| Summary |
|
This book evaluates the effects of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) on human health. PCBs are synthetic chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds that have been produced and used in plasticizers, surface coatings, inks, dielectric fluids and so on. Since PCBs accumulate in the food-chain and persist in the environment, they are designated by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants as persistent pollutants. Many countries have severely restricted or banned the production of PCBs. |
