Polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs) are compounds which require further studies to investigate their effects on human health and on the environment. PCTs are similar to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their chemical characteristics and have been used industrially in the same way as PCBs, which are ubiquitous pollutants. PCT residues were identified in the eggs and fatty tissue of herring gulls. In Japan, PCT residues were subsequently reported in various samples, including human tissues. It was also reported that the PCT distributions in the environment and human body were not necessarily the same as those of PCBs. For instance, the levels of PCTs in human fat and blood were almost equal to those of PCBs, although the PCT residue levels in environmental samples such as water, fish and foodstuffs were much lower than those of PCBs. The present study was performed in order to clarify the tissue distribution of PCTs in the human body. Several differences between the PCT and PCB distributions in human tissues were found.
