Aquatic Ecosystem Contamination and Riverine Flux of Persistent Organochlorine Pollutants (POPs) to Coastal Seas in the Asia-Pacific Region
Oceans. The POPs elected for study included the industrial chemical PCBs [polychlorinated biphenyls]; the insecticides DDT, HCH [hexachlorocyclohexane], chlordane, heptachlor, drins [aldrin, dieldrin and occasionally endrin]; and HCB [hexachlorobenzene]. All, except HCH, are members of UNEP's dirty dozen POPs list. HCH was added because it has been heavily used in the Asia-Pacific region since ...

Our Stolen Future: PCBs impair disease resistance in Inuit children
What did they do? Dewailly et al. measured levels in mother's milk of 10 PCB congeners and 8 chlorinated pesticides or metabolites (p,p-DDE, mirex, heptachlor epoxide, chlordane, hexachlorobenzene, endrin, and dieldrin). Milk samples were taken shortly after birth and used as an index to in utero exposure. Then during the first year of life they examined participating infants' health ...
