Description:
The Pesticides and PCBs in Blood data set contains analytical results for measurements of up to 11 pesticides and up to 36 PCBs in 86 blood samples over 86 households. Each sample was collected as a venous sample from the primary respondent within each household. The samples consisted of two 8-mL tubes. The pesticides of interest include p,p-dde (CAS# 72-55-9), p,p-ddt (CAS# 50-29-3), dieldrin (CAS# 60-57-1), b-HCCH (CAS# 608-73-1), and mirex (CAS# 2385-85-5). The PCBs of interest include trichlorobiphenyls, tetrachlorobiphenyls, pentachlorobiphenyls, hexachlorobiphenyls, heptaclorobiphenyls, octachlorobiphenyls, and a decachlorobiphenyl. Keywords: air; pesticides, PCBs.
The U.S.-Mexico Border Program is sponsored by the Environmental Health Workgroup of the Border 2012 Program. The Environmental Health Workgroup's mission is "to identify and address, in a binational framework, environmental factors that pose the highest risk to human health so that exposure to such factors may be reduced." To accomplish this mission, studies are performed to help understand the interrelationships between environmental conditions and human health. The Arizona Border Study, sponsored by the Environmental Health Workgroup, is an extension of the Arizona National Human Exposure Assessment Survey (NHEXAS) Phase I Study. The Arizona Border Study collected household environmental and personal samples for chemical analysis, and questionnaires were administered. The NHEXAS Phase I Questionnaires were used with some adjustments and were organized into seven modules (Descriptive, Baseline, Technician, Follow-up, Time and activity diary, Dietary diary, and Supplement) for simplicity in administration. The questionnaires are designed for collecting information that can be temporally related to the exposure, concentration, and/or biological measurements. The Arizona Border study sampled residences determined by a population-based probability research design for populations in the Arizona counties bordering Mexico, and measured metals, pesticides, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Analytical results were obtained under strict QA/QC requirements during collection, processing, and final deposition into databases. In addition, strict standard operating procedures were followed throughout the Arizona Border study. The study was conducted by a consortium composed of the University of Arizona, Battelle Columbus, and the Illinois Institute of Technology. Data collection occurred between September 1997 and July 1998 for the participating households.

Data Use & Constraints
:HEDS is a rich source of data that EPA encourages you to use for research and analysis. Users must be familiar with data file manipulation and analysis. EPA cannot analyze, check results, debug programs, or review literature for your work. Thoroughly reviewing the documentation on the survey's planning, analytic guidelines, and datasets available through HEDS and EIMS should resolve most questions. If you have questions after reviewing the documentation, please contact the Human Exposure and Atmospheric Sciences Division at 919-541-3184 or email "admin.heds@epa.gov". Please review the data use restrictions in the Notice field and your agreement to comply with these restrictions in using the data.
These data are the result of a probability-based sampling design specific to the population under study. Thus the data may or may not be representative of subsets of this study's population or of other populations. The study was designed to test certain hypotheses, which may limit its applicability for other purposes. When using these data it is important to consider the percentage of non-responses or non-detects in the data as an indicator of its usefulness for other purposes. The U.S. EPA accepts no liability for any errors or omissions in the results included in the data sets, associated information, and/or documentation.
Based on the output format selected by the user and the software into which the data set is imported, users may notice measurements and sampling weights are zero-padded to the right of non-zero decimal digits. These zeroes are a function of the formatting process and the software's acceptance of that format and should not be construed as significant digits in the value. Measurement values are provided with four significant digits; sampling weights are provided with three decimal digits.
Some code values may have been revised from the values on the original questionnaire forms. Check the appropriate code set supplied with the data.
