Polychlorinated biphenyls

Abstract

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their contaminants have definite ocular and dermatologic side effects, often directly related to the serum level of these compounds. These are usually the first symptoms and signs to appear. Other side effects are far more variable, and the carcinogenic role of PCBs and their contaminants remains controversial.
