The Sensitivity of Fish ATPases to Polychlorinated Biphenyls*
In spite of widespread concern about the possible hazards of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), little is known about the action of these materials. We have therefore examined the in vitro (1, 2) and in vivo (3) effects of PCBs on the adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) enzyme system. We have found some effects which are similar, yet distinctive, to chemically related compounds of the DDT type. A ...
متن کاملPolychlorinated biphenyls in freshwater fish from the Zagreb area.
The aim of this study was to determine the levels of six polychlorinated biphenyls (referred to as PCB-28, PCB-52, PCB-101, PCB-138, PCB-153 and PCB-180, according to the IUPAC) in freshwater fish from the Zagreb area. A total of 216 samples was collected from five sites: from the Sava River upstream of Zagreb, in Zagreb, and downstream of Zagreb, from Lake Jarun, and from five fishponds from t...
متن کاملthe fate of polychlorinated biphenyls inkarstic soil
during the croatian homeland war in 1991, the capacitor batteries of the zadar electric powersubstation (ts 110/35 kv) were damaged, resulting in the severe pollution of the soil with polychlorinatedbiphenyls (pcbs). due to porosity of karstic soil pcbs represent great environmental and human health risksthat need some action. the polluted soil was collected and an experimental field was formed...
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 ...
متن کاملFood Exposures to Polychlorinated Biphenyls
The PCB family of industrial chemicals has been used in a number of useful and beneficial ways for more than 40 years. PCBs have been used in capacitors, as transformer fluids, as heat transfer agents, in plasticizers and adhesives, and in sealants and printing inks. Needless to say, they have no place in the nation's food supply. The scientific community has been aware of the potential hazard ...
