Abstract:
The Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) manufactured in Anniston, Alabama, from 1929 to 1971 caused significant environmental contamination. The Anniston population remains one of the most highly exposed in the world.
Due to reports of increased diabetes in PCB-exposed populations, this prompted researchers to examine possible associations in Anniston residents.
