The environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are
fascinating areas of scientific research. Our objective in this paper is to provide a brief …

In recent years there has been a growing concern that exposure to chemicals in the
environment poses a serious threat to human reproduction and development via disrupting …

Considerable attention has been directed toward documenting the effects of environmental
chemicals on the endocrine systems of vertebrates, especially on development and …

Extracts of sediment collected from Masan Bay, Korea were fractionated using Florisil
columns. Fractions were screened for their ability to induce estrogen-and dioxinlike gene …

Fish polychlorinated‐biphenyl (PCB) measurements usually represent one of two different
sample types: filets or homogenized whole fish. Filet measurements are more appropriate …

Abstract The upper Hudson River of New York State, USA, is contaminated with
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as a result of industrial discharges throughout the latter …

Isomer‐specific concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) including highly toxic
non‐, mono‐and di‐ortho coplanar congeners were determined in resident, migratory birds …

As a component of an ecological risk assessment of Poplar Creek (located on the Oak Ridge
Reservation [ORR]) and the Clinch River (a large river–reservoir system), fish from Poplar …

Great efforts have been made over the last decade to formulate sets of toxic equivalency
factors (TEFs) for an important group of persistent and toxic environmental contaminants …

The use of industrial, agricultural, and commercial products, as well as incineration of the
wastes of our society has lead to the release of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) …
