The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between PCBs and OCPs exposure with TL in Tehran adult males. Whole-blood samples were randomly taken from three hundred adult males in population-based cross-section study from October 2016 to November 2017. We studied the serum levels of PCBs, OCPs as well as socio-demographic characteristics of individuals. The quantitative PCR was used to investigate the number of the telomere (T) repeats to the number of a single copy gene. We measured the effect of each PCBs and OCPs congeners on TL using linear regressions adjusted for age, BMI, smoking, and dietary patterns. The median level of the six non-dioxin-likes, five dioxin-likes PCBs three OCPs and TL in the study population were 344.5, 306.0, 45.0 ng/g lipid and 5377.7 ± 573.4 base pairs, respectively. In the adjusted model, the percent difference in the TLs with exposure to Σnon-dioxin-like PCBs, Σdioxin-like PCBs, and OCPs were 1.93 (-0.70 to 5.4), 3.4 (1.8-8.3) and -2.4 (-0.80 to -6.2), respectively. In the fourth quartile compared to the first quartile, the percent difference in the TLs due to Σnon-dioxin-like PCBs, Σdioxin-like PCBs, and OCP exposure were 0.01 (-0.01 to 0.05), 10.3 (2.9-18.1) and -0.20 (-0.10 to -4.5), respectively. Exposures to ndl-PCBs and dl-PCBs (except for PCB28) were related to longer TLs, but OCPs exposure can be related to telomere shortening. Hormesis is an ecotoxicological phenomenon referred to as the biphasic dose-response effect. At a low concentration of toxic substances, a hormetic stimulating effect occurs, while an inhibitory effect occurs at higher concentrations. The phenomenon of hormesis may hinder the interpretation of toxicity test results and lower the actual toxicity of test samples. In this study
