A comparison of PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls) contents of biota in different areas of the Baltic Sea suggests the northern part of the Gulf of Riga and Väinameri Sea (Estonian coastal water) as reference area for the Baltic Sea. The concentrations
Several reports have indicated that low level of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure can adversely affect a multitude of physiological disorders and diseases in in vitro, in vivo, and as reported in epidemiological studies. This investigation is focused on the possible
Sensitized photodechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyl, PCB 138, in three different surfactant solutions was studied. The sensitizer of choice was leuco-methylene blue, which was produced in situ from methylene blue using either triethylamine or sodium borohydride. Three types of surfactants, anionic

Developmental exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been associated with cognitive deficits in humans and laboratory animals by mechanisms that remain unknown. Recently, it has been shown that developmental exposure to 2,2',3,4,4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB138), a food-relevant PCB congener, decreases the learning

The effects of two substituted polychlorinated biphenyls, the 3,4,5,3',4,5' (PCB-169) and the 2,3,4,2',4',5' (PCB-138) forms, were examined on the expression of c-myc, c-jun, c-ras, and jun-b in 3T3-L1 cells. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the two PCBs, which exhibit a
