About article:
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are stable organic substances that are formed by chlorinating biphenyls and used as insulating fluids in transformers and condensers, in lubricants, plasticizers, paints, adhesives or seals. After contact with living organisms from sources of pollution of soil and water, they cause weakening of the immune system and damage to vital organs. Such ecological burdens have arisen as a result of the production of PCBs in industrial plants in different places of the world in 30-years of 20th century. This paper includes basic physico-chemical properties of PCBs, environment contamination, health risks and possibilities of PCBs degradation.e
