Summary:

Assessing health outcomes associated with exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is important given their persistent and ubiquitous nature. PCBs are classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, but the full range of noncancer health effects that could result from exposure to PCBs has not been systematically summarized and evaluated. This review compiles and organizes human and other mammalian studies of noncancer health endpoints measured with exposure to PCB mixtures to identify areas of robust research, as well as areas of uncertainty and research needs.
