Abstract
Human adipose tissue samples obtained during autopsies in 5 Canadian municipalities within the Great Lakes basin were analysed for coplanar PCB congeners #77, #126 and #169 using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The mean residue levels for male and female donors in each municipality for congeners #126 and #169 were comparable with previously reported Japanese data but were higher than limited results from North America. Significant differences in congener residue levels between municipalities were seldom detected, however, residue levels for congener #126 were significantly higher in females compared to males.
