Abstract The effects of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, PCB 126 (3,3′,4,4′,5‐pentaCB) and PCB 77 (3,3′4,4′‐tetraCB), were examined in chicken ( Gallus gallus ), American kestrel ( Falco sparverius ), and common tern ( Sterna hirundo ) embryos through hatching, following air cell injections...
