An investigation produced no "correlation" with PCB exposure. But Mobil Oil apparently found such a correlation in PCB workers at its Paulsboro, N.J. plant, says NIOSH. Other HPI companies--processing other products--face similar problems. They're investigating and ad justing accordingly (see January issue, pages 213-226).^' MONS 00101b
