The article discussses the health effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). Between 1960 and 1977 Monsanto's Newport plant produced several types of PCB, that are persistent and ubiquitous and toxic. But their usefulness in industry made them too profitable to withdraw from the market until ...
What Are The Human Health Effects Of PCBs? Polychlorinated biphenyls are a group of 209 different chemicals which share a common structure but vary in the number of attached chlorine atoms. An estimated 1.3 million pounds of different types of PCBs were dumped into the Hudson River by General E...

Toxic effects can be induced in experimental animals by high doses of pure PCBs, and in man by PCDF-contaminated PCB. In order to assess the effects of ordinary, uncontaminated PCB on man, a group of capacitor workers who had direct occupational exposure to Aroclors 1254, 1242, and 1016 ...

In additional human cohorts where exposure could be considered as environmental or background, more subtle effects, including lower birth weights, alterations in thyroid hormones and lymphocyte subpopulations and detriments in neurological development, have been consistently seen. In most instances, negative...

In the absence of predetermined classes, regulatory agencies and other organizations have developed methods to group chemicals including: Structural similarity (e.g., common chemical group, shared metabolism,precursors, etc.); Causes adverse effects on the same organs or biological systems (e.g., ne...
