dc.descriptionPolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were discovered before the turn of the century and their usefulness for industry, because of their physical properties, was recognized early. The PCBs have been used commercially, since 1930, as dielectric and heat-exchange fluids and in a variety of other applications.
