SERUM PCDD, PCDF AND PCB LEVELS IN FIREFIGHTERS OF SHELEKHOV COHORT 17 YEARS AFTER THE FIRE AT IRKUTSKCABLE FACTORY
This paper reports serum PCDD/PCDF and PCB levels among the Irkutskcable factory firefighters 17 years after the catastrophic fire incident. In this random sampling of 20 firefighters from the cohort of 165, none had TEQ exceeding 100 pg/g of lipids. When compared to men who are currently working as firefighters, serum dioxin concentrations in the firefighters who participated in the 1992 event shows smoothing and significant differences in overall congener profiles were not found. However, groups exhibited some differences in the concentrations of certain combustion markers such as 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDF. The groups did not exhibit differences in PCB levels and their profiles. Future studies will compare the firefighters serum PCDD/PCDF and PCB concentrations to similar males who have not worked as firefighters in order to assess the relative contribution of environmental and occupational sources.
