For a growing number of companies, PCB is not a toxic waste issue but a source of new business.
New York state limits PCB fishing as the federal government tightens rules on disposal
With the continuous development of PCB detectors, processors and storage devices, stripe bass is also emerging.
At least 30 companies produce equipment to find, destroy or replace PCB-
PCBs.
They include small businesses such as GE, Westinghouse and PPM. in Tucker, Ga.
A company named after millions of phrases.
Almost all of them are selling new technologies.
Over the next 10 to 20 years, millions of Transformers, capacitors, electrical appliances and yard soil containing PCB must be found and discarded safely.
Total potential revenue is estimated at billions of dollars.
\"No matter where there is money, people will go after it,\" said Narain Hingorani, director of the PCB program at the Power Research Institute, funded by the power utilities industry.
The institute has promoted a variety of new PCB technologies and licensed one of its own products to detect PCB cheaply.
Advertising is very common.
In the snow in the Arctic, in human breast milk, they are found in the flesh of many coastal fish and creatures around the world.
PCB was first sold in 1929
Close relatives of pesticide DDT
Used as stabilizer in printing ink, paint, plastic, adhesive; as lubricants;
As an insulating material and coolant in electrical equipment, as well as flame retardant material.
About 0. 5 billion of PCB has been discarded;
In electronic devices, such as ballasts contained in fluorescent lamps, another 0. 75 billion pounds are still present.
In 1976, us pcb manufacturers were banned from advertising because it was found that this chemical could cause cancer in experimental animals, as well as liver damage and skin problems in humans. By Oct.

About 150,000 transformers are known to contain a large number of PCB.
In addition, of the 10% large transformers, about 35 million of the Transformers and the third of the 8 million non-household capacitors are considered to contain a small but large number of PCB in mineral oil.
