Mortality among workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls. In the general population, the less estrogenic p,p′-DDT, and its metabolite, p,p′-DDE, are present in blood in much higher concentrations than o,p′-DDT (107), reflecting their slower metabolism and the fact that the primary source of exposure is diet. Endogenous defenses may well be effective against synthetic toxins, as has been suggested by Ames and colleagues (3). ppb, parts per billion, ppt, parts per trillion. 82: 21: 19: In mothers and their children from Rotterdam, background levels of PCB exposure, as assessed in breast milk, was associated with lower maternal T3 and T4 levels and higher infant TSH levels (68). Growth abnormalities in the population exposed in utero and early postnatally to polychlorinated biphenyls and dibenzofurans. In the North Carolina children, who were essentially a population cross-section, those whose level of prenatal exposure was among the highest 5–10% showed hypotonia (decreased muscle tone) and hyporeflexia at birth and slower motor development on serial examinations until 2 years of age. Because dioxin and dioxin-like compounds are often present as complex mixtures, expressing their toxicity as total TEq facilitates regulation and evaluation of effects. 53, Annual Review of Anthropology Such an approach might help avoid committing our limited research resources to studies of diseases with poorly understood etiology in relation to ambient organochlorine exposure unless a strong biologic rationale is delineated. The most statistically powerful data addressing this association are from Swedish case-control studies in which questionnaires were used to assess exposure (50). Background exposure to PCBs, slightly higher than average due to frequent fish consumption, was found to be associated with GGT level in a survey of 458 people in Alabama (69). Among workers who previously were heavily exposed to dioxin, however, evidence of induction of a P450 enzyme (P4501A2) was not evident (49). Absence of convincing evidence, however, does not mean absence of risk. It also was effective for insect control in crop and livestock production, institutions, homes, and gardens. Effects of PCB exposure on biochemical and hematologic findings in capacitor workers. Journal reference: The Lancet (vol 358, p 114). Among those with greater PCB exposure the prevalence of hypotonia was increased and prevalence of neurologic optimality was reduced—findings like of those in the US studies. The summary SMRs and their Poisson-based 95% confidence intervals (10) shown at the bottom of Table 4 therefore provide only a rough indication of overall association. Mortality of workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls–an update. Sources: 58, 68. In a more recent study, neurologic “optimality” in newborns was examined in relation to PCB levels in The Netherlands (57). TEFs are based on findings from a variety of experimental settings and species, and no specific set of TEFs has achieved universal acceptance. Neurotoxicology of PCBs and related compounds. 123, Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology Even more revealing is the lack of a dose-response: "Workers heavily exposed to DDT never had more cancer than workers not exposed to DDT." The human health effects of herbicide exposure have been reviewed recently by the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine (IOM) (Table 5) (60). Vol. In each study, the cases and controls were from the same well-defined population, and the results were adjusted for potential differences between subjects with high and low p,p′-DDE levels. 225 A range of diseases and disorders have been linked to DDT’s presence in the human body. Competition for public a... Andrew Kolodny, David T. Courtwright, Catherine S. Hwang, Peter Kreiner, John L. Eadie, Thomas W. Clark, G. Caleb AlexanderVol. Today, nearly 40 years after DDT was banned in the U.S., we continue to live with its long-lasting effects: DDT saves lives when used on the tsetse fly in Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. We also briefly consider the health effects of PCDFs because some have dioxin-like activity and therefore assessment of the potential toxicity of dioxin-like compounds is informed by data on PCDF effects. This was the single most important cause of environmental contamination throughout the food chain. DDT also has serious health effects on humans. Dioxin is a hepatic carcinogen in rats, but only among females (75).

