Levels of chemical contaminants in nonoccupationally exposed US residents. [Tabulated listing of 100 elements or compounds, analytical methods, and tissues found]
This report is a compilation of information on chemical contaminants found in nonoccupationally exposed US residents. Listed in tabular form for each of approximately 100 elements or compounds are: the tissue the compound was found in; the range and means or medians of concentrations found; the number of cases; the analytical methods used for detection, identification, and quantitation; the bibliographic reference; information on the source and route of entry of the contaminant into the environment and into man; epidemiological and demographical aspects; and other pertinent comments. Sources of literature used in the survey cover a 30-year period, with the bulk of the studies coming from the past 10 or 15 years. About 400 references are cited. Some substances that are not necessarily contaminants are included in the report for scientific interest and to establish baselines.
