    • Description:
      In 2001, an Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Exposure Investigation (EI) evaluated polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels in the blood of certain persons living near a former PCB production facility in Anniston, Alabama [1,2]. In response to questions and concerns from Anniston-area residents, ATSDR provides here a health consultation containing an updated evaluation of the EI findings. The updated evaluation is based on comparisons with newer data from the “Second National Report on Human Exposures to Environmental Chemicals” (SR) [3] that were unavailable at the time of the original report’s release. It also uses the contemporary reference values from the SR to estimate the number of participants in the EI with unusual exposures to PCBs. The utility of the data and the rationale for their use as a screening tool are demonstrated, and additional advancements that would further aid such screening assessments are discussed.
