“…The Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework and the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram of the scoping review of PCB levels in foods are in Table S16 and Figure S4, respectively. The search string and the list of articles can be found in Saktrakulkla et al (2020) …”

“…127 PCB congeners (as 103 peaks) out of 205 PCB congeners (as 171 peaks) were detected in the foods in this study. The individual PCB congener concentrations can be found in Supporting Information, Table S10, and the full data set including associated metadata can be found in Saktrakulkla et al (2020) . Our study was designed to reduce the uncertainty in the analytical measurements but was not designed to assess PCBs in all foods or PCB variability in different items.…”

We measured the concentrations of 205 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in 26 food items: beef steak, butter, canned tuna, catfish, cheese, eggs, french fries, fried chicken, ground beef, ground pork, hamburger, hot dog, ice cream, liver, luncheon meat, margarine, meat-free dinner, milk, pizza, poultry, salmon, sausage, shrimp, sliced ham, tilapia, and vegetable oil. Using Diet History Questionnaire II, we calculated the PCB dietary exposure in mothers and children participating in the AESOP Study in East Chicago, Indiana, and Columbus Junction, Iowa. Salmon had the highest concentration followed by canned tuna, but fish is a minor contributor to exposure. Other animal proteins are more important sources of PCB dietary exposure in this study population. Despite the inclusion of few congeners and food types in previous studies, we found evidence of a decline in PCB concentrations over the last 20 years. We also found strong associations of PCB congener distributions with Aroclors in most foods and found manufacturing by-product PCBs, including PCB11, in tilapia and catfish. The reduction in PCB levels in food indicates that dietary exposure is comparable to PCB inhalation exposures reported for the same study population.
