and plastic‐associated chemicals cause cardiovascular disease?(Review). J Intern Med …

OBJECTIVE Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), lipophilic chemicals that accumulate
mainly in adipose tissue, have recently been linked to type 2 diabetes. However, evidence …

Background Low doses of some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) associate cross-
sectionally with type 2 diabetes, whereas associations with high POP exposures are …

Background Major food contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are
proposed to play a role in the etiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but to date the …

OBJECTIVE—Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans
(PCDFs) are important and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in humans. Recent cross …

Background Despite restrictions on their production and use, most of the population is still
exposed to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), including organochlorine pesticides …

Background: Prospective data regarding persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and risk of
type 2 diabetes (T2D) are limited, and the results for individual POPs are not entirely …

The pathology of cardiovascular disease is multi-faceted, with links to many modifiable and
non-modifiable risk factors. Epidemiological evidence now implicates exposure to persistent …

Background: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) manufactured in Anniston, Alabama, from
1929 to 1971 caused significant environmental contamination. The Anniston population …

Importance Cardiovascular toxic effects derived from high exposures to individual
organochlorine compounds are well documented. However, there is no evidence on low but …
