• Description: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are one of the most widely studied environmental contaminants, and many studies in animals and human populations have been performed to assess the potential carcinogenicity of PCBs. PCBs are mixtures of up to 209 individual chlorinated compounds (known as congeners or chlorinated hydrocarbons), which are no longer produced in the United States, but are still found in the environment. Exposure to PCBs includes acne-like skin conditions in adults and neurobehavioral and immune alterations in children. PCBs are carcinogenic to animals, and they have been found in at least 500 of the 1598 National Priorities List sites identified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). PCBs (US trade name Aroclor) have no known natural sources, are either oily liquids or solids that are colorless to light yellow, and can exist as a vapor in air. PCBs typically do not exhibit any smell or taste. The US Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was enacted by the US Congress to control the distribution, use, and disposal of harmful chemicals, including PCBs. PCBs have been demonstrated to cause a variety of adverse health effects. Studies in humans provide supportive evidence for potential carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic effects of PCBs, and based on the weight of the data, it is suggested that PCBs are probable human carcinogens.
• Uses: Before 1974, PCBs were used in the United States for both enclosed applications, such as transformers, capacitors, and heat transfer and hydraulic fluids, and open applications, such as inks, flame retardants, adhesives, carbonless duplicating paper, paints, plasticizers, wire insulators, metal coatings, and pesticide extenders (IARC 1978, ATSDR 2000). After 1974, all uses of PCBs were limited to enclosed applications (transformers and capacitors), and after January 1979, no PCBs were used in the manufacturing of transformers or capacitors. The only remaining permitted uses of PCBs are as a mounting medium in microscopy, as an immersion oil in low-fluorescence microscopy, as an optical liquid, and for other research and development purposes (ATSDR 2000). PCBs were used as coolants, lubricants, and insulators in electrical capacitors, electrical transformers, vacuum pumps, and gas transmission turbines. They have also been used as hydraulic fluids, plasticizers, adhesives, fire retardants in plastics, wax extenders, lubricants and cutting oils, inks, and cleaning agents. PCBs were banned from production internationally in the late 1970s, but are still widespread as contaminants in the environment. They are also produced unintentionally in the production of organic chlorinated herbicides, bleaching of papers, in the incineration of wastes, and in industrial and thermal processes involving chlorine and chlorinated chemicals.
