Pulmonary Proteomic Responses to Subacute 2,2′,5,5′-Tetrachlorobiphenyl-4-ol Exposure via a Subcutaneous Implant in Adolescent Female Rats

Hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) are biologically active metabolites that may contribute to adverse respiratory outcomes, yet their effects on the developing lung remain poorly characterized. This study investigated the impact of 2,2′,5,5′-tetrachlorobiphenyl-4-ol...

Sol–Gel-Encapsulated Biofilms on Biochar Effectively Degrade PCBs and Extend Biodegradation Activity under Environmentally Relevant Conditions

Abstract Attaching aerobic, PCB-degrading cells to carbon-based sorbent materials prior to sediment application is a feasible approach for bioaugmenting contaminated sediments to improve remediation strategies. Furthermore, encapsulation of attached cells with a novel, tailored s...
