A survey was conducted to assess the degree of environmental contamination with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) and polychlorinated terphenyls (PCT’s) in the vicinity of the single U.S. manufacturing facility in Sauget, Ill., and two users in the investment casting industry located in urban Chicago and suburban Detroit. PCB concentrations were found in soils as high as 18 ppm near the manufacturer and 5.2 ppm near one of the users. PCT’s were detected as high as 13 ppm in the vicinity of one user facility. The distribution of PCB’s and PCT’s suggested an airborne mode of transport from the source. Analysis of wastewaters indicated the discharge of PCB’s and PCT’s in the μg/l. level.
