| Alternative Names | PCBs |
| Target Overview | Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)1 belong to a broad family of man-made organic chemicals known as chlorinated hydrocarbons and are considered as the most important persistent organic pollutants. Because many PCBs are very stable, difficult to degrade, and easy to enrich through biological chain, they are widely distributed in the environment. PCBs are often found to be associated with neuroreproductive toxicity, immunotoxicity, and tumor promotion. |
