Especially bladder tumors of low malignancy (grade I) reveal minor abnormalities and therefore these tumors are often overlooked using cytological methods. Therefore, it appeared useful to examine the applicability of microscopic scanning cytophotometry to discriminate urothelial cells by objective parameters. A special combination of a Leitz MPV 2 microscope Cytophotometer and a digitizer has been built for reasons of interactive segmentation of the cell into nucleus, plasma and background. 240 cells, stained by Papanicolaou technique, have been visually classified and the computer discrimination between benign, atypical and malignant cells has been accomplished with a small error of classification, not greater than five percent.

Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is a brominated flame retardant, that is added, but not chemically bonded, to consumer products. HBCD is sold as a commercial-grade HBCD mixture containing three major stereoisomers: alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ), with relative amounts of 12% for α-HBCD, 6% for β-HBCD, and 82% for γ-HBCD. HBCDs are widely measured in the environment and in biological matrices.
