and heat stability properties that make PCBs desirable for industry also protect them from destruction when the products ...
