Estimates of Dietary Intake of Polychlorinated Dioxins, Furans, and Biphenyls from Chinese Total Dietary Study
Introduction Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous, persistent, lipophilic pollutants in food. Ingestion of contaminated food is the principal way of human exposure to these compounds, Most data about human exposure to PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs were available from the industrialized countries 2 while the data from de...

Fish is an important part of our food. In addition to its general nutritional value fish contains essential nutrients like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are believed to be beneficial for our health. Fish is also an important dietary source of selenium. Unfortunately, several contaminants are present in fish, such as heavy metals and organohalogen contaminants. Well-known examples of th...
متن کاملPredictors of Serum Dioxins and PCBs among Peripubertal Russian Boys
BACKGROUND Although sources and routes of exposure to dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been studied, information regarding exposure among children is limited. Breast-feeding and diet are two important contributors to early life exposure. To further understand other significant contributors to childhood exposure, we studied a cohort of children from a city with high environmenta...
متن کاملEndocrine effects of prenatal exposure to PCBs, dioxins, and other xenobiotics: implications for policy and future research.
Recent reports have suggested that environmental chemicals may be associated with endocrine alterations in people, wildlife, and experimental animals. Pharmacological investigations as well as natural poisoning episodes have led to the association between exogenous chemicals and alterations in multiple hormonal systems. Persistent environmental contaminants such as dioxins and PCBs have been sh...
متن کاملDietary exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins from infancy until adulthood: A comparison between breast-feeding, toddler, and long-term exposure.
Food is the major source for polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and dioxin accumulation in the human body. Therefore, investigating food habits from early ages until reproductive age (25 years) is important in order to assess exposure risk for the next generation. The objective of this study was to assess the PCB/dioxin exposure and the relative contribution of different foods to total exposure dur...
