An update on polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is presented. The electric utility industry's efforts to comply with EPA's PCB rules continue unabated. But just when the industry seemed to have the PCB problem under control, another problem developed: toxic emissions from PCB transformer fires. Currently the nations firefighters, health officials, and building authorities are asking the utilities to resolve this new problem. Efforts to solve the problem are described.
