Polychlorinated Biphenyls (pcb) Toxicity
self-instructional publications designed to increase the primary care provider’s knowledge of hazardous substances in the environment and to aid in the evaluation of potentially exposed patients. This course is also available on the ATSDR Web site, www.atsdr.cdc.gov/HEC/CSEM/. See page 3 for more information about continuing medical education credits, continuing nursing education units, and con...
متن کاملStudies on populations exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls.
Mean serum levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in U.S. population groups without occupational exposure to PCBs are usually between 4 and 8 ng/mL, with 95% of individuals having serum PCB measurements of less than 20. Subpopulations consuming fish taken from contaminated waters, such as Lake Michigan and near Triana, AL, have mean serum PCB levels several times those found in other genera...
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 کاملStudies on the Mechanism of Toxicity of DDT and Polychlorinated Biphenyls: Disruption of Osmoregulation in Marine Fish
In 1970 studies were initiated at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory to explore mechanisms of toxicity underlying the high sensitivity of bony fish, teleosts, to organochlorine pollutants. The starting point was several reports that DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2, 2-bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane] inhibited Na,K-ATPase (Na+, K+-activated adenosine triphosphatase), as well as the knowledge that ...
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...
