Research Projects
The multidisciplinary connections of the Research Projects
are shown in Figure II.
Overall, the exchange of expertise, samples and data among the six Research
Projects of the isbrp as well as the thematic connections will help us
to answer several questions, such as: Where are sources of airborne PCBs?
What are the levels of human exposures to these types of PCBs? What are
the potential roles of metabolism in biological responses to semi-volatile
PCBs? What are the human health effects? How can we remediate PCB contaminated
sites?
