Abstract |
Gas chromatographic patterns of polychlorinated biophenyls (PCBs) found in the serum of New Bedford, MA residents with high serum PCBs were compared to patterns found in lobsters and bluefish taken from local waters, and goats fed selected technical Aroclors (e.g., Aroclors 1016, 1242, 1254, or 1260) using Jaccard measures of similarity and Principal Component Analysis. Pattern in humans were silimar to patterns in lobsters and both were more similar to those in the goat fed Aroclor 1254 as demonstrated by both pattern recognition techniques. However, patterns observed in humans, lobsters and bluefish all exhibited some presence of PCBs more characteristic of Aroclors 1016 and/or 1242 or 1260. |
