Since 1966, it has been found that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are widely distributed in global ecosystems (RISEBROUGH et al. 1968, JENSEN et al. 1969). The PCB levels and their gas chromatographic patterns in human adipose tissue and blood have been demonstrated (JENSEN and SUNDSTROM 1974, MASUDA et al. 1974). In the present study, we examined the change of PCB levels and patterns in the human blood following intake of the fishes contaminated by PCBs.
