Congener-Specific Emissions from Floors and Walls Characterize Indoor Airborne Polychlorinated Biphenyls

Moala K. Bannavti et al.

Summary: In order to reconcile federal and state regulations for PCB concentrations, the relationship between surface emissions and airborne concentrations needs to be characterized. We found that PCB emissions from flooring materials accurately predicted the magnitude and distribution of PCBs in room air.

Room-to-Room Variability of Airborne Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Schools and the Application of Air Sampling for Targeted Source Evaluation

Moala K. Bannavti et al.

Summary: The study reveals that airborne PCB concentrations in schools are higher indoors than outdoors, originating from different sources. There are variations in concentration and congener profiles among different rooms, with higher levels found in older wing of the building. The congener distributions suggest both historical and modern sources of PCBs.
