Abstract
⺠We model in humans: prenatal PCB exposures and thyroid hormones (TH) and prenatal TH and childhood IQ. ⺠We compare the combination of the two relationships with models of prenatal PCB exposures and childhood IQ. ⺠PCBs are associated with decreasing TH and decreasing IQ, some confidence intervals include 0. ⺠PCBs and thyroid hormones plus thyroid hormones and IQ estimate PCBs and IQ.
