PCBs in humans: What we know and what we don't know

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5477956
PCBs are found in the adipose tissue of humans through environmental, dietary, and occupational exposure. Measurement of PCB concentrations in human adipose, blood, and other tissues has begun to give a picture of the human body burden. Total aggregate PCB concentrations are of some use, but the fingerprint chromatograms from the individual congeners tell much more about the exposure (e.g., which Aroclor is involved), uptake, and metabolism of PCBs.
