Aroclor 1254 is a commercial mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which is defined as being 54% chlorine by weight. However, the congener composition varies from lot to lot. Two lots which have been used in toxicity studies, 124-191 and 6024 (AccuStandard), were analyzed for their congener composition. Lot 6024 has approximately 10 times the dioxin toxic equivalents (TEQ) of lot 124-191. The purpose of this study was to determine if the difference in the TEQ of the two lots ...
