Abstract: EPA provides various paths for the public to access information about PCBs. On this website, you may access information on the health effects of PCBs. If you would like to learn more about the laws and regulations that govern PCBs, EPA maintains a listing of the laws and regulations applicable to PCBs. If you have a question about the PCB regulations, EPA has developed interpretive guidance in the format of question and answer documents. EPA maintains lists of approved companies that handle PCB wastes. This lists include: storage and disposal companies, alternative decontamination procedures and scrap metal recovery ovens. EPA also maintains two databases - PCB Activity Database (PADS) and Transformer Registration and applicable forms.
