Title: is there any scientific articles about PCB?
Post by: Talia on 06/03/2011 14:40:17

Hay,

I'm looking for some scientific articles about PCB on web.
It doesn't matter what research it was about in that article.
Also, it's not important which year that article was published... (of course, I would like to read the newest scientific facts but it's not condition.)
Only it's important that it's reliable article.
It can involve DDT also.

There are thousands, Here's on I picked pretty much at random.

As you can see it's not very interesting unless you happen to want to know about analysis of PCBs in butter in the EU.
What are you hoping to find?

You may check out Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT

Follow the footnotes, and you should find some interesting reading, although it may take a couple of hops through footnotes and bibliographies to get into some good primary source material.
