PCBs
(OP)
We have a military base near to me where
they want to burn the buildings that were
painted with high levels of PCBs and they
know that these will turn into dioxins but
the nearest homes are two miles away.
Should I be concerned. They claim this is
a test and want to burn the other buildings
at the arsenal.

RE: PCBs
I would think the state and federal environmental authorities would havea great deal to say about this, none of which might be to the liking of base personnel!
Out of curiosity, which arsenal are you referring to?

PCBs were probably too expensive to be used in paint for base housing.

was typical at the time and someone had
a heavy brush. Because there are residual
explosives in the building they also must
have a high temperature burn. They have
lost lives at other sites when trying
to diassemble similar buildings thus the
reason to try another method. They want
to monitor this as a test site.
