What
is PCB?
PCB is short for polychlorinated biphenyl. This material was
banned in 1976 due to evidence that it was the cause of several serious health
issues. However, by the time it had been deemed a hazardous material, it had
already been used in construction and various household products for over fifty
years.
PCB can be found in a variety of places around the home and
in an industrial or commercial building.One of the largest controversies
surrounding PCB was its extensive use in sealants, paints and caulking which
exposed young children to its harmful effects.