DDT and related compounds and risk of pancreatic cancer. Relationship between clinical and electrophysiological findings and indicators of heavy exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-dioxin. Neurologic and developmental status in children, as assessed at birth with the Brazelton Behavioral Assessment Scale and subsequently with other measures, has been examined in relation to PCB exposure among two US cohorts, one in North Carolina (89) and a second in Michigan (62, 63). The epidemiologic data reviewed, considered in isolation, provide no convincing evidence that organochlorines cause a large excess number of cancers. For a mixture of compounds, the product of the concentration and TEF for each compound (the toxic equivalence [TEq] for the compound) is summed across all compounds present to obtain a total toxic equivalency for the mixture. In the five studies, all with fewer than 50 cases, the level of p,p′-DDE in adipose tissue of cases and controls was compared. 25, Annual Review of Phytopathology 221 When PCBs or other materials are subjected to extreme heat, such as in incinerators, PCDFs and PCDDs are produced. 202, 1000 North Oak Avenue, Marshfield, Wisconsin 54449, Annual Review of Public Health 34: Occupational exposure to PCDDs and PCDFs, as estimated with blood measures on a subset of subjects and expressed as total TEq, increased in proportion to mortality from cardiovascular disease and ischemic heart disease among workers in the Boehringer-Ingelh plant in Hamburg, Germany (40). Many organochlorines are endocrine disruptors or carcinogens in experimental assays. 463 A 2017 review of liver cancer studies concluded that "organochlorine pesticides, including DDT, may increase hepatocellular carcinoma risk". The half-life of antipyrine, a drug metabolized by this enzyme system like phenobarbital, was studied in PCB-exposed workers and controls, and was found to be 50% shorter among the exposed (2). These two insects cause serious diseases, such as malaria and sleeping sickness. Overall, the epidemiologic data are consistent with dioxin being a cause of STS, but are inconclusive. Whether p,p′-DDE or related DDT compounds decrease duration of lactation remains unresolved. The myriad abnormalities present in the Yu-Cheng children raise the possibility that children may be more sensitive than adults to the adverse effects of organochlorine exposure. 1 In a Dutch study, the frequency of infectious illnesses among breast-fed infants in the first 18 months of life were unrelated to PCB levels (120). Of more general interest, however, is evidence suggesting insidious effects of background exposure. Despite their relative strength, the validity of the findings in the three studies remains open to question, and the statistical power is limited. Future investigations of background PCB effects may be especially informative, therefore, if confounding by dioxin can be ruled out. Pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyl residues in human breast lipids and their relation to breast cancer. Risk of melanoma, however, was not related to estimated cumulative PCB exposure. Fish consumption and reproductive outcomes in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Toxicology Unit, Fondazione S.

The health effects of occupational and general population exposures to org- anochlorine compounds are often considered together in this review. Vol. - Manifestations of DDT poisoning in humans arise by the same mechanism (27). Several associations, however, merit more study, such as p,p′-DDE and breast cancer. Occurrence of beta-hexachlorocyclohexane in breast cancer patients. Case-control study: soft-tissue sarcomas and exposure to phenoxyacetic acids or chlorophenols. ▪ Abstract Organochlorines are a diverse group of persistent synthetic compounds, some of which are detectable in nearly everyone. Because of the relatively small size of the occupational cohorts exposed to PCBs, few investigators have reported findings for death from liver cirrhosis. Mortality study of workers employed at organochlorine pesticide manufacturing plants. Note that East Asia and Pacific includes China; South Asia includes India. The data relating occupational exposure to DDT and pancreatic cancer, and questionnaire-assessed DDT exposure with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are suspicious and worthy of follow-up. Mortality of workers potentially exposed to organic and inorganic brominated chemicals, DBCP, TRIS, PBB, and DDT. The realization that persistent chemicals could be both uncontrollable and unexpectedly toxic is usually attributed to Rachel Carson, who published Silent Spring in 1962 (18). For each type of organochlorine reviewed, we provide a note on history and background exposure and then group the findings according to the type of outcome. Classification as an endocrine disrupter was based on data in (64, 106). DDT induced chromosomal aberrations in human blood cultures, but, in most studies, DDT did not induce genotoxic effects in rodent or human cell systems, nor was it mutagenic to fungi or bacteria. The E-SCREEN assay as a tool to identify estrogens: an update on estrogenic environmental pollutants. Among the most highly exposed group (Asians), however, evidence of a direct p,p′-DDE-breast cancer relation was weakest. 