Abstract

A fifth PCB workshop, entitled, “New Knowledge Gained from Old Pollutants”, was held on May 18–22, 2008 in Iowa City, IA, the home of the University of Iowa Superfund Basic Research Program. Over 140 scientists from many disciplines, concerned with the physical and chemical as well as the biomedical aspects of PCBs with respect to their detection, movement, metabolism, toxicity, remediation and risk assessment participated in the workshop. A primary objective of the 2008 workshop was to bring these scientists together in one location to facilitate interactions and the exchange of information. A second major goal of this workshop was to compile and present the very latest findings related to the chemistry and biology of PCBs and their risk to human health. This special issue is one such effort.
