The PCB Residue Effects (PCBRes) Database was developed to assist scientists and risk assessors in correlating PCB and dioxin-like compound residues with toxic effects. The purpose is to develop PCB critical residue values for fish, mammals and birds, especially as these relate to aquatic and aquatic-dependent species.

Analytical and field sampling data for each 2018-2019 NRSA Fish Tissue Study chemical contaminant are provided, along with a data dictionary that describes the contents of each data file. All results for the fillet tissue concentrations are reported on a wet weight basis. All the fish fillet samples analyzed contained detectable levels of mercury and PCBs, and PFAS were detected in 95% of the fillet samples. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Stahl, L., B.D. Snyder, H.B. McCarty, T. Kincaid, A. Olsen, T.R. Cohen, and J. Healey. Contaminants in Fish from U.S. Rivers: Probability-Based National Assessments. SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 861(25): 160557, (2023).

The Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Transformer Registration Database tracks geographic and dated information of registered PCB transformers.

Fish biometric data and fish tissue data (total PCB concentration, lipid content, carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios) associated with the study "Incorporating habitat use and life history to predict PCBs residues in fish" by Hoffman et al. Sediment data (total PCB concentration, carbon content) can be found in the NOAA DIVER data portal and the link is included. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Hoffman, J., T. Hollenhorst, G. Peterson, J. Launspach, E. Coffman, and L. Burkhard. Incorporating habitat use and life history to predict PCB residues in wild fish in an urban estuary. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 209: 117271, (2024).

Data set resulting from a targeted literature review of PCB concentrations in environmental media, as well as of total PCB dietary intake. Table S1 shows all studies that underwent full-text review (Figure 1). Table S2 shows all included studies and resulting PCB exposure estimates (used to generate Figures 2-4). Table S3 provides the data and analysis used to examine the effect of congener number on diet studies. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Weitekamp, C., L. Phillips, L. Carlson, N. DeLuca, E. Hubal, and G. Lehmann. A state-of-the-science review of polychlorinated biphenyl exposures at background levels: relative contributions of exposure routes.
