Human Exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Polybrominated Biphenyls [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1978 Although the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been used in a wide variety of industrial applications in the U. S. from 1930 until 1970, when their distribution was voluntarily restricted to closed systems, there is scant information on human exposure to adverse human health effects in the U. S. In the U.