245, Annual Review of Public Health Across studies, results are often inconsistent. 135, Annual Review of Environment and Resources Premature delivery and organochlorine compounds: polychlorinated biphenyls and some organochlorine insecticides. The epidemiologic data that high-level dioxin exposure causes liver function abnormalities and chloracne are incontrovertible. The effect, if any, of exposure to a specific organochlorine compound may depend on the presence of other compounds (organochlorines, or otherwise). Figure 1: Rates of OPR sales, OPR-related unintentional overdose deaths, and OPR addiction treatment admissions, 1999–2010. In fact, all the PCBs, PCDFs, and PCDDs with the greatest dioxin-like activity have chlorines at the far ends of the molecule and not elsewhere. Bush et al (16) found the levels of p,p′-DDE in the semen of men with and without fertility problems were similar. 331. Dioxin–an analysis of the major human studies: comparison with animal-based cancer risks. Please see our Privacy Policy. All of these are white, crystalline, tasteless, and almost odorless solids. In the case of Agent Orange, the health effects of the active ingredients (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid [2,4-D], 2,4,5-triichlorophenoxyacetic acid [2,4,5-T]) are hard to distinguish from that of the Agent Orange contaminant dioxin. From the result of the search, we identified reports of cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies, and reviews. 43, Annual Review of Public Health Results of clinical laboratory investigations. 243 Breast cancer and serum organochlorines: a prospective study among white, black, and Asian women. 451. International Agency for Research on Cancer. Mortality 4 years after poisoning in Taiwan was remarkable for one half of the 24 deaths observed being due to liver cancer or liver disease (54). Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethene (DDE) in human milk: effects on growth, morbidity, and duration of lactation. Note that East Asia and Pacific includes China; South Asia includes India. Organochlorine compounds in human breast fat from deceased with and without breast cancer and in a biopsy material from newly diagnosed patients undergoing breast surgery. The odds ratio per standard deviation increase in p,p′-DDE for both studies combined was 1.27 (95% CI 0.95–1.69). Following exposure to high doses, human symptoms can include vomiting, tremors or shakiness, and seizures. For example, 10% of capacitor manufacturing workers had hyperpigmentation (39), a prevalence presumably higher than in the general population. 43: - TABLE 5 Summary table from the Update 1996 Veterans and Agent Orange Institute of Medicine review (60) of findings in occupational, environmental, and veterans studies regarding the association between specific health problems and exposure to herbicides (revised)a. aNote: “Herbicides” refers to the major herbicides used in Vietnam: 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid); 2,4,5-T (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and its contaminant TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin); cacodylic acid; and picloram. In Japan, the epidemic illness resulting from consumption of the contaminated food was dubbed Yusho, or oil disease; in Taiwan, it was called Yu-Cheng. A systematic health survey among the exposed was not conducted in either location. By far the best-selling PCB mixture was 42% chlorine by weight (Aroclor 1242), which consisted of 1% monochlorobiphenyls, 13% bichlorobiphenyls, 45% trichlorobiphenyls, 31% tetrachlorobiphenyls, and 10% pentachlorobiphenyls. - By modern standards, good data on the relation of DDT exposure to adverse reproductive outcomes are nearly nonexistent. Symptoms of poisoning include perioral and lingual paresthesia, apprehension, hypersensitivity to stimuli, irritability, dizziness, vertigo, tremor, and convulsions (28, 53). Other relevant data were identified from the reference lists in the publications so identified. Vol. Metabolic and health consequences of occupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls. aAdapted from (50). 