Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and associated chemicals in avian tissues collected along the Snow Creek and Choccolocco Creek riparian corridors downstream of the former PCB manufacturing facility, and a reference site, near Anniston,
May 18, 2026
These data are comprised of measured concentrations of PCBs, polychlorinate dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), Pb, and Hg, and percent lipid and moisture, in avian tissue samples (egg contents, nestlings, egg shells) collected from the Snow Creek and Choccolocco Creek watersheds downstream of the former PCB facility in Anniston, Alabama, USA. The nearby Talladega National Forest, which has not received PCB wastes, was used as a reference site. Samples were collected in calendar years 2014 and 2015.
