Diabetes Prevalence in Relation to Serum Concentrations of Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Congener Groups and Three Chlorinated Pesticides in a Native American Population

Conclusion: The associations with diabetes after adjustment for other POPs were strongest with the more volatile, non-dioxin-like, low chlorinated PCB congeners and HCB. Because low chlorined congeners are more volatile these observations suggest that inhalation of vapor-phase PCBs is an important route of exposure.
