| Abstract | The committee provided EPA with a detailed assessment of the nature of the problems of PCBs and of alternatives for reducing the current substantial level of environmental contamination from PCBs. The committee developed a model of PCB distribution throughout the environment with estimates of current reservoir burdens, analyzed the economic impact of various control options, and used PCB data as the test case, to assess the effectiveness of the proposed EPA testing guidelines for evaluating toxic substances. |
