PCBs: US EPA Provides Guide on PCBs in Caulk

This past week, the US Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") provided issued guidance documents to building owners and school administrators aimed at reducing exposure to PCBs that may be found in caulk in buildings constructed or renovated between 1950 and 1978. The EPA also stated that it was undertaking new research on the risks associated with caulk containing PCBs, which would enable the EPA to make further recommendations regarding long-term management of the issue.
