Abstract
HERE we report preliminary results on the presence of hexa-chlorobenzene (HCB) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in addition to dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT), dieldrin (HEOD), heptachlor epoxide (HE) and the three isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (α,γ,β-HCCH) in Japanese autopsy adipose tissue. A total of 241 samples were taken at the Aichi Cancer Center Research Institute, Chikusa-Ka Nagoya, Japan.
