Polychlorinated Biphenyls

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Industrial products consisting of a mixture of chlorinated biphenyl congeners and isomers. These compounds are highly lipophilic and tend to accumulate in fat stores of animals. Many of these compounds are considered toxic and potential environmental pollutants.  "yusho poisoning": see note on RICE
