Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)(Arochlors)
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...

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...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Human occupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with varying chlorine content has been reported by several investigators, using analyses of blood or adipose samples or skin wipes to evaluate levels in the body. The intensity of occupational exposure is related to both duration and intensity of exposure. The qualitative nature of occupational exposure, as well as casual environme...
