The toxicities of various polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were measured in avian embryos. In chick embryos the non-ortho chlorine substituted coplanar PCBs proved to be very toxic (embryolethality and malformations). 3, 3′, 4, 4′, 5-Pentachlorobiphenyl (PeCB) had the highest embryotoxicity of the tested chlorobiphenyls and was the most potent inducer of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) in chick embryos. Whereas 3, 3′, 4, 4′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TeCB) was only a few times less toxic than the pentachlorobiphenyl, the analogs of TeCB chlorinated at one ortho-position were 3–4 orders of magnitude less toxic than PeCB. Embryos of eight other avian species were considerably less sensitive than chick embryos to TeCB. In addition to this tetrachlorobiphenyl the coplanar pentachlorobiphenyl was less toxic in turkey embryos than in chick embryos, indicating that the interspecific differences in sensitivity to TeCB also are valid for other Ah receptor ligands.
