Description:

Two building decontamination technologies were demonstrated and evaluated: a method for in situ degradation of PCB's requiring application of an alkali metal/polyethylene glycolate mixture directly on concrete surfaces; and a shotblasting technique using steel shot to cut away concrete surfaces. Costs of large-scale implementation of each of the two techniques were calculated and compared.
