Abstract: The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) funded the 2005-2007 Anniston Community Health Survey (ACHS) and found serum PCB levels among Anniston participants three-to-seven-fold higher than among the general U.S. population. PCBs were also positively associated with hypertension, elevated blood pressure, and diabetes in select cohort subgroups. Researchers from ATSDR and National Institutes of Health (NIH) plan to conduct a follow-up to the original ACHS, called the ACHS-II. For this follow-up study, a sample of 500 participants will be enrolled from the original ACHS cohort. The major goal of the ACHS-II is to obtain repeated measures of PCBs and health outcomes, five to seven years after baseline, identical to the original ACHS and to complement those with the measurements of dioxin-like coplanar PCB congeners, dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and heavy metals not measured before in this population.
