Perinatal exposure to PCBs and dioxins is associated with immune changes in healthy
Dutch preschool children. To examine whether such effects persist into later childhood, we …

Prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins is associated with
changes in the T-cell lymphocyte population in healthy Dutch infants. We investigated …

Immunologic effects of pre-and postnatal polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)/dioxin exposure in
Dutch infants from birth to 18 mo of age are explored. The total study group consisted of 207 …

We investigated whether prenatal exposure from the maternal diet to the toxicants
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins is associated with the development of …

BACKGROUND: Extensive experimental data in animals indicate that exposure to
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) during pregnancy leads to changes in offspring immune …

Environmental contaminants include the potentially toxic metals lead, cadmium and
mercury; the chlorinated pesticides mirex, toxaphene and hexachlorobenzene; chlorinated …

Background Early-life chemical exposure may influence immune system development,
subsequently affecting child health. We investigated immunomodulatory potentials of …

In this study, we investigated 17-to 18-year-old boys and girls to determine whether changes
in humoral or cellular immunity or respiratory complaints were related to blood serum levels …

A birth cohort study is being launched to examine polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 2, 3, 7,
8-tetrachlorinated dibenzo-dioxin (TCDD), and dioxin-like toxic equivalence (TEQ) …

Background Developmental exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been
implicated as a possible cause of deficient immune function in children. This study was …
