Additional Information and Research on Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Contamination and Mitigation in Buildings

EPA conducted research to address several unresolved scientific questions that help to assess the magnitude of problems surrounding PCBs in school buildings, and to identify the best long-term solutions. The results of this research will be used to provide further guidance.
