Back in January, the City of New York and the New York City School Construction Authority (SCA) reached an agreement with the EPA Region 2 Office regarding the assessment and remediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) Caulk in public school buildings.
Under the Consent Agreement and Final Order which was entered under the authority of the Toxic Substance Control Act, NYC agreed to implement a pilot study to determine the extent that PCBs may exist in caulking at five schools.
Preliminary results from the first three schools that were tested all found elevated levels of PCBs indoor air. The final results will be posted on the Board of Education website. Copies of the approved workplan and the consent order are also available at the website.
