[Eni] PCB's in Caulk

[Eric Turner]

        PCBs IN CAULK...SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED?

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced a series 
of steps that building owners and school administrators should take to 
reduce exposure to PCBs that may be found in caulk in many buildings 
constructed or renovated between 1950 and 1978.

EPA recommends testing peeling, brittle, cracking or deteriorating caulk 
for the presence of PCBs and removing the caulk if PCBs are present at 
significant levels.

EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson commented that "PCBs have been banned 
for the last 30 years for most uses, but unfortunately, high levels of 
PCBs are present in many buildings and facilities constructed prior to 
the PCB ban, including most recently some schools. We're concerned about 
the potential risks associated with exposure to these PCBs and we're 
recommending practical, common-sense steps to reduce this exposure as we 
improve our understanding of the science."

The EPA has created a Web site, www.epa.gov/pcbsincaulk 
<http://www.epa.gov/pcbsincaulk>, with updated information on this 
issue. Concerned parties can also call an EPA hotline toll free at 
1-888-835-5372.
