Table 2 Evaluation of experimental animal studies and semen quality and additional male reproductive endpoints after treatment with PCBs

From: Systematic review of associations of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure with declining semen quality in support of the derivation of reference doses for mixture risk assessments

  1. Colours: Key appraisal elements – Dark green: definitely low risk; light green: probably low risk; light red: probably high; dark red: definitely low risk (note that all elements were definitely or probably low risk). Study outcomes – Grey: admitted as evidence, but not considered for derivation of a reference dose
