Determination of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB's) residues in grades of pulp, paper and paperboard

Lead and other elements in sheep fed colored magazines and newsprint

“…The meal has bond (Nishimuta et al, 1969), and a variety of others (Becker et al, 1975). Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) (Shahied et al, 1973; Masuda and Kagawa, 1972;Villeneuve et al, 1973), polychlorinated terphenyls (Thomas and Reynolds, 1973;Villeneuve et al, 1973), and unidentified compounds (Serum, et al, 1973) have been detected in waste paper and paperboard. Lactating cows fed waste newsprint, grey or brown cardboards, or computer paper as 30% of their ration for periods up to 39 days excreted PCB's in their milk and showed tissue (Furr et al, 1974).…”

Fate of polychlorinated biphenyls, metals, and other elements in papers fed to lactating cows

“…PCBs have also been reported in paper board (Thomas and Reynolds, 1973) and carbonless copying paper (Masuda and Kagawa, 1972) which may be included in paper products recycled into paperboard. PCBs have also been reported in a wide variety of paper products by others (Shahied et al, 1973;Stanovick et al, 1973;Food Chemical News, 1971). The toxicologic significance of PCBs in the environment has been amply reviewed (Peakall, 1972;Edwards, 1971;Environmental Health Perspectives, 1972;Peakall and Lincer, 1970).…”
