Course Summary
There is a great deal of knowledge and experience in the environmental, building services, and demolition industry regarding lead paint. However, many practitioners and property owners are not aware of the potential risks and prevalence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in building materials -- especially paint. This presentation will provide an overview of what we know about PCBs in paint and how common it may be, as well as the current regulatory landscape - which was recently updated with the EPA's release of new guidance in May 2021. A brief review of Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations and implications will be covered. Professionals who have unknown sources of PCBs at their sites may wish to learn about how GZA can identify PCBs in paint. Might PCBs become the new lead paint?
