## Abstract Urinary porphyrin excretion was investigated in 67 workers occupationally exposed to commercial mixtures of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by determining the concentration of uro‐, hepta‐, hexa‐, penta‐, and coproporphyrin homologues. The workers had a mean blood PCB concentration of
Unusually high levels of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were detected in the air and in sera of volunteers of a village located in the vicinity of an organochlorinated-compounds factory (Flix, Catalonia, Spain). A significant increase for specific causes of
