AB  - In recent years, there has been a growing number of scientific publications 
      examining the role of environmental factors, such as persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs), in the development of atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis 
      associated diseases. POPs are synthetic lipophilic toxic compounds which are 
      resistant to degradation in the environment and capable of bioaccumulation in the 
      human body. A direct association between exposure to POPs and clinical and 
      laboratory manifestations of atherosclerosis have been reported in a number of 
      studies conducted since the early 1980s. In this article, we summarize published 
      results of epidemiologic studies conducted in occupational and general 
      populations as well as results of experimental studies conducted on laboratory 
      animals. We discuss the lack of consistency in some findings and the necessity to 
      further investigate the problem of POPs and atherosclerosis.
