[Kinetics of PCBs in a population of 27 exposed individuals].

Because of the casual assumption of PCBs through contaminated foods produced by the family farm (meat, milk and by-product), 27 subjects (14 female and 13 male), whit a mean age of about 31 years (range 2-77), were submitted to a medical check-up. The results confirm the exposure of all the patients, related to the intake-level of contaminated foods, and the presence of a correlation between the age and plasmatic levels of PCBs, about which the authors discuss the possible reasons.
