PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, are a group of industrial chemicals used in a variety of consumer products, including consumer electronics, paints, plastics, rubbers and dyes. Commercial brand names for PCB mixtures include Aroclor and Pyranol. PCBs were banned by Congress in 1976, but because they do not break down naturally, they can persist in the environment for centuries. When PCBs are concentrated in water, humans risk exposure from drinking water and eating fish, meat and dairy products. Potential exposure risks in the home include use of florescent lights and electronic capacitors made before 1977. PCBs are classified by the EPA as a probable carcinogen in humans; other health effects of PCB exposure include skin rashes, immune deficiency, impaired neurological development and birth defects.
