Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental pollutants. This study compared effects of two PCB mixtures, Aroclors 1221 (A1221) and 1254 (A1254) on serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), urea, creatinine and uric acid in
Differential effects of aroclors and DDT on growth factor gene expression and receptor tyrosine kinase activity in human breast epithelial cells.

Cells of an aerobic three-membered bacterial co-culture, designated as ECO3, capable of cometabolizing and aerobically dechlorinating low-chlorinated biphenyls in the presence of biphenyl, were immobilized on Manville silica beads, on frosted-glass beads and on polyurethane foam cubes in packed-bed bioreactors
Contaminated sites in Lagos, Nigeria were screened for the presence of chlorobiphenyl-degrading bacteria. The technique of continual enrichment on Askarel fluid yielded bacterial isolates able to utilize dichlorobiphenyls (diCBs) as growth substrates and six were selected for further studies. Phenotypic
Polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons such as polychlorinated biphenyls and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) are extremely stable and widely distributed environmental pollutants. These chemicals are animal carcinogens and probable human carcinogens, and TCDD is possibly one of the most potent toxins ever evaluated by
