Quantifying the global fractionation of polychlorinated biphenyls
Article Abstract:
The hypothesis of global fractionation predicts changes in the composition of persistent organic pollutant mixtures with latitude. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have played an important role in the derivation of this hypothesis.

A perspective on the role of minerals in prebiotic synthesis
Article Abstract:
The possible role of minerals in prebiotic chemistry is discussed. Reactions involving the transformation of inorganic forms of the biogenic elements into simple organic molecules are emphasized.
