Polychlorinated biphenyls, liquid

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are organochlorine compounds with the formula C12H10−xClx. They were once widely used in a range of industrial and consumer electronic products including the manufacture of carbonless copy paper, as heat transfer fluids, and as dielectric and coolant fluids for electrical equipment. Some of them are highly toxic and have been classified as carcinogens. This has led to production being banned internationally by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001 Wikipedia

Please be careful with the information, as necessary, additional conditions may be applied that are not written here. Please check the original source and report bugs. 9 Packaging for certain PCBs for disposal and storage is prescribed by EPA in 40 CFR 761.60 and 761.65. Browse special provision 9 81 Polychlorinated biphenyl items, as defined in 40 CFR 761.3, for which specification packagings are impractical, may be packaged in non-specification packagings meeting the general packaging requirements of subparts A and B of part 173 of this subchapter. Alternatively, the item itself may be used as a packaging if it meets the general packaging requirements of subparts A and B of part 173 of this subchapter. Browse special provision 81 140 This material is regulated only when it meets the defining criteria for a hazardous substance or a marine pollutant. In addition, the column 5 reference is modified to read “III” on those occasions when this material is offered for transportation or transported by highway or rail.
