The present study provides additional insight into the persistence of PBB at the population level from observations over a continuous 32-month period on a large sample of lactating Michigan women. There were 2986 breast-milk specimens submitted to be analyzed for PBB. Each specimen was from a nursing mother residing in the state of Michigan between May 1976 and December 1978. The mean age of these female respondents was 28, ranging from 17 to 44 years.
