An overview of PCBs and their current status in British Columbia / by C.L. Garrett.: En40-240/83-16E-PDF
"This report has been prepared to provide a summary of the current status of PCBs in British Columbia. A general overview of PCBs is provided in order to allow the reader to put the British Columbia data into the proper perspective. The main objectives of this report were to: identify current uses of PCBs in British Columbia and potential sources of release to the environment; assess the potential for environmental impacts as a result of these releases; document available information on PCB levels in the British Columbia environment and compare these levels to those reported for other areas of the world; and, identify localized areas of particularly high concentrations. Much of the data included were obtained through Environmental Protection Service monitoring and industrial surveys. Published and unpublished data were also obtained from other federal and provincial government agencies, environmental consultants and research organizations"--Abstract, page i.
