Literature Review of Remediation Methods for Pcbs in Buildings EPA/600/R-12/034 January 2012 LITERATURE REVIEW OF REMEDIATION METHODS FOR PCBS IN BUILDINGS by Environmental Health & Engineering, Inc. Needham, Massachusetts Contract No. EP-C-10-043 for Zhishi Guo Project Officer Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division National Risk Management Research Laboratory Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 National Risk Management Research Laboratory Office of Research and Development U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Cincinnati, OH 45268 Disclaimer The work reported in this document was funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Contract No. EP-C-10-043 to Environmental Health & Engineering, Inc. It has been subjected to the Agency’s peer and administrative reviews and has been approved for publication as an EPA document. Any opinions expressed in this report are those of the author(s) and do not, necessarily, reflect the official positions and policies of the EPA. Any mention of products or trade names does not constitute recommendation for use by the EPA. ii Abstract Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) had numerous commercial applications before they were banned in the U.S. in 1978. Those uses included the addition of PCBs to building construction materials, such as adhesives, paint, and particularly caulk used to seal components of a building envelope. Growing awareness of this issue has led to an increase in the need to demonstrate compliance with current regulations for PCBs within buildings. This literature review contains a description and analysis of existing methods for management of PCBs in construction materials. Information on the strengths and limitations, efficacy, cost, and byproducts of each remediation method is presented, where available. The report is based upon a comprehensive review and synthesis of conference proceedings, and technical reports by government and commercial organizations. Numerous methods for abatement, i.e., reducing the amount of PCBs in building materials, and mitigation, i.e., limiting the release of PCBs from building materials, are described in the literature. The abatement techniques involve removal of PCB-containing materials with mechanical or hand tools, or application of chemicals intended to either extract or degrade PCBs. Techniques for mitigation of PCB impacts in buildings involve engineering controls such as encapsulation and ventilation that limit PCB levels in occupied parts of a building. Mitigation was also achieved through administrative controls, which were typically guided by a site-specific assessment of risk, and included reassignment of space use and implementation of an operation and maintenance plan for building-related PCBs. Abatement through removal of PCB-containing materials and numerous mitigation methods were generally reported to be effective for attaining compliance with current PCB regulations, The efficacy of chemical degradation and extraction techniques for PCB concentrations encountered in caulk and other products manufactured with PCBs has not yet been demonstrated in the literature. Most reports indicate that the greatest control of PCBs in building materials is obtained when multiple remediation methods are employed. The selection of remediation methods for a particular building should be determined on a case by case basis. The costs of managing PCB-containing building materials can be substantial, an observation that underscores the importance of understanding site-specific conditions, establishing practical remediation goals, and selecting the most appropriate remediation methods. iii Foreword The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged by Congress with protecting the Nation’s land, air, and water resources. Under a mandate of national environmental laws, the Agency strives to formulate and implement actions leading to a compatible balance between human activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. To meet this mandate, EPA’s research program is providing data and technical support for solving environmental problems today and building a science knowledge base necessary to manage our ecological resources wisely, understand how pollutants affect our health, and prevent or reduce environmental risks in the future. The National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) is the Agency’s center for investigation of technological and management approaches for preventing and reducing risks from pollution that threaten human health and the environment. The focus of the Laboratory’s research program is on methods and their cost-effectiveness for prevention and control of pollution to air, land, water, and subsurface resources; protection of water quality in public water systems; remediation of contaminated sites, sediments and ground water; prevention and control of indoor air pollution; and restoration of ecosystems. NRMRL collaborates with both public and private sector partners to foster technologies that reduce the cost of compliance and to anticipate emerging problems. NRMRL’s research provides solutions to environmental problems by: developing and promoting technologies that protect and improve the environment; advancing scientific and engineering information to support regulatory and policy decisions; and providing the technical support and information transfer to ensure implementation of environmental regulations and strategies at the national, state, and community levels. This publication has been produced as a continued effort to support the EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment. It is published and made available by EPA’s Office of Research and Development to assist the user community and to link researchers with their clients.

    PREFACE TO THE REVISED EDITION It has now been over twenty-seven years since something inspired me to care about how many early limestone mills there were in the Indiana Limestone District and where they were located. Whatever it was, I am glad the spirit moved me and I have been able to preserve a record of their existence. I have now visited or revisited almost all of the one hundred and six mills identified in the original work. The only reason I have to say “almost” is because a few of the sites are now buried under tons of limestone grout piles or are flat open areas where the stone on which the mill previously sat has now been quarried.1 Housing additions and business buildings have made their contribution to obliterating these old mill sites. And while that is as it should be, it makes me happy to have at least in some way preserved the memory of when those once busy businesses were striving to provide the stone to build America. Rather than merely keeping the exact same title of the original work and calling this a revision, for that is what it is, I chose to add “Illustrated” to the title and thus make it have a new, albeit similar, one. There are so many pictures and new maps that a slightly different title seemed justified. The part of the original that is revised is not much in the way of new material but the correction of several errors that I made before. I only wish I could say I have found them all.

  • The Art of Stone Masonry in the Rockbridge County Area (1700 to Present)
    The Art of Stone Masonry In the Rockbridge County Area (1700 to present) Steven Connett Archaeology 377 5/25/83 Dr. McDaniel The art of stone masonry in the Shenandoah valley seems to be somewhat of a mystery prior to the nineteenth century. However, as some of us have learned from the anthropology 101 course: The absence of artifacts (documents in this case) is just as important as the presence of artifacts. In order to make sure that the lack of information was not due to my possible incompetence in research, I spoke with a current day stone masoner named Alvis Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds relayed t o me that when he was trying to learn the skills of stone masonry he, too, had great difficulty in obtaining information and thus decided to teach himself this art through the process of trial and error. Although this information did not directly aid me in my research, Mr. Reynolds did provide me with a bit of information that allowed me to derive a hypothesis on why there is this unusual lack of information in this line of study. I will state my hypothesis in this paper, however, I will not be able to prove it or disprove it due to the deficiency in available information. Mr. Reynolds explained to me that in the eighteenth century there were nomadic stone masoners. These nomadic workers went from valley to valley in search of people who needed help with building their houses. Since these people did not know how to cut stone themselves (after all, stone cutting is not the type of thing that is innate to most people) they had no choice but to p~y these men for their services or go unsheltered.

EonBon SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON, SEARLE, & RIVINGTON, CROWN BUILDINGS, 188 FLEET STREET. 1883 6 PREFACE. rPHE task of preparing a biography of Sir William Logan was not a self-imposed one, and was only undertaken with feelings of great delicacy. There are those who knew him longer and more intimately, and who might have done far better justice to his memory. But the work having been entrusted to me, I have endeavoured to discharge it faithfully. My aim has not been to write a eulogium or yet a lengthy criti- cism of Sir William, but rather to bring together such of his own words as will recall him to the minds and hearts of old friends, or enable those who were not privileged with his acquaintance to form for them- selves an estimate of his character and work. Canadians cannot afford to forget the name of oije who laboured so long and so earnestly to promote the interests of this his native land, and if the following pages in any way serve to keep green the memory of Sir William Logan, their compiler will feel more than repaid. We have plenty of Canadians able and willing vi. PREFACE. to work for themselves, but too few who, like Logan, are willing to work for Canada.
