Title: Proceedings: 1983 PCB seminar

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6588772

The 1983 EPRI PCB Seminar was held in Atlanta, Georgia on December 6-8, 1983. It was sponsored by EPRI's interdivisional PCB Task Force. It presented utility workers with existing and emerging technologies for lower cost compliance with EPA rules and PCB environmental concerns. The papers in this proceedings are divided into topics as follows: Background; Detection and Analysis of PCBs; Retrofill; Spill Cleanup and Bio-Degradation; PCB Destruction; PCB Fires and PCDF; and Decontamination of Mineral Oil. Technology in some of these areas such as Analysis, PCB Destruction, and Decontamination of Mineral Oil, is maturing. However, other critical topics lacking information, such as polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) formation, spill clean up, and replacement fluids, have arisen to replace them.
