Polychlorinated naphthalenes: an environmental update
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the most recent data on environmental pollution, chemistry, analysis, sources, formation, persistence, toxicity and behavior of PCNs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans, biphenyls, naphthalenes and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the edible fish caught from the Baltic Sea and lakes in Finland.

TL;DR: The European Union's maximum permissible level for PCDD/Fs, 4 pg WHO-TEQ/g fresh weight (fw), was exceeded in salmon, river lamprey and Baltic herring and the concentrations of PBDEs in the lake fish were as high as in the Baltic Sea fish.

PCDEs, PCBs, PCDDs AND PCDFs in black guillemots and white-tailed sea eagles from the Baltic Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the concentrations and patterns of several chloro compounds including polychlorinated dibenzo p-dioxins (PCDD), dibenzofurans (PCDF), biphenyls (PCB) and diphenyl ethers were determined in black guillemots and white-tailed sea-eagles from the Baltic Sea environment.

TL;DR: Organochlorine concentrations in the muscle of female Baltic salmon, ascending for spawning in the Simojoki River on the north-eastern coast of the Gulf of Bothnia from 1988 to 1992 are given in this paper in relation to reproduction success, monitored as viability of offspring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polychlorinated diphenyl ethers (PCDEs): environmental levels, toxicity and human exposure: a review of the published literature.
TL;DR: It is concluded that investigations on experimental toxicity, dietary intake, and potential human health effects of PCDEs are clearly necessary.

TL;DR: In this paper, background levels of polychlorinated dioxins and dibenzofurans have been identified in technical products and pesticides, most of which are not very widely used today.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation and biotransformation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in fish
TL;DR: In fish in which the cytochrome P-450 system was inhibited with piperonylbutoxide, the bioconcentration factor of 2,8-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin was significantly higher than that in fish which were not pretreated with the blocking agent.
