Past animal and human studies have shown that exposure to PCBs can result in a wide range of negative toxic effects.

The community is concerned because PCBs from industrial effluent have contaminated the local ecology and entered the Mohawk's food chain.

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

This study sought to generate a base of literature pertaining to parent historical experiences with bullying. Specifically, parent history of bullying was examined as a predictor of current perceptions, level of concern, and strategies used to prevent and intervene with bullying for middle school students. Parents from a public school district in the Northeast were invited to complete an online survey through letters distributed to their student and media-based announcements. Two-hundred-sixty participants provided viable responses. A series of hierarchical regression analyses were used to determine if parent history of involvement in bullying was predictive of their current responses to bullying.

Family structure, race/ethnicity, family socioeconomic …
