A potential for occupational exposure to PCBs exists within the electrical utility industry, especially where PCB-containing equipment has been serviced. PCBs can also be found at hazardous waste sites, in sewage sludge, and in soot from transformer fires. The health effects, biological monitoring, and medical surveillance of PCBs are all discussed in this review.
