Trichloroethylene was reported together with the radionuclides of cesium, cobalt, and strontium at Brookhaven National Laboratory and INEEL sites. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were reported together with the radionuclides of cesium, cobalt, and strontium at Oak Ridge and INEEL sites. The purposes of this profile are: (1) to evaluate data (if available) on health hazards, and their dose-response relationships, from oral exposure to this five-component mixture; (2) to evaluate data on the joint toxic actions of components of this mixture; and (3) to make recommendations for exposure-based assessments of the potential impact of joint toxic action of the mixture on public health."--Page ix.
