Measurement of fugitive atmospheric emissions of polychlorinated biphenyls from hazardous waste landfills

Four landfills known to contain large quantities of PCBs were monitored for atmospheric emissions. Three landfills were uncontrolled and contained electrical capacitors; the other was a state of the art PCB landfill designed to exceed requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 for PCB...

Zusammenfassung:	Four landfills known to contain large quantities of PCBs were monitored for atmospheric emissions. Three landfills were uncontrolled and contained electrical capacitors; the other was a state of the art PCB landfill designed to exceed requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 for PCB disposal. High atmospheric PCB concentrations were measured at the uncontrolled sites, while air levels were at or near background at the specially designed landfill.
