Background: Indoor air concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in some
buildings are one or more orders of magnitude higher than background levels. In response …

Adolescence is a period of significant physiological changes, and likely a sensitive window
to chemical exposure. Few nation-wide population-based studies of chemical body burdens …

Applications of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in buildings and their persistence in indoor
environments have led to cases of current and highly elevated exposure in humans, despite …

As part of an investigation of the total indoor exposure of residents in PCB contaminated
apartments in a building estate in Denmark, 73 homes were visited. Samples of air, vacuum …
