PCBs are produced by chlorination of biphenyl; its commercial production started about 60 years ago. The total amount produced world-wide is estimated at 1.5 million tons
Depending on the degree of chlorination of the PCBs, their physico-chemical properties, like inflammability or electric conductivity, brought about a wide field of application. Thus, PCBs have been used as electric fluids in transformers and capacitors, as pesticide extenders, adhesives, dedusting agents, cutting oils, flame retardants, heat transfer fluids, hydraulic lubricants, sealants, paints, and in carbonless copy paper. Some of their applications resulted in a direct or indirect release of PCBs into the environment. Relatively large amounts were released due to inappropriate disposal practices, accidents and leakages from industrial facilities. EnviroWorx™ High Performance Solutions provide methods suitable to remove PCB's from metal, concrete, rubber, plastic, wood, and oil.
