Abstract:
:To assess the elimination of PCBs in humans, PCB concentrations in serum from 165 capacitor manufacturing workers were measured twice within a 46-month interval (March 1976-December 1979). Use of PCBs at the facility was entirely eliminated in 1977. PCB congeners with lower chlorination (LPCBs--mainly tri- and tetrachlorobiphenyls) had decreased in concentration, with six of the LPCB 7 peaks observed by packed column GC showing average reductions of 25-90%. Higher chlorinated PCBs did not decrease significantly as a whole, although three of the six constituent congener peaks showed some decline (15-25%). As expected, decreases in PCB congener concentrations were associated with chlorine substitution configurations known to be amenable to metabolism.
