What Are PCBs?

Polychlorinated Biphenyls, or PCBs, are a group of manufactured organic chemicals comprised of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms. PCBs have no taste or smell and range in consistency from an oil to a waxy solid. Recent testing at North Carolina State University’s Poe Hall revealed the presence of these harmful contaminants. They were commonly used in hundreds of commercial and industrial settings, including:

Electrical, heat transfer, and hydraulic equipment as coolants and lubricants
Plasticizers in paints, plastics, and rubber products
Formulation of pigments, dyes, and carbonless copy paper
Other industrial applications

PCBs were eventually banned in 1977 due to adverse health effects, including the following:

Irritation of the nose and lungs
Gastrointestinal discomfort
Rashes
Liver ailments
Depression
Fatigue

Long-term health effects from exposure to PCBs include:

Cancer
Non-Cancer Effects
Immune Effects
Reproductive Effects
Neurological Effects
Endocrine Effects
Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)

We have represented thousands of clients in our 45 years.
