About the event
Emory University and Brunswick-based partners tested the blood of 100 Glynn County residents to determine if local exposures to contaminants are higher than the general US population. The results found that local residents had higher than average levels of highly chlorinated PCBs, which are known contaminants in Brunswick’s rivers, fish, and marshes. A substantial number of participants have PCB levels above the US 95th percentile. Participants and other residents may seek advice from their healthcare providers about this chemical exposure.
