PCB metabolism in rats following prolonged exposure to Aroclor 1242 and aroclor 1016.
Several mono- and dihydroxy metabolites of di-, tri, and tetrachlorobiphenyl have been identified in the urine of rats fed prolonged diets of Aroclor 1016 or Aroclor 1242. Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used for characterization of the metabolic products.
