Introduction Although some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are considered human
carcinogens, results from studies evaluating exposures and breast cancer risk have been …

Several epidemiologic studies suggest that polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels measured
in peripheral blood or adipose tissue are related to increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma …

Many environmental chemicals accumulate in human tissues and may contribute to cancer
risk. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are associated with adverse health effects, but …

Discrete windows of susceptibility to toxicants have been identified for the breast, including
in utero, puberty, pregnancy, and postpartum. We tested the hypothesis that polychlorinated …

Abstract Background Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were used in electrical equipment
and a range of construction materials. Although banned in the United States and most of …

Despite the global ban, organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) have been a persistent and significant environmental health issue worldwide …

Organochlorines are persistent and highly lipophilic environmental contaminants which
bioaccumulate in the food chain. Some of these chemicals, 2, 2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)-1, 1, 1 …

Aims: To describe the long term mortality experience of a cohort of 2187 male chemical
production workers previously exposed to substantial levels of dioxin. Methods: Vital status …

Background We recently reported increased risks for all cancers and urinary cancers in
workers exposed to chlorophenoxy herbicides using data from the Dutch herbicide cohort …

We studied associations between lifestyle/medical factors and lipid-adjusted serum
