Polychlorinated Biphenyl Resources

The following information is made available to increase the awareness of persons subject to the PCB Regulations. PCB related activities and information (other than regulatory) have not changed since these documents were produced. These publications contain general information which could still be useful.  In case of discrepancies on regulatory requirements concerning PCBs, the PCB Regulations will prevail.
