PCB in caulk and other coatings - Tri-Tech testing services
The Presence of PCBs in Building Materials
When it comes to building materials, one of the hidden risks that many people are unaware of is the presence of Polychlorinated Biphenyls, commonly known as PCBs. PCBs were widely used in a variety of applications before their detrimental effects on human health and the environment were discovered. Unfortunately, buildings constructed before the ban on PCBs may still contain materials that were manufactured with these hazardous chemicals.
The Potential Dangers of PCBs
PCBs are classified as persistent organic pollutants and are known to have harmful effects on both humans and the environment. Prolonged exposure to PCBs can lead to various health issues, including developmental problems, reproductive disorders, and even certain types of cancer. It is crucial to identify and mitigate the presence of PCBs in building materials to ensure the safety and well-being of occupants.
