DOI: 10.1002/etc.5506
Abstract: Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is a persistent organic pollutant that has been characterized as an endocrine disruptor, undergoes maternal transfer, and hinders development and growth in oviparous organisms. The present study examined the apical effects of dietary… read more here.
