Sentence examples for polychlorinated dibenzodioxin from inspiring English sources

Dioxin measurements showed a clear predominance of polychlorinated dibenzofuran over polychlorinated dibenzodioxin congeners, a dioxin/PCB ratio of approximately 1 50,000 and a PCB fingerprint resembling that of an Aroclor mixture, thus confirming contamination by transformer oil rather than by other environmental sources.

Dioxin, also called polychlorinated dibenzodioxin, any of a group of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds known to be environmental pollutants that are generated as undesirable by-products in the manufacture of herbicides, disinfectants, and other agents.

CYP1A1 induction has been correlated to higher-order toxic effects, including thymic atrophy, weight loss, and lethal toxicity induced by PCB, polychlorinated dibenzodioxin, and polychlorinated dibenzofuran exposure in rodents (Safe 1987).

During the past decade a considerable amount of data has been generated concerning polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) levels in humans from many geographical locations.