270, Annual Review of Phytopathology Decline in semen quality among fertile men in Paris during the past 20 years. In 1972 the Environmental Protection Agency banned the chemical because of the adverse environmental effects, and it is now classified as a probable human carcinogen. With the decrease in use of DDT, blood levels of dichlorodiphenylchloroeth- anes have fallen; levels among those in the general population in the 1960s were about five times higher than at present. We note, however, a mass poisoning with hexachlorobenzene (46), and epidemics of seizures due to endrin-contaminated food (116). Due to hormonal regulation in the fully developed human, however, compensation for antagonism by p,p′-DDE could be complete. In developing countries where DDT is still in use, a concomitant decrease in lactation could contribute to infant mortality. Data resulting from the industrial accident in Seveso, Italy (6), in 1976, are cited repeatedly in the following section; thus a brief description of that incident is given here. - 36, 2015, Public health authorities have described, with growing alarm, an unprecedented increase in morbidity and mortality associated with use of opioid pain relievers (OPRs). DDT is considered a possible human carcinogen. Evidence that exposure to dioxin causes a subacute transient peripheral neuropathy derives mainly from a study of Seveso residents examined within two years of the accident (37). Data from several small studies (88, 97, 98) showed cord tissue or cord blood DDT (mostly p,p′-DDE) levels were higher in premature infants than in term infants. Data from the largest prospective studies of workers occupationally exposed to dioxins, either in the chemical manufacturing industry (38), or in manufacturing or application of herbicides (66), also support an association. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds as antioestrogens: characterization and mechanism of action. But once sprayed on Many other factors, however, could be responsible for the decline, and rates of cryptorchidism appear to have been increasing when DDT levels were falling. A runaway chemical reaction caused an explosion that created a cloud of ∼3000 kg of organic material, including an unknown but substantial amount of dioxin. soft-tissue sarcoma and dioxin, potential confounding due to other exposures precludes conclusions regarding causality. Nondetectable concentrations of human placental Ah receptors are associated with potent induction of microsomal benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase in individuals exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls, quaterphenyls, and dibenzofurans. In a subgroup of infertile subjects in that study, however, sperm motility was inversely related to PCB level, but whether the reduction in motility was due to PCBs was unclear. Malignant lymphoma and exposure to chemicals, especially organic solvents, chlorophenols and phenoxy acids: a case-control study. In both locations, exposure to PCBs was much greater than for PDCFs, but in terms of TEqs, PCDFs contributed the majority. Effects of pre- and postnatal exposure to chlorinated dioxins and furans on human neonatal thyroid hormone concentrations. - In Wisconsin, however, PCB exposure was associated with the frequency of infectious illness in the first four months of life (105). Re: Breast cancer and serum organochlorines: a prospective study among white, black and Asian women. As with other environmentally persistent organochlorine residues, exposure is ongoing due to accumulation in the biosphere. The existing epidemiologic data, considered in isolation, provide no convincing evidence that organochlorines cause a large excess number of cancers. The possibility that bias accounts for the association cannot be ruled out, and the abnormalities found are subclinical. Human Health Effects of DDT. 491, Annual Review of Entomology ...The chemical structure of the compounds considered in greatest detail in this review are shown in Figure 1.... TABLE 1 Salient characteristics of pesticide organochlorine compounds of importance in public healtha.

Effects of exposure to related compounds, such as DDD [1,1-dichloro-2,2,-bis(p-chlorphenyl)ethane, a dichlorodiphenylethane] were also evaluated and were associated independently with increased risk.

Corals bleached from heat become less resilient to ocean acidification, The scientific guide to a better Christmas dinner, How do mRNA coronavirus vaccines work? The potential for a confluence of animal and human findings exists regarding sex-specific carcinogenic effects of dioxin in the hepatobiliary system. The potential relation of dioxin exposure with risk of hepatobiliary cancer merits consideration because in animal models of dioxin carcinogenesis liver cancer is a frequent finding (56). A high blood DDE concentration was more strongly linked to prematurity than maternal smoking. Human health effects from DDT at low environmental doses are unknown. Increases in serum triglycerides and decreased bilirubin were found in both populations, and abnormalities in other liver function tests were also evident, although the pattern of abnormality varied between populations. Given the consistency of data that implicate aromatic chlorinated compounds as a cause of chloracne, there seems little reason to doubt that PCBs cause chloracne. - Studies of transformer repair workers exposed to PCBs: II.
