New York CityThe Environmental Protection Agency and New York City are developing a program to address potentially hazardous PCBs in school construction materials.
PCBs are chemicals that were widely used in caulk and other building materials until they were banned in the late 1970s. They can harm the immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems and can cause cancer if they build up in the body over long periods of time.
Under an agreement announced Tuesday, New York will conduct a pilot program in five schools to determine how best to minimize exposure to PCB-contaminated caulk. The goal is to develop an abatement protocol that can serve as a model for school systems across the country.
New York City's public school system is the nation's largest with 1.1 million pupils and 1,600 schools.
