Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are industrial chemicals that have been released into the environment, resulting in widespread and persistent contamination. PCBs exist as 209 different congeners depending on the chlorine substitution on the biphenyl rings, and the physical properties and toxic
We analyzed the vapor phase atmospheric concentrations of representative persistent chemicals (i.e., α- and γ-hexachlorocyclohexane, phenanthrene, PCB-18 and PCB-52) in samples collected at a remote site near Eagle Harbor, Michigan, and at an urban site in Chicago, Illinois, using four
Stable colloidal suspensions of buckminsterfullerene (nC(60)) in aqueous environments can significantly affect the fate and transport of hydrophobic organic contaminants by serving as a contaminant carrier. In this study, we examined enhanced transport of 2,2',5,5'-polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) in saturated sandy
Exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is known to suppress immune system function and this action is usually ascribed to dioxin-like PCBs that act via the Ah receptor. We have studied the effects of one ortho-substituted, non-dioxin-like PCB (PCB 52) and
The bioavailability of coplanar 2,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB118) and nonplanar 2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB52) from soils representing a range in organic carbon (OC), clay content and pH were investigated using an in vivo rat model and an in vitro physiologically based extraction test (PBET)
