Polychlorinated biphenyls Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) have no known natural sources. They have been used as electrical insulators and also as coolants and lubricants. They are toxic and can accumulate in the food chain because they do not break down readily. They can travel long distances by air. Almost everyone has been environmentally exposed and has low levels in their body. The manufacture of PCB's was stopped in the U. S. in 1977. Products made before that time that may contain PCB's are fluorescent lighting fixtures and electrical devices containing PCB capacitors.
Sulfur Dioxide Sulfur dioxide is a colorless gas released by burning sulfur or heating metal sulfides in air. It is used in the manufacture of special glass, textile processing and as a preservative in wood and pulp. It is also used as a solvent in chemical textile, photography, metal and rubber industries. It is used as a refrigerant in commercial refrigerators. Three parts per million has an easily noticeable odor. The OSHA PEL is 5 ppm over an eight hour period.
Volatile Organic Compounds Compounds containing carbon atoms are called organic compounds. Volatile compounds are easily released into the air. Volatile organic compounds (VOC's) are released into the air from burning fuel. Car exhausts are an important source of VOC's. They are also released from paint, solvents, and cleaning products as well as many other common household products and furnishings. The indoor levels are usually higher than outdoor levels.
