During the summer of 1979, residents in this eastern Massachusetts town became concerned an apparent cluster of six leukemia cases, diagnosed since 1969 in children of families living in a 6-block area in the southeastern portion of the town (1970 total population 37,067). The cluster was reported to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) and to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) both by local citizens and a Boston physician. Concern was also expressed regarding other cancers, especially kidney cancer. An assessment of town-specific cancer mortality rates made independently by MDPH at about the same time for the 1969-1978 decade in Massachusetts showed statistically significant elevations in Woburn for all cancers, as well as for several specific kinds of cancer.

Mean PCB blood levels were <10 ppb. A significant association between increased diastolic blood pressure and serum PCB levels was observed, but the association failed to achieve statistical significance (p=0.08) when possible confounding effects of both age and smoking were controlled. There was no association between elevated systolic or diastolic blood pressure and serum levels of PCBs in 840 residents of New Bedford, Massachusetts, who were exposed via consumption of contaminated fish (Massachusetts Department of Public Health 1987). However, most subjects in this study had serum PCB levels that were within the typical range of the U.S. population.
