TLDR
Distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in sewage wastes at a municipal sewage treatment plant was studied, showing that the great bulk of PCBs entering such a treatment plant become adsorbed onto the grit chamber solids and the sludge that is passed from the anaerobic digesters.About:

PCBs and PAHs in the Montreal urban community (Quebec, Canada) wastewater treatment plant and in the effluent plume in the St. Lawrence River
Thanh-Thao Pham,Suzie Proulx +1 more
TL;DR: The average concentrations of Σ13 PCBs in raw wastewater and treated wastewater were 4.3 and 1.4 ng/l, respectively, for PAHs, while the average concentrations for raw wastewater were 1.5 and 0.4 μg/l respectively as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Serum PCB concentrations were positively and significantly correlated with glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and plasma triglyceride, and inversely correlated with plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and these correlations were present across all study sites.

Residual effects of short-term, low-level exposure of nonhuman primates to polychlorinated biphenyls.
TL;DR: The data attest to the toxicity of short-term, low-level exposure to PCBs in nonhuman primates and to the persistence of the toxic effects long after exposure has been eliminated.
