Intellectual Impairment in Children Exposed to Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Utero
TL;DR: Prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls was associated with lower full-scale and verbal IQ scores and the strongest effects related to memory and attention, suggesting that the developing fetal brain is particularly sensitive to these compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of in utero exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and related contaminants on cognitive functioning in young children
TL;DR: Prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and related contaminants predicted poorer short-term memory function on both verbal and quantitative tests in a dose-dependent fashion and demonstrates the continuation of a toxic impact received in utero and observed initially during infancy on a dimension of cognitive functioning fundamental to learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of intrauterine PCB exposure on visual recognition memory.
TL;DR: The relation between prenatal exposure and visual recognition was not mediated by the neonatal deficits, suggesting that intrauterine PCB exposure may have a delayed effect on central nervous system (CNS) functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls: effects on birth size and gestational age.

TL;DR: Control analyses showed that none of these effects was attributable to any of 37 potential confounding variables, including socioeconomic status, maternal age, smoking during pregnancy, and exposure to polybrominated biphenyls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of exposure to PCBs and related compounds on growth and activity in children.
TL;DR: Activity is the first domain found to be affected by lactation at contemporary levels of exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls, an effect consistent with previous data linking developmental effects of low-dose human PCB exposures specifically to the prenatal period.
