Promising research in low-cost detoxification of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in electric transformers and transfer fluids is reported by the Franklin Research Center, which uses a dispersion of molten sodium metal in polyethylene glycols, and by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., which uses sodium napthalide to change PCBs to common table salt. Chemical disposal is preferred over high-temperature incineration because it produces relatively harmless by-products and it eliminates hazardous PCB transportation and expensive incineration. (DCK)
