Polychlorinated dibenzo- p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls that have toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) were measured in serum of 946 subjects in five Michigan counties.
Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of structurally related chemicals that persist in the environment and may bio-accumulate in animal sources of food and in human tissues.
Human milk samples were collected and analysed for the levels of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and selected dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Potent polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxinlike polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are among the most relevant toxic emissions from incinerators.
The AhR gene also displays affinity for structurally related xenobiotics, including polychlorinated dibenzo- p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (Denison et al. 2002).
2. Research polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's).
Writer discusses hexachlorophene, a widely used polychlorinated phenolic compound.
Scientific studies have linked PCB's, or polychlorinated biphenyls, to cancer.

E.P.A. investigators found volatile organic compounds, or VOCs; heavy metals; pesticides; and polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs.
These include asbestos, lead, mercury, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and World Trade Center dust.
