Abstract: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) cause significant health and reproductive problems in many vertebrates. Exposure during embryogenesis likely leads to defects in organ development, compromising survival and growth through adulthood. This study identifies the impact of PCBs… read more here.

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to measure biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners contained in mixture Aroclor 1248 and congeners present in wastewater lagoon sediment contaminated decades earlier at Altavista, Virginia. A well-characterized strain of aerobic PCB-degrading… read more here.
