In the current study, we determined in vitro accumulation of hexachlorobenzene (HCBz) and pentachlorobenzene (PeCBz) in porcine ovarian follicles, the effect on steroidogenesis and the expression of enzymes responsible for steroid synthesis. Sixty percent of the HCBz and almost 100%

Passive air sampling survey of the Central and Eastern Europe was initiated in 2006. This paper presents data on toxic organic compounds such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB 28, 52, 101, 118, 153, 138, and 180), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), pentachlorobenzene (PeCB), hexachlorocyclohexane
Nonpolar organic chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorobenzenes are expected to act additively when exposed as a mixture. The present study examined the toxicity of fluoranthene (FLU) and pentachlorobenzene (PCBz) individually and in a binary mixture using the
The regional observatory Kosetice is a central European background station. Unique continuous monitoring from 1988 on is held here. POP (persistent organic pollutant) concentration values of air samples from Kosetice taken between 1996 and 2005 were statistically processed. Values of

The study of a population of 4-year-old children born between 1997 and 1999 in an urban area under strong inputs of pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) suggested that the measured concentrations of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in serum may essentially result from
