TCPM is a phenobarbital and a 3-methylcholanthrene inducer producing hepatic effects, splenomegaly, and increased white blood cell and lymphocyte counts in rats after short-term dietary exposure. There are indications of a possible carcinogen

Relatively high PCT concentrations, more than 10 mg/kg on a lipid weight basis in marine mammals and birds, show the bioaccumulative properties of PCTs. The persistent chara

The PBB production was strongly reduced after an accident in which PBBs were mixed with cattle feed. In contrast with that the PBDE production is increasing. Nowadays, most of the PBDE production is based on decaBDE.How

To date there is limited information on the distribution and fate of PCAs in the environment. There have been recent advances in the analysis of
